Lobbyists Stew...
Good!

The policy change, described by the White House as the next step in President Barack Obama’s drive to limit influence-peddling in Washington, could affect hundreds of lobbyists who serve on the panels, which were created by Congress in the 1970s to provide private-sector advice to the government.

Good news. I hope they go through with this.
Didn't know they had an "ethics czar" in the administration.

Good. I can't wait for him to bounce the people who were lobbyists from his own administration. If he walks the talk, good for him.

Any step in removing money from the system, even incremental, is good.
However, I still am pessimistic about ever truly removing corruption of American democracy by money. It's our most fundamental problem, IMO.

The issue here is lobbying, not "lobbied". |

So who's the new Lobby Czar? Or have all the lobbyists been promoted to czars to let them continue their activity unchallenged.
