8000 employees and 12 are lobbyists. Sometimes you have to give waivers if you're going to hire the best person for the job. Overall,Obama is keeping his promise.

ROFLMAO
Nah, it's call "hypocritical"....

Sheesh you'd be all over Bush's arse if this happened under his administration...

How would you feel if someone was responsible for hiring 8000 child day-care providers, and 'only' 12 of them were molesters? Would you be OK with that?
Hypocrite.

Another one of your warped analogies that doesn't deserve a reply.

yet you still did.

Just admit it's a hypocritical move on Obama's part.

No, it does deserve a reply. It's not my fault that you have the inability to formulate one.

And may I add hypocrite ... both of you.

Try doing some research.....

Quote :

“They are not going to dominate my White House,” Obama said at a rally in this town northeast of Des Moines.

Lobbyists can work in an Obama administration — just not for two years in an area related to their work as lobbyists, according to the candidate’s proposal released earlier this year.

Quote :

“They are not going to run my White House,” Obama said in New Hampton. “And they won’t drown out the voices of the American people.

One year from now, we have the chance to tell all those corporate lobbyists that the days of them setting the agenda in Washington are over. I have done more to take on lobbyists than any other candidate in this race - and I've won. I don't take a dime of their money, and when I am President, they won't find a job in my White House. Because real change isn't another four years of defending lobbyists who don't represent real Americans - it's standing with working Americans who have seen their jobs disappear and their wages decline and their hope for the future slip further and further away. That's the change we can offer in 2008.

What part of the highlighted portion above do you find to be ambiguous or open to interpretation? Or is lying just a small part of the Big Plan?

He changed his position to include a very small amount of well qualified people. Big deal! Overall it's a huge step up from previous administrations.

When he starts appointing Arabian Horse Association executives to jobs like heading FEMA,get back to me.

So I guess Daschle shouldn't be working in anything related to health care, after all, he was a lobbyist for the health care industry wasn't he?

The best was how he issued an executive order banning them, then turned around a few days later to "exempt" a few to get jobs.

CHANGE indeed. All that has CHANGEd so far, is the source of the stink eminating from DC.

Maybe its time for San Fran to CHANGE the name of the treatment plant again, and name it in honor of #44

Pardon me, Artie, but aren’t lobbyists the lowest life form in existence? They certainly seemed to be when you wrote this:

Thanks again for proving what a world class hypocrite you truly are.

The facts about Grampa McBush suck,don't they?

And incidentally, Artie; which is the more egregious offense:

A: Allowing lobbyists to help out with one’s campaign (as McCain did), where the lobbyists are in no position of power, or …

B: Placing lobbyists within one’s own administration (as the Messiah has done), where (since they are, according to you, low-life scum unable to keep themselves from wrongdoing) they are in a position to abuse the power they have and actually do some real damage to the American people?

I'm honestly surprised Artie hasn't commented to this... hmmm.

Do you honestly think that none of those 76 lobbyists wouldn't have found jobs in a McCain Administration? You think they were just helping out McCain for the fun of it? The difference here is that McCain was completely surrounded by them whereas Obama has but a few.

McCain had more lobbyists than any other Presidential candidate. You can read about here. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802260009

So you admit that it's okay for Obama but would not have been for McCain?

How many lobbyists overall does Obama employ? It's progress,not perfection.

Well, Artie, I guess we'll never know the answer to that question, will we?
But one thing we do know, indisputably and fo' sho', is what the Messiah said concerning lobbyists:

" …and when I am President, they won't find a job in my White House."

And one other thing we know, indisputably and fo' sho', is that the Messiah was lying through His teeth when He said that.

Is that the talking point the kos krowd is using now? Can't wait to see what they (and you) are going to come up with to rationalize the Daschle fiasco.

Personally, I think that Daschle is toast. At this point, it would be best if he stepped aside.
