Obama Hypocrisy

Obama Team Includes At Least 12 Lobbyists

"The Politico reports President Obama "promised during his campaign that lobbyists 'won't find a job in my White House.'" But "at least a dozen former lobbyists have found top jobs in his administration, according to an analysis done by Republican sources and corroborated by Politico.""

" In his Wall Street Journal (1/29) column, Daniel Henninger says, "Had he been judged under the current code of political justice, Timothy Geithner would be home in New York, phoning old IMF friends for a job. Instead, the former tax scofflaw is U.S. Treasury Secretary. Call it the Geithner Exception." Henninger notes the fates of Obama foreign policy adviser Samantha Power, Clinton campaign adviser Mark Penn, and former World Bank head Paul Wolfowitz, noting that "judged by standards such as these, Tim Geithner -- a non-taxpaying Treasury Secretary -- should be toast.""
