I’ll agree he is amazingly clean for a former Chicago politician but the bar isn’t just low on that one. It’s non-existent.
“[Lobbyists] will not work in my white house.”
-Candidate Obama
Obama’s first hire to manage his transition: John Pedesta, former lobbyist & brother of powerful Washington lobbyist, Tony Pedesta
Obviously, national politicians can’t create the bar, even if they’d like to do so. That’s our job. And we must demand that candidates and representatives of the people exceed it by far.
On the bright side, I think that bar creation is now starting to catch on all throughout the world.
