Obama Spokesman: “Experts” Recognize That Obama Must Break His Pledge To Employ No Lobbyists
During the campaign Obama pledged not to allow lobbyists in his administration. Then he went ahead and brought lobbyists into his administration anyway. And how does his official mouthpiece Robert Gibbs explain it all away?
During a briefing filled with questions about Tom Daschle’s decision to withdraw from consideration to be Health and Human Services secretary, Gibbs pointed to experts who describe the administration’s ethics rules as the strongest in history.
He also said those experts recognized that Obama would need to make exceptions to his pledge to run an administration free of former lobbyists.
Oh yes. The “experts” said it was ok.
Well I guess it’s ok for him to break his promises then.
Hope and change!
