WASHINGTON (AP) - Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, in his first full day on the job, is announcing new rules to limit special-interest influence on the government's $700 billion financial rescue program.This new administration means business! They've only ignored the new rules three times this week.The new rules are designed to crack down on lobbyist influence over the rescue program. The Obama administration says they go farther than the lobbying rules imposed by the Bush administration.
Other Changes:
- Lobbyists must pledge that their companies will reduce financial rape and pillage by 50%; Congress doesn't like competition.
- Austerity measures include: Congress may not be bribed with multi-million dollar mansions, only smaller vacation homes.
- A sign of tightening conditions, congressmen will no longer provide reach arounds to their lobbyist partners. In a concession to Congressman Barny Frank, meetings may still be held in the Congressional locker room.
- No more hiring lobbyists! Unless they are Democratic ones.

I bet liberals would marvel if Obama announced a 20% cutback in white house toilet paper.
I hope people wake up before this guy does some seriously stupid sh*t and his minions and puppets in the press can't help themselves from nodding and swooning in agreement.

The press will at some point have to say something negative. I wonder what it will be that pushes them over the edge.
