WASHINGTON— Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner picked a former Goldman Sachs
lobbyist as a top aide Tuesday, the same day he announced rules
aimed at reducing the role of lobbyists in agency
decisions....
Melanie Sloan, executive director of the Citizens
for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said President
Obama was retreating from his own ethics rules barring
lobbyists from working on the issues they lobbied about during
the previous two years. "It makes it appear that they are
saying one thing and doing another," she said.
Methinks that as time marches forward the amount of gripes about
His hypcrisy and His shortcomings would outnumber the adulation
before he was elected. It's like that old folk wisdom about sex
and marriage: given the total number of times you do it with your
future spouse before you get married, that number will never be
matched by the number of times you do it after the wedding.

In the interests of efficiency why not just print up a new form
for these Obama Indulgences? We're going to need them.
Apparently, everyone is "essential" to this Administration.
Conveniently, Mr. Obama has the power provided to St. Peter to
forgive their sins.
