Closing the back door…

NEW YORK -- In his first order of business as his party's presumed presidential nominee, Barack Obama is instructing the Democratic National Committee to adopt his policy against accepting donations from federal lobbyists or political action committees.

I'm not sure he has any authority except in a moral sense to "instruct" the DNC, especially before the primary results are ratified by the Convention, but it's a heck of a message to send.

If we really wanted a "change" candidate, it sounds like we're really getting one.
