Barack Obama administration faces embarrassment over furtive meetings with lobbyists

Ahh, more "change" we can all believe in.

Well at least they appear to be keeping their promise of disclosing lobbyists WITHIN the Whitehouse.

They are just conducting their secret pocket-greasings and criminality OUTSIDE of it.

And the beat goes on...LMAO

As part of his commitment to bring change to Washington, Mr Obama began made logs of visitors to the West Wing public, so anyone could keep track of who was being granted an audience with his aides and when.

Well, it certainly appears that our government isn't very fair to it's people.

I'll have my grandma write them another angry letter, she has great penmanship and rules her home with an iron fist similar to Bush's mother.

Not sure why it won't work guys---I'm simply pasting it exactly as it appears?
