More Lobbyists Hired by Obama, Geithner from Goldman Sachs

Newly installed Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner issued new rules Tuesday restricting contacts with lobbyists – and then hired one to be his top aide.

Mark Patterson, a former advocate for Goldman Sachs, will serve as chief of staff to Geithner as the Treasury Department revamps the Wall Street bailout program that sent an infusion of cash to his former employer.

Patterson’s appointment marks the second time in President Barack Obama’s first week in office that the administration has had to explain how it’s complying with its own ethics rules as it hires a bevy of Washington insiders for administration jobs.

Last week, the White House announced the president had waived the ethics rules to clear the way for the nomination of William Lynn, a former Raytheon lobbyist, to be deputy defense secretary.

The Change under Obama

Trustworthy people in government, but he appoints a TAX CHEAT it run the IRS. (I guess Tax Cheates are trustworthy when Obama hires them)
No lobbyist working in government but he waives that rule. (I guess their not lobbyist it they work in Obama's admin.)
No pork in the Stimulus package, but there's hundreds of millions of pork in the EMERGENCY (don't bother to read it just pass it so I can sign it)package. (I guess it not pork if Obama wants it)
The US is broke but Obama OK's hundreds of Millions of US dollars to be paid for foreign abortions. (I guess the US isn't broke)
He signs the orders to close Gitmo but he has no idea what to do with the detainees. (Maybe he should house them in his Chicago Mansion since he is not living in it )
He says no more torture only what is in the Field manual but he is studying the measure that can be used to get answers out of TERRORIST. ( I guess he can look them in the eye and they will spill their guts)
He has offended his supporters with his inaugeration speaker picks. (Oh well he won't need them for another 4 years)
After claiming transparency he has offended the Washington press corp. by not answering questions. (Gee the honeymoon is over maybe now they will ask the TOUGH questions)


Now that is a record for a man in office for a week. :wink:
