CNN Disillusionment begins: Obama breaks his own rule
CNN is either1) Just starting to figure it out or 2) Setting up the negative tone they feel is necessary to create news for the next four years. Or both. Let the mutual backstabbing begin. You deserve each other. Just a couple of nights ago, we heaped praise on the new president for announcing what he called a new era of openness, where in his administration, transparency would rule the day. And the lobbyists that he was so critical of during the campaign? Well, he told us they will now face even tougher new restrictions. President Obama: "The executive order on ethics I will sign shortly represents a clean break from business as usual. As of today, lobbyists will be subject to stricter limits than under any other administration in history. If you are a lobbyist entering my administration, you will not be able to work on matters you lobbied on, or in the agencies you lobbied during the previous two years. When you leave government, you will not be able to lobby my administration for as long as I am president." Posted by: gorb 2009-01-24 |
