New Executive Ethics Order

This is really cool. As of the 20th, Obama has decided that anyone accepting public office will have to recite, and be legally bound to, an ethics pledge basically stating that they will not accept gifts from lobbyists (down with special interest groups!), attempt to help former employers or clients for the first two years of service, lobby any executive branch official as of leaving a government position, etc. You should really read the text in full because it is very interesting and I've barely even grazed all the points.
