Contrary to President Obama’s anti-lobbying executive orders yesterday, it’s apparently perfectly OK to have recently lobbied for a defense contractor (Raytheon) and now become Deputy Secretary of Defense.
Welcome to Washington, FOB Bill Lynn.
Is it time to start an ethics meter?
The “drip, drip, drip”?
Obama luckily dodged a bullet on Bill Richardson.
But, he’s willfully playing with dynamite on serial liar Tim Geithner.
He has an Interior Secretary who once threatened to sue U.S. Fish and Wildlife if it gave Endangered Species Act listing to the black-tailed prairie dog.
And now, he waives his own, one-day-old ethics rules, and all for the military-industrial complex to boot.
AND… shades of Bush! … the waiver was released at 4:46 p.m. Friday, Eastern time.
Just like Bush doing a Friday evening news dump.
Hey, Obamiacs, are any of you tired of getting hit over the head with reality yet?
And, MSLBs, are you going to start finding more of a voice?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
