I don't think Obama can do it directly

[amdezurik]

but one of the first priorities needs to be a big clean-up of K street

[stillcool]

1. It isn't the lobbyists that are at fault..

it's the government representatives that take the bribes. The Right Wing Foundations that nurture right wing commentators, educators, lawyers, politicians, judges, etc., are what I would like to see handicapped in some way.

2. remember the "K Street Project"?

that was a deliberate plot by WH operatives as well as congressional ones to make sure ONLY repukes were hired by the lobbying firms. So yeah it IS their fault...

3. Now see...rewarding republicans..

with positions on K Street wouldn't be very beneficial if the companies they represented did not get what they wanted out of Congress.
