from filling out all those waivers he was issuing for lobbyists since he took office.

Besides, as NRO’s Jim Geraghty noted about a year ago: “All statements from Barack Obama come with an expiration date. ALL of them.”

True ‘dat, fo’ shizzle.

The Hill reported this action quite differently. I don’t subscribe to Roll call so I can’t compare and contrast. The Hill article can be read here:

Is this some sort of a joke ?

Does Mr. Eisen think he’s writing for The Onion ?

Update on Recovery Act Lobbying Rules: New Limits on Special Interest Influence

First, we will expand the restriction on oral communications to cover all persons, not just federally registered lobbyists.

This is from THE WHITE HOUSE WEBSITE’s “Briefing Room” and a blog placed by Norm Eisen, Special Counsel To The President For Ethics And Government Reform.

Remember this…………….EVERYTHING they do against America is on purpose and planned on many layers….. to anger, enrage and incite those they fear most.

It’s not like he had banned any lobbyists until now anyway.

The kool aid drinkers are starting to wake up w/ a hangover realizing their kool aid was spiked. But they are in total denial. I’ve had many liberals get hostile with ME when pointing out Obama’s follies. They are really just projecting their anger and disappointment for Obama, on me, the messenger.

It’s always hardest to see yourself and acknowledge that you’ve been duped. It’s so obvious from the outside, especially other countries.

This makes no difference since so many folks got waivers any way.

At least now he doesn’t have to deal with the nearly weekly embarrassment of “well THIS lobbyist is super important and essential, so we got a waiver.” It’s just accepting he was never going to be held to his own standards.

he’s towing a giant porta-jon to hold all the stuff he’s shoveling.

why is the whole world seeing the joke that this administration is (brits are now being joined by the russians, for pete’s sake), but our citizens are still drawn to the hypnotic obama light?

Next thing you know, The Mess-I-Yah will nominate someone to SCOTUS who’s more radical than himself and also stop aid to Israel.

Oh….. He did both of those things already.

There’s a big trash compactor under Obama’s bus. That’s the only possible way he could have room for all the stuff he’s thrown under it.
