Contractor Washington

How come lobbyists had “too much influence in Washington” but now they’re “the most qualified”?

This question is referring to Obama’s statement that lobbyists “won’t find a job in my White House”.

I assume he said this because people agreed that lobbyists have too much influence in Washington (conflict of interest between regulating business and making money in that same business). But now those same Obama supporters are letting him flip-flop with the rationale that “we need the most qualified people” (who also happen to be lobbyists……big surprise).

So are lobbyists a problem or not??

Example:

“William Lynn, deputy defense secretary nominee, was registered to lobby as recently as last year for defense contractor Raytheon, where he was a top executive. ” (from article)

This is the “change” Obama kept talking about during the campaign. What he meant to say is: “once I’m elected, I’m going to change my stripes.”

As former Alabama Governor George Wallace famously quipped: “there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between a Democrat and a Republican.”

Therefore there can be no real change. It’s all just a ruse to placate the people.
