I will throw a roadblock and quote any source that fucks over Obama's attempt to curb the influence of lobbyists. We can't allow the Democrats to save the nation. It will make it a lot harder for us in the party of death and assholes to get re-elected. Fuck you, Obama, you worthless piece of shit.

You've a strange definition of curb when he litters the Administration with lobbyists.

Eric Holder the ATTORNEY GENERAL was lobbyist for crying out loud.

(Oh ya, his ex law firm is going to represent all of those 'enemy combatants' when they are tried in civilian court)

Not to mention that the windows manufacturer Obama mentioned in tSOtU is owned by the husband of the chair of one of his economic development committees. No conflict of interest there giving them *stimulus* money and all.

There is nothing in there that suggests he wants money or anything else. All I see is an invitation to discuss what he said in the SoTUA. Nothing to suggest he is not going to reiterate what he said. And let me add this, lobbyist aren't all bad. Many people's voices would not be heard if not for lobbyist. The problem with lobbyist is when they can buy votes and loyality to override what's in the best interest of the country.
