"Liz Fowler, Top Obama Health Care Aide, To Lobby For Johnson & Johnson"

[PokerGuy]

Look to Jim DeMint for another example.

Last I checked the Heritage Foundation is not a lobbying group. Nice try though.

We need a 10 year moratorium on federal politicians joing firms as lobbyists.

Yup. In each direction.

Last time I check they pad our Politicians pockets to get what they want so why would this differ from what the OP is whining about?

Really? Can you provide any evidence of HF paying politicians to "get what they want"? Or is that just a figment of your imagination? Look, I know you don't like the Heritage Foundation, but they are not a lobbying group, they are a think tank. There are plenty of lefty equivalents.

What you call "whining" is actually just people (correctly) pointing out that contrary to the lies of bobo and his minions, this administration is the same corrupt revolving door as previous ones.

looks like the only one *whining* here is you Ausm, if you're not annoyed with this then it clearly shows how much of a sheep you truly are....baa baa buddy.

Um, because he campaigned on it?

Id love to see the quote for that, because I dont ever recall that particular promise.

Anyone who thinks this is a single party issue is seriously deluded.

But meantime, lets go back to worying about fake communists and gun rights or trying to control what people eat.

Perhaps you should read my earlier post (and for bonus points, this time try comprehending too!). It is obviously not an issue just with the current administration, it's always been an issue with all administrations. The hypocrisy lies in the fact that bobo made such a big deal about his administration being different when in fact it works the exact same way as all the other ones.

Wow, I did not realize the president writes legislation?

Is there something similar to a non compete thats for govt employees? Otherwise, how do you stop someone from quitting and joining a lobbying firm? You have no control over what they do after they leave

I can't access my corporate training at this time but there are very detailed rules on how soon a government employee can be employed by a private contractor.

Special concern is for the people who used to procure items and manage contracts for the government working for the contractor that they had previous relationships with.

This is par the course for Washington. Look at Medicare part D for another set of overt revolving door bullshit.
