Cosmetic Change We Can't Believe In

So, The One announces that if you’re a lobbyists you can’t work on the transition – this is supposed to give us all a tingle up our legs as we believe that, finally!, government will be cleaned up…

But, meanwhile, we still haven’t got a valid explanation from Obama about just why the security precautions were taken of his internet donation link and just where did all that money really come from? We know some came from non-existent people and some from foreigners…anyone want to take bets on some of it coming from lobbyists via third-party cut-outs?

Obama, if you want us to believe you’re really going to change how DC does business, then call for a special prosecutor to look into all campaign fundraising in 2008. We’ll be fair – we’ll have the GOP looked at, too.

After all, Democrats, there is nothing to fear from a full airing of just who donated to whom, right?
