Please note that nothing has changed in DC, it is no longer the People's House. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Hope and Change?
WASHINGTON – Celebrities Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney and Denzel Washington, prominent Democratic fundraisers and heavyweights from the financial services and high-tech industries were among those landing visits with President Barack Obama or others at the White House during Obama's first months in office.
The records are a step toward making good on Obama's promise of transparency. But they also show that despite a campaign pledge to reduce special-interest influence on policymaking, lobbyists are getting face time with him and his aides
Things were supposed to be different. He publicy stated that on the campaign trail, numerous times.
He received milllions of votes promising as much.
Especially when it came to hobb-nobbing with lobbyists and the way things are done in DC.
Same 'ol, same 'ol.
....well,...so much for "change".
Can "hope" be far behind?
