To be fair, this article was originally posted on 01/28/2009, not too long after he was sworn in.
Did you even look at the list of lobbyists from your link? I'm not too concerned about the agenda of people who lobby for the likes of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

And that makes them good? The policy put in place made no distinction in the employment of previous lobbyists.

There was one lobbyist who worked for Goldman Sachs. Is that OK too?

What about Obama's administrators enabling surprise tobacco drug testing dragnet at middle schools along with arresting the parents for endangerment of any kid who comes up positive? Second hand smoke kills according to the prosecutor, your now facing attempted manslaughter.

We're not talking about the same thing. Please read what I quoted from my link below, as I'm not sure you read the link at all.

said by article :
The initiative is aimed at a system of advisory committees so vast that federal officials don't have exact numbers for its size; the most recent estimates tally nearly 1,000 panels with total membership exceeding 60,000 people.

Under the policy, which is being phased in over the coming months, none of the more than 13,000 lobbyists in Washington would be able to hold seats on the committees, which advise agencies on trade rules, troop levels, environmental regulations, consumer protections and thousands of other government policies.
