Obama keeps his promise -or not!

Remember all that bloviating by O-bama against lobbyists? Well, the CHANGE is truly under way-

Lobbyists get posts on Team Obama

With the campaign over, lobbyists are out of the dog house and helping with the White House transition team.

President-elect Barack Obama has named 18 people to his team – and half of them are, or once were, registered lobbyists.

------------------------------

Obama's challenge is that many of Washington's experienced Democratic policy hands have made their living, for at least part of the Bush years, in lobbying. But he ran on a message of reform, refusing to take contributions from lobbyists and saying that they wouldn't work in his White House.

Did any one believe him? Of course, his media poodles did.
