Can anyone fathom how Obama's choice of Raytheon's William J. Lynn, currently a lobbyist for the defense giant, could be nominated under the principals of his new ethic rules? The Presidents choice of Lynn is to serve as Deputy Secretary of Defense just last week was unethical.

  Direct Quote From Carl Levin
  "Given the President's new stricter rules requiring his appointees to recuse themselves from matters or issues on which they have lobbied, the Senate Armed Services Committee will need further information before proceeding."
  
  Since Obama has spoken forget the ethics rule?
  
  Robert Gibbs said Thursday that "even the toughest rules require reasonable EXCEPTIONS',..... HE IS UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO SERVE THE PUBLIC IN THESE CRITICAL TIMES.
