Wow, change really did come to Washington in 2009!

BTW, anyone else sick of Obama sucking up to the corporate pigs giving them everything they ask for while they still don't do anything to hire workers or increase wages?

Bear in mind this story got stuck in Politico because it's based entirely on the vague suspicions of unnamed lobbyists, who, y'know, may be disgruntled at a) not getting into the White House or b) not getting Obama to do their bidding.

That said, you're not alone, Cato @1.

I do love how the author of the article declares that "the reality of governing" obviously necessitates the constant inclusion of lobbyists.

@1 I'm sick of it, and I'm sure Obama will be too, after they finish filling up his billion dollar war chest for 2012 that is.

What about the Lobbyists who have gone to work in the White House, Daley for example?

You realize it's not just business that has lobbyists, right? Progressive groups, unions, environmental groups, immigration reform groups, veterans groups, middle east peace groups, etc. Anyone who spend a certain portion of their job contacting Congress is a lobbyist and has to register as one.

Please wait...
