A huge huge task that my pessimistic side, thinks is hopeless. I want to see all of these reforms happening especially the one about staff being prohibited from working for contractors for two years and public access to lobbying statements. Those seem to be so critical in terms of public oversight of government action. Obama may be new, but old and experience has only proven to a be fatal so far. Not saying Obama is perfect, since he himself has taken contributions from lobbyists, but its a great idea. Kudos to Edwards for challenging Clinton to not take lobbyist campaign contributions. I hope clinton comes around or at least sees the value of lobbyist reforms.

It's sad how fast we think that he's dreaming.
