I got a good chuckle out of yet another meaningless campaign "promise" gone out the window. The revolving door of his top people are leaving in droves, funny how when they left Bush we heard outcry's from the liberals yet not now?
It started with his hiring at least a dozen lobbyists despite his claim lobbyists "won't find a job in my White House."
Then they started leaving for lobbyist positions, industry positions, and so on
again despite his promise: working in his administration would not be “about serving your former employer, your future employer or your bank account.”
further promises...
Good stuff that is going seemingly unnoticed. Why are liberals so vocal about the evil Bush but stay quiet as sheep when Obama not only loses more but breaks his campaign promises in doing so?

On his first day in the White House, Obama announced that all his appointees would be required to sign an ethics pledge barring those who become lobbyists from “lobby[ing] my administration for as long as I am president” and — more broadly, for all former employees, not just lobbyists — “from any attempt to influence your former government colleagues for two years after you leave.”
The pledge, he boasted, “represents a clean break from business as usual” and will “help restore that faith in government” by “clos[ing] the revolving door that lets lobbyists come into government freely and lets them use their time in public service as a way to promote their own interests over the interests of the American people when they leave.”
