But the study's authors warn that not all of the deregistered lobbyists may actually be out of business.

"At the federal level, many people working in the lobbying industry are not registered lobbyists, instead adopting titles such as 'senior adviser' or other executive monikers, thereby avoiding federal disclosure requirements under the Lobbying Disclosure Act," CRP and OMB Watch said in a statement.

Interesting. The articles submitted in the last few days were suggesting he was seeing just as many lobbyists as any pres, and I wondered if it was wharrrblllgarbbll. Guess it was.

Putting people out of work during tough economic conditions.

Lobbyists? I find that definition of "people" too broad.
Next you'll suggest that they have basic human rights too?

He did not run them out of anywhere. A great number of former lobbyists went to work for the administration. Obama rebuked his own order limiting lobbyists less than one week after issuing it. New boss is the same as the old boss, the new boss just ignores the constitution because he does not like what it says, and the old boss just ignored parts.

Over 1,400 lobbyists "deregistered" with Congress in the second quarter of 2009

Whoah! If that doesn't get him a second term, then the people are just not paying attention.

/Yeah, I know. Just sayin'.
