This Sounds Like Good Change to me: Obama Limits Lobbyists

I wont lie to you. I think our political system stinks. I think it is a big rotten mess. It is designed by and breeds corruption. I think all lobbying and PAC should be eliminated. I think we should have open, publicly funded elections. Well its a long list so I will just stop.


Anyways somewhere during the election Obama must have promised to do something about lobbying in general. I personally didn't remember hearing this but after a year and a half long campaign who knows anymore. The core of the new lobby restrictions are “if someone has lobbied in the last 12 months, they are prohibited from working in the fields of policy on which they lobbied."


Another thing to note and I guess I didn't fully understand myself during the election was that, “During the campaign, federal lobbyists could not contribute to or raise money for the campaign...the president-elect is taking those commitments even further by announcing the strictest, and most far reaching ethics rules of any transition team in history.” Whether you were for or against Obama it would be hard to argue that this sort of change is a bad thing.

I'm confused or missing something here. Your title says, "This Sounds LIke Good Change to me: Obama Limits Lobbyists" but your final sentence says, "Whether you were for or against Obama it would be hard to argue that this sort of change is a bad thing." Come on, Shane, you're acting like a politician now, wanting it both ways -- LOL.

I guess that was my preemptive strike against the inevitable Republican assault for saying anything good about Obama. My goal was to be as non-partisan as possible. I was trying to find out some new information as to what is planned and came across this. I just hate lobbyists. LOL I also hate typing dangleberry to post this :)
