The problem is, there is no way to stop them from being hired as consultants which ends up being the same thing as a lobbyist.. Meaning with both Obama's ban and Trump's it doesn't really change anything.
What needs to happen, is elected officials dealing with lobbyists should be considered bribery. The only thing these so called bans stop is after they are out of office, but doesn't even stop that. While in office and able to create policy, they can be bribed by lobbyists.
I guess though this means you now support Obama as it was his executive action that allowed this to happen and because of the fact Obama has already done the same thing..
