It keeps getting better folks.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has chosen Mark Patterson another former lobbyist to be his chief of staff. What were the odds?
There is not even a pretense of keeping the promises regarding lobbyists in the Obama white house.
So far in addition to Geithner and Patterson, we have William J. Lynn III, who up until July was a lobbyist for defense contractor Raytheon, now blessed by Obama as the number two Defense Department guy.
And finally, let's not leave out William Corr, the new deputy secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services. He lobbied through most of last year as an anti-tobacco advocate.
No cries of foul from the media though. Whatever Barack does is just fine with them.
