And don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way OUT!

Can you tell I don't like these opportunists?

First good news from this administration in a long time. Next they need to exclude House and Senate members from any committees where they may have a conflict of interest. Good luck with that one.

This new administration is doing lots of interesting, if under the radar, initiatives. I find it quite exciting!

advisory panels as part of a little-noticed initiative by the Obama 
administration to curb K Street's influence in Washington, according to White 
House officials and lobbying experts. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/26/AR2009112602362.html">The new policy -- issued with little fanfare this fall by the White House ethics 
counsel -- may turn out to be the most far-reaching lobbying rule change so far 
from President Obama, who also has sought to restrict the ability of lobbyists 
to get jobs in his administration and to negotiate over stimulus contracts. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/26/AR2009112602362.html">Under the policy, which is being phased in over the coming months, none of the 
more than 13,000 lobbyists in Washington would be able to hold seats on the 
committees, which advise agencies on trade rules, troop levels, environmental 
regulations, consumer protections and thousands of other government policies. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/837B6A82-1FCB-4861-95FA-EC421A951DA9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
