Editorial: Lobbyists and advisory committees
Lobbyists should lobby, not advise
The Obama administration wants lobbyists off federal advisory committees.
President Obama is gradually making good on his promise to end influence peddling in Washington. The administration last month told lobbyists they are no longer welcome on federal advisory committees.

Is this the same BH0 that said he wasn't going to hire lobbyists into his administration? Does this cover them too?
How does this affect the czars?

LOL. Right.
0bama is just replacing industry lobbyists with his socialist cronies. There's just as much influence peddling as there's always been.

"President Obama is gradually making good on his promise to end influence peddling in Washington"
That's funny, right there. Now he has czars that are basically lobbyists in the White House. Truthers, animal rights nuts, perverts, Eugenics proponents. It's like a Star Wars Bar Scene in there.

0Bama getting rid of lobbyists? Oh, please. That'll happen just as soon as his promise of transparency and posting bills on the internet.
