Obama's Pentagon Nomination Stalls in Senate Over Ethics Concerns
President Obama's pick for the No. 2 job at the Department of Defense is being held up in the Senate over concerns that the former lobbyist may be in violation of Obama's own ethics rules.

Quote:
William J. Lynn III, who has broad support in Congress, has been considered a shoo-in to become the next deputy defense secretary. But Democratic leaders said they would have to wait to act on the nomination until after Obama determines whether Lynn needs a waiver exempting him from the president's new rule that individuals cannot work for the government agencies they have lobbied in the past two years.

Too funny. Good luck finding someone in Washington who has not been a lobbyist in the last 2 years.
