Tougher rules against revolving door for lobbyists and former officials
"No political appointees in an Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years. And no political appointee will be able to lobby the executive branch after leaving government service during the remainder of the administration."

This one has been driving me nuts from the beginning. I have had correspondence with the folks at Politifact to get this down as a Promise Broken when Obama passed his rule and then agreed to have waivers. It just took some time but it was finally ruled as such.
This is a great website for the no nonsense, bipartisan follow up on what is going on in Washington. Politifact.com
