<i>In late July, when it was first reported that Barack Obama was planning a transition team for the possibility that he would be elected to the White House, the McCain campaign criticized him for exhibiting a presumptuousness unbecoming of a presidential candidate.

"Before they've even crossed the 50-yard line, the Obama campaign is already dancing in the end zone with a new White House transition team," said spokesman Brian Rogers. "The American people are more concerned with Barack Obama's poor judgment and readiness to lead than his inaugural ball."</i>

excerpt from article:
<i>Timmons is the chairman-emeritus of Timmons and Company, a small but influential lobbying firm he founded in 1975, shortly after leaving the White House. According to Senate records, he registered to lobby in 2008 for a wide range of companies and trade groups, including the American Petroleum Institute, the American Medical Association, Chrysler, Freddie Mac, Visa USA, and Anheuser-Busch.
. . .
His registrations include work on a number of issues that have become flashpoints in the presidential campaign. He has registered to work on bills that deal with the regulations of troubled mortgage lenders Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae; a bill to provide farm subsidies; and bills that regulate domestic oil drilling.</i>
