Obama already going back on his word

He has not even put his hand on the bible yet, and he is already going back on his campaign ideals. According to Nedra Pickler, of the Associated press, Obama has "relaxed" his stance on lobbyists. Once stating that "...once I am president, they [lobbyists] won't find a job in my white house," are now being told that they cannot lobby during the transition, and if they lobbyed within the past 12 months, they cannot lobby for the same cause once the transition is over.

You could come out and say that this blatent hypocrisy, which it is. Or you could say that he has lobbyists and a short rope, which he does, for now. Either way you look at it, it is a long way from having no lobbyists in the white house as he promissed during his campaign.
