More documented proof that Obama is the biggest liar in US history. Remember, this is the guy who proclaimed that lobbyist would not have a place at the table. Since day one, Obama has lied and has hired lobbyists, hosted lobbyists and sold-out to lobbyists.
Here's one of many, Obama lies:
"I am running to tell the lobbyists in Washington that their days of setting the agenda are over. They have not funded my campaign. They won't work in my White House."
For those illiterate liberals, here's a video for your viewing pleasure:
From WaPo:
Before 9 a.m., a group of lobbyists began showing up at the White House security gates with the chief executives of their companies, all of whom serve on President Obama's jobs council, to be checked in for a roundtable with the president.
At 1 p.m., a dozen representatives from the meat industry arrived for a briefing in the New Executive Office Building. At 3 p.m., a handful of lobbyists were lining up for aceremony honoring the 2011 World Series champions, the St. Louis Cardinals.
And at 4 p.m., a lobbyist for Goldman Sachs arrived in the Old Executive Office Building for a meeting with Alan B. Krueger, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.
How can this be? Obama told us he hates "fat-cat" bankers.
It was an unremarkable January day, with a steady stream of lobbyists among the thousands of daily visitors to the White House and the surrounding executive office buildings, according to a Washington Post analysis of visitor logs released by the administration. The Post matched visits with lobbying registrations and connected records in the visitor database to show who participated in the meetings, information now available in asearch engine on the Post's web site.
Remember this is the same White House who was meeting lobbyists across the street, at Caribou Coffee, to duck these same visitor logs and disclosure laws. The same White House whose employees used their private e-mails to secretly communicate with lobbyists.
The visitor logs for Jan. 17 — one of the most recent days available — show that the lobbying industry Obama has vowed to constrain is a regular presence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The records also suggest that lobbyists with personal connections to the White House enjoy the easiest access.
More than any president before him, Obama pledged to change the political culture that has fueled the influence of lobbyists. He barred recent lobbyists from joining his administration and banned them from advisory boards throughout the executive branch. The president went so far as to forbid what had been staples of political interaction — federal employeescould no longer accept free admission to receptions and conferences sponsored by lobbying groups.
Except for those he granted waivers to. Wonder why WaPo failed to mention any of this information that is widely known?
"A lot of folks," Obama said last month, "see the amounts of money that are being spent and the special interests that dominate and the lobbyists that always have access, and they say to themselves, maybe I don't count."
Obama believes if you lie enough people will eventually by the bullshit.
The White House visitor records make it clear that Obama's senior officials are granting that access to some of K Street's most influential representatives. In many cases, those lobbyists have long-standing connections to the president or his aides. Republican lobbyists coming to visit are rare, while Democratic lobbyists are common, whether they are representing corporate clients or liberal causes.
It's Obama's favorite pay-to-play scheme. These lobbyist bundled money for him to get elected and now he is rewarding them with access to the White House and taxpayer dollars. Guess who Obama really loves? Union goons...
Many of the lobbyists who appear on the visitor logs are representing organizations that support administration policies. Bill Samuel, lobbyist for the AFL-CIO, for example, has been to the White House more than 50 times since Obama took office. The logs show he met four times with former White House Chief of Staff William M. Daley and three times with Gene Sperling, director of the National Economic Council.
