This from the Prowler:

Quietly late Friday, Norm Eisen, Special Counsel to the President on Ethics and Government Reform, released new federal rules that barred public comments from any and all individuals with interests in the federal stimulus funding program. Already federally registered lobbyists are barred from making public comments about stimulus programs they or their clients might be interested in, and which may influence those federal officials determining where those stimulus dollars go.

Now, the White House is barring public comment from any individuals who might have an interest in the stimulus funding. According to government ethics lawyers, this rule could extend to a corporate official making a public speech in Washington, D.C. that might garner extensive press attention.

Good couple of months for Obama:
