Lobbyists Annoyed With New Obama Regulations

So you dont think it is a good idea to rid the lobbyists? because that was the point of the story, in case you missed that.

But wouldn't this be a priority?

This is the first thing that Obama has done that I agree with: Limit the power of those lobbyist who are working in their own selfish best interest and not in the best interest of the country, YEAH!!! ........... uhhhhh, what is the hitch? How does Obama benefit? Is this a political feel good move that will amount to nothing?

I guess it's not back to business after all! Good for you Barrack!

Normally I'd oppose anything that increases unemployment in America, but if anyone deserves to be unemployed, it is the lobbyists. Now their positions can be occupied by people willing to promote the best interests of all citizens. That change rates a top priority.

CJ,

Let's not forget "walking on water"

Before everyone gets too giddy, Obama has plenty of lobbyists in his cabinet, and as long as lobbyists lobby for his agenda, they will continue to have access. This is all about getting rid of those lobbyists who are against his agenda, not getting rid of lobbyists.

When Obama replaces the capitalist lobbyists with his buddies, you'll suddenly not hear about the lobbyist problem anymore.

This is a VERY GOOD thing. Of COURSE those whose benefit most from the positions (influence peddling lobbyists) would be the most angry that they are no longer able to benefit from their connections.

This is the way a democracy is SUPPOSED to function...outside of the realm of special interest groups who promote the good of the individual or organization over the good of the whole...in this case the whole being those who are law abiding citizens and tax paying residents of the United States.

Good job, President Obama! (And you should know, I am a Republican!)

First off Norm is not a czar, he is special counsel to the president for ethics and government reform. Please stop pandering to the FOX NEWS with the czar crap.
Second the biggest problem this nation faces is the undue pressure big business puts on our politicans to get their way or better the bribes they pay to pass bills that favor big business over the people. This is ever more clear in the health care reform fight as the health insurance industry spends billions fighting to keep things as they stand. People here are blind to the real problems and are bombarded with BS charges coming from the right and their voice FOX NEWS. Obama could cure cancer and these people would have a problem with it. Obama once again is doing what he promised to do.

Obama needs a Czar Czar.

This is the one issue I certainly agree with Obama. Are the Republican going to strongly defend Lobbyists?

This is a priority, the lobbyists are running this country! I can't wait to see if we get any results from this.

Great Strategy Mr President, get all of your favorite Lobbyists and make them a place in your cabinet then rule that no more Lobbyist can make suggestions. Sound like something A cummoy I mean Obama would do !!

Hoorayyyyyyyyy

Fantastic!!!! I applaud Obama for this move. It's about time a Prez has the gaul to take on such a big intitative.

Iwonder if he is also going to limit his buddies with the big bucks george soros and acorn

I thought he had a priority czar?
Someone told me that Mrs. O is his boss.

Of course this is a priority...this sleezy legal bribery should have been halted before it ever began.

rthompson, Roger is that you?

that is unless .... they are lobbyists who champion for the same public interest goals shared by Obama and his Administration.... what Obama says and what he actually implements will always be two very different animals
