Day1/100, obama stated that he would not tolerate lobbyists to be a part of his administration and would require a two year waiting period (old rule) before allowing a former admin official to hire on with a lobby firm or a business hustling work from the Fed.

But..............here is what he does on Day2/100:

Obama picks Raytheon lobbyist for No. 2 position at DoD
Lynn brings depth of experience but appointment rasies questions of lobbying influence

I pulled this out Google.

When challenged, obama's press guy says they need to make exceptions or else D.C. will be turned upside down. Huh???
