... It was an unremarkable January day, with a steady stream of lobbyists among the thousands of daily visitors to the White House and the surrounding executive office buildings, according to a Washington Post analysis of visitor logs released by the administration. The Post matched visits with lobbying registrations and connected records in the visitor database to show who participated in the meetings, information now available in a search engine on the Post’s web site.
The visitor logs for Jan. 17 — one of the most recent days available — show that the lobbying industry Obama has vowed to constrain is a regular presence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The records also suggest that lobbyists with personal connections to the White House enjoy the easiest access.

lobbyists are going to follow the money.

I thought Obama said he wouldn’t do business with the lobbyists. Another lie.
Well then you know whatever follows didn't happen. hussein is a lying POS. Whatever he "pledges" to do you can bet he does just about the opposite.

This empty suit will say anything to get elected.
