The revolving door in Washington

There's no reference to Bush in this Washington Post article, but then Bush didn't say while campaigning, that Americans "want real reform, and they're tired of the lobbyists standing in the way." According to Center for Responsive Politics, 326 revolving door lobbyists are part of the Barack Obama Administration. 527 revolving door lobbyist were part of the Bush Administration, compared to 358 during the Clinton Administration. I'm assuming these numbers include those going from government to business as lobbyists.
