Obama Breaking His Promises On Lobbyists
He said he wouldn’t take campaign money from lobbyists, but he went ahead and took it from lobbyists’ spouses and business partners and children. He said that lobbyists wouldn’t have a place in his administration, but now that he’s been elected…they do.
Despite campaign trail promises that special interests wouldn’t be a part of his administration, President-elect Barack Obama’s has sent signals to the lobbyists that they can get jobs with him.
...the overall message to the lobbying community appears to run counter to the Democratic senator’s campaign promise to keep special interest advocates at arms length.
So what other campaign promises is Obama going to break? My guess is that this promise for a net cut in government spending is the next to go down in flames.
