Obama’s new ethics rules broken after two days

Barack Obama introduced what he heralded as the most sweeping ethics rules in American history -- rules that would “close the revolving door that lets lobbyists come into government freely.”

That only lasted two days!

Two days after setting down the ethics rules, Obama waived them for his nominee for Deputy Secretary of Defense, William Lynn. Until last fall, Lynn was a registered lobbyist for the defense contractor Raytheon.

The most sweeping ethics rules in American history only lasted two days.

After many contradictions during Obama’s two-year campaign, this should come as no surprise.
