Where did the anti lobbyist administration go?

Question

NY Times: Pressed by industry lobbyists, White House officials on Wednesday assured drug makers that the administration stood by a behind-the-scenes deal to block any Congressional effort to extract cost savings from them beyond an agreed-upon $80 billion. 

Drug industry lobbyists reacted with alarm this week to a House health care overhaul measure that would allow the government to negotiate drug prices and demand additional rebates from drug manufacturers. 

In response, the industry successfully demanded that the White House explicitly acknowledge for the first time that it had committed to protect drug makers from bearing further costs in the overhaul. The Obama administration had never spelled out the details of the agreement.

Seldon, the first two words in her post were NY TIMES.  Do you not consider that a source?  Jesus Christ...

Anyhow, getting back to your intelligent question with a source, Obama lied about not having lobbyists.  Big surprise.  He's been employing lobbyists since he took his first steps into the Oval Office.
