"We've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs." Obama

"We've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs." Said by Obama at his State of Disunion address. When the White house was asked about it, the response was, "we have turned away lobbyists for many, many positions." Interesting thinking. He hasn't turned away all lobbyists, just some, which makes the statement that lobbyists have been excluded a true statement. Here's some of the excluded, non excluded lobbyists in his lobbyist excluding administration.
