Obama breaks his 'No Lobbyist' vow -- again

"Well, as you may have heard Obama is President of the United States. And, no surprise, lobbyists funded his campaign and, with Obama's active help, they are drowning out the voices of the American people as Obama quickly packs his administration with lobbyists.

"How does he do it? With a straight face--and a quick slight of hand--he rationalizes the lobbyist is absolutely, positively the best person for the job and is absolutely, positively indispensable. Unless, of course, the indispensable person has some embarrassing secret that the famed Obama vetters haven't discovered. The latest indispensable lobbyists , brought to the attention of the US by lobbying waivers, are Jocelyn Frye who will be director of policy and projects for Michelle Obama's office and Cecilia Munoz who will be director of intergovernmental affairs in the president's executive office."
