Transition Team’s Ties to K Street
Excerpt:
Michael Warren is the COO of Stonebridge International, a lobbying and consulting firm in Washington. Warren isn’t registered to lobby, but his firm represents corporate clients such as Airbus, Gulfsands Petroleum and, until recently, ConocoPhillips. The Obama transition office says Warren is on “partial leave” from Stonebridge International.

"It includes four former lobbyists"Can't help but to think of the hell Hussein gave McCain for having former lobbyists working for his campaign. I'm sure the Washington Post will have a front page story tomorrow highlighting the hypocrisy.
