President Obama promised to stop the revolving door. Lobbyists “won’t work in my White House,” he said. On his first day, Obama issued an executive order that he would later say “excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs.”

The Washington Post’s Juliet Eilperin studies to what extent Obama has kept that promise. The piece is pretty good, weighing the costs of such a policy and the holes in it. But there’s one part here that strikes me as terribly misleading.
