Obama makes a mockery of his own lobbyist ban
More than 40 former lobbyists work in senior positions in the Obama administration, including three Cabinet secretaries and the CIA director. Yet in his State of the Union address, Obama claimed, "We've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs."

Apples an oranges. Trumps was a WH employees ban on being lobbyists. Obama’s was a ban on all registered lobbyists from serving on boards or advisories.

All the same, if Obama couldn't do it (he indeed could refuse to see lobbyists like he promised) how do you condemn Trump?

Don’t descend to name calling. Look. It’s not remotely the same thing. Trump reversed an EO he was legally allowed to implement.

I think you’re fine to be critical of the few exceptions Obama granted to people serving in areas outside the functions they worked in but it’s not the same thing as a broad reversal as they were running out of the building. Obama was in his seat to take the heat for the exceptions and they were specific to situations. Again, I think you’re fine being critical of that action as there are other candidates that could have simply done those roles without an exception to avoid this kind of lame finger pointing.

It's almost as if his own ethics E/O was full of shit from the beginning....Trump revoked his ETHICS EO banning federal employees from being lobbyists within 5 years of leaving government just before midnight. Likely to improve the employment opportunities for his friends and family. Quite brazen. Not sure how 74M feel about this transparent decision and timing.
