“The same President who said ‘I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists that their days of setting the agenda in Washington are over’ when he was running for office has given the FCC’s top job to a former lobbyist. Wheeler donated $38,500 to Obama’s election efforts and helped raise additional money for Obama by becoming a ‘bundler,’ arranging for large contributions from other donors after hitting legal limits on personal contributions.  Not surprisingly, the cable and telecom companies that Wheeler springs from are ecstatic about the nomination.  Wheeler led the NCTA from 1979 to 1984 and the CTIA from 1992 to 2004.”
