Did Obama Lie About “Excluding” Lobbyists From His Administration?

Another mismatch between Obama's rhetoric and reality!

Remember this?

We face a deficit of trust -– deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works that have been growing for years. To close that credibility gap we have to take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue -- to end the outsized influence of lobbyists; to do our work openly... That's why we've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs, or seats on federal boards and commissions. --Barack Hussein Obama State of the Union address
If Obama really "excluded" lobbyists then why are there so many working in his Administration? Timothy Carney at the Washington Examiner put together the following list:

Obama lies, and he doesn’t care if you see him do it. He likes the words that come out of his mouth. He thinks they sound good. Nothing else really matters.

From the article:

Although Barack Obama promised lobbyists would not serve in his White House, and issued executive orders restricting former lobbyists, more than 40 ex-lobbyists now populate top jobs in the Obama administration, including three Cabinet secretaries, the Director of Central Intelligence, and many senior White House officials.

...Obamah just misspoke. ...an honest mistake.

Obuma is a liar. Pure and simple. Whenever Obuma speaks about bipartisanship, tax beaks, off shore drilling, nuclear power, faith, honor, etc.; he is lying. Republicans who believe he can be trusted to keep his word on anything do so at their own election peril.

Reality is staring us all in the face. Obama lies like a dirty rug. He is very, very arrogant and can lie at you with a straight ace. This lobbyist lie gives an opportunity for even the most dumbed down to wake up and see Obama for the lying serpent he is.

I agree. He definitely lied and there’s no doubt about it. However, during his address to Republicans at the retreat last week, I think I recall him fielding a question about this and he said what he meant when he said that was he wouldn’t add any more lobbyist. Therefore, those 30 lobbyist currently in the administration don’t count. What a bunch of BS.
