Change" #2,523............from Rico

Nov 11, 2008 pResident-elect Hussein Hopenchange said "lobbyists would not run his White House." [MSNBC]

.............soooooooo, he just changed the White House into the Red Shed, and moved the Executive Offices to K Street.

Slicker than Slick Willie, he appointed 17 lobbyists to key positions in his administration in his first 14 days in office.
- This does not include Tom Daschle (hock, ptooey) who was actively lobbying but never bothered to register as a lobbyist.

Is it ANY surprise to (a) see the ramping-up of Goldman Sachs lobbying expenditures, or (b) observe their near-perfect (well, they did 'miss' making a profit on one day of Q1) profit-making trading days?

Shocka, huh?
