“If you are a lobbyist entering my administration, you will not be able to work on matters you lobbied on, or in the agencies you lobbied, during the previous two years. – Obama”
Registered Raytheon lobbyist William J. Lynn III was nominated to deputy defense secretary, waiving the rule that employees are prohibited from decision-making related to their employers in the past two years and from taking jobs in agencies they lobbied recently.
Ooops!
This is like Strike 1 for Obama backing down from his standards in less than a week? I hope this won’t set a trend you know. Now, why William J. Lynn III is an exception to the rule, I have no clue. Could it be because his experience would help the administration? I don’t know and I don’t care.

so M P is a Republican? hokey, nothing is set in stone, so kung may mga waiver, expected na yan, siempre during the elections maraming nasasabing pangako para makuha ang atensyon ng botante, and let us give them a chance, we are trying to move on.
ok lang na iclose ang Gitmo, despite na meron mawawalan ng trabajo na mga kababayan, global naman ang apektado, pero let’s look at the bigger picture, we want to correct the wrongs of the previous administration. In the end what we want to achieve is Peace, kasi pag may peace hindi tayo matatakot pumunta sa BAli, Indonesia, dahil doon palaging nagbobobomba ang ,mga terorista. or kahit saan kahit sa Mindanao na panay ang kidnapan ng mga International Volunteers, kung mababagp natin ang pananaw ng mga terorista, our children and our childrens children will have a very good future.

actually, hinahanap ko ang reason what’s with Lynn at kelangang i-waive ang ethics sa kanya. i’m sure hindi yan basta basta mag-bi-break nang rule si Obama unless warranted considering na andaming nakatutok sa kanya. ako isa na. hahahaha
