That's one way to look at it and, no offense, I think it's the childish way. 1.) He immediately set a BHAG: no lobbyists. Campaign promise fulfilled. 2.) His SecDef told him the best guy for the job is X, and hopefully explained why in great detail. 3.) He granted an exception. As Washington is absolutely overwhelmed with lobbyists since that was old way, and since no president before him has ever even attempted anything close to his BHAG, I'll grant the exception as 99% complete. Now if half of his appointees were lobbyists, I'll grant you the point. If 25% or 15% were I'd grant you the point. But 1??? or 2??? Come on. You're just picking knits to be religious. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:287577 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
