Imagine someone being so prejudiced in favor of promises he actually made that he fails to keep promises he didn't make. Obviously he needs to keep all posible promises or he's not ready to be President!

Piffle. Obama is concerned about the level of lobbyist influence and took a positive step towards reducing that influence. He didn't say lobbyists are bad people and should be shunned. He didn't say he was going to eliminate any or all lobyist influence. He didn't say he would refuse to accept donations from lobbyists clients, relatives, childhood friends, gradeschool classmates or anyone who may have sat next to a lobbyist on the bus.
