In office for 36 years, the first thing he does when he goes private is to lobby for a law nobody wants on behalf of his new employer. What happened to Obama's promise to stop this?

Ironically, one of Dodd's final acts in Congress (opposing filibuster reform) basically made any kind of substantial lobbying reform impossible.

Obama's promise was to limit lobbyist movement in the other direction (industry -> government). Not that he's done a great job of that, but let's paint his promises in an accurate light.

He did mention the other way as well. I'm not sure if he was only talking about limiting the extent to people in his administration of the whole gov.

President Obama cannot stop people from talking to members of Congress.
