		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;We will keep this transition process transparent, so that you will know which officials are being selected to serve in this administration and lead the country for the next four years.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What we won&#039;t tell you is how much the people doing the selecting are being paid or who is paying them.

Why? Because we are the change we&#039;ve been waiting for.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-129359&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Fit fit&lt;/a&gt;: Fit Fit  Where on any of those pages does itsay who is part of this. there is no list of people in the organization. And I agree it isprobably a way to funnel in the donations to keep them for the re-election adn to pay off al his buddies in Chicago that backed him from the beginning.

And I guess the no lobbyists thing was just a campaign ploy.    Man the public got suckered by this empty suit. But we knew all along who he was and in a few months we will be saying &quot;told you so&quot;</description>

		<description>Haha, Rocky... In 4 years we all know Hillary is going to want to run again, but with Obama as the incumbent she cant. I bet you she pulls out all the bullshit he pulled this election (bet she&#039;s got paper trails. BLACKMAIL)  then to get him to step down. 

One thing recent history has taught us... DON&quot;T cross the Clintons.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;campaign donation money left over&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Did he pay off Hillarys running debt which is usually customary among a party with a victory?

Or is he going to cheap out?</description>

		<description>So why create a non-profit organization for this? 

Get used to it folks, they&#039;ve got the non-profit racketeering dodge/scam down pat. Way I figure it, Obama still has a lot of campaign donation money left over that he would otherwise have to give back. Trouble is how do you return money to foreign and illegal parties without raising eyebrows at the FEC? With a 501, he can launder what&#039;s left of the money and keep building funds by transferring money from one 501 to another until it comes time for re-election, while continuing to accrue even more funds for next time. Look at all the money funneled by himself, Ayers, and Acorn. He should have a couple thousand 501 dodges in place come 3 1/2 years from now. And you&#039;ll probably find their names carefully packed into future DNC legislation earmarks to draw money directly from our taxes for his use. Mark my words, he&#039;ll have a cool 2 billion or more to draw from by next election cycle.</description>

		<description>Gosh, this sounds odd to me....
&lt;blockquote&gt;According to an Obama campaign staffer who is being retained for the transition and inauguration planning, the “project” is intended not only to identify personnel for the Obama Administration, but to then send those project employees who know all of the senior staff in the various Cabinet departments and federal agencies out into the corporate and lobbying community to leverage those contacts.

“It’s &lt;strong&gt;taking the old ‘K Street Project’ that Republicans had and doing it twice as fast and on steroids&lt;/strong&gt;,” explains the aide. “So, if you have a Project aide working on Commerce Department transition, that Project aide will be more likely to get a senior lobbying job because of all those connections at Commerce. That former Project aide will also be able raise more money for Democrats in this town and help others with jobs and such.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s like I heard something against just this sorta thing...sometime, someplace, from someone.  Hmmmm, makes ya wonder

&quot;Change means a tax code that doesn&#039;t reward the &lt;strong&gt;lobbyists &lt;/strong&gt;who wrote it, but the American workers and small businesses who deserve it. &quot;
-Senator Barack Obama Democratic Nomination Acceptance speech  08/28/08

So ends the anti-K Street lobbying bit.  Did it even take 24hrs?</description>
