Thanks.
To be fair, the vast majority of those on your list are not "policymaking jobs." Though, also to be fair, 1-2 appear to be...

Shaken, not stirred!
Agreed.
My response was pretty straightforward. I didn't make excuses for him, and owned up that he does have a couple in his admin.
Since I've worked in DC & understand what most of these positions do, I'd be interested to hear your take on why you think most or all of them are "policymaking positions."
Take your time.

While Obama bashes lobbyists, Geithner's Treasury organizes secret briefings for them
By Brent Budowsky - 01/28/10 01:43 PM ET
To understand why Americans are so angry with Washington, and why I have called for the replacement of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, don’t miss the story broken by Bob Cusack, managing editor of The Hill newspaper.
Cusack reports that staff for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner organized private, off-the-record, confidential briefings for lobbyists about the president's State of the Union address and major programs.
These briefings were available to lobbyists, and not the general public. They were secret, and not open to the media, and not to be reported publicly. The president attacks lobbyists while his Treasury secretary gives first-class tickets to insider special interests, while the rest of the American people fly standby.
Wall Street lobbyists pushing for huge bonuses get the first-class ticket; taxpayers who paid for the bailout weren't invited. Banking lobbyists whose companies received more than $20 billion of help through various government agencies get to sing, "Fly me to moon" in private briefings, while jobless workers have to sing, "Brother, can you spare a dime?" in the cold outside.

Nothing wrong with being a liberal or a Democrat, but you don't have to be a gullible idiot too....
Claiming they are not in 'policy making positions' is like claiming they aren't all wearing blue suits.....a distinction without an iota of difference.....

This was his original promise...
He had promised that "No political appointees in an Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years.
Now he refined it to make it easier to swallow....
Its still disingenuous....an "artful" way to fool the fools....

"We've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs."
It's worded in a rather devious way. If they excluded any lobbyists from any jobs it would be true.
I would think that his speech writers would know people would see through such a statement, though. There are certainly less than the previous administration, but that's still two in the fucking cabinet.
