Ex-Defense Lobbyist Leads Obama’s Responsibility-in-Contracting Session

Hmmm … let’s say you were planning the schedule for Monday’s Fiscal Responsibility Summit at the White House, and you were looking for candidates to talk about “Contracting and Procurement.” Would you select the longtime defense-industry lobbyist who had to get an exemption from ethics rules in order to win his Pentagon post?

I only ask because Bill Lynn, the deputy defense secretary and former Raytheon K Streeter, will be one of those leading the “Contracting and Procurement” session (h/t to Ben Smith).

On another note, any thoughts about Treasury Secretary Geithner leading the “Tax” portion of the summit?
