This from today's New York Times:

In what ethics-in-government advocates described as a particularly far-reaching move, Mr. Obama barred officials of his administration from lobbying their former colleagues "for as long as I am president." He barred former lobbyists from working for agencies they had lobbied within the past two years and required them to recuse themselves from issues they had handled during that time.

Mark Patterson was a registered lobbyist for Goldman until April 11, 2008, according to public filings.

so much for change

That map looks a little distorted.

For example Texas isn't even "leans Republican"? And NC is solid Democrat?

Oh I see its political party affiliation, not voting history. The former isn't as meaningful as the later.
