Son, it is a joke.
Tougher rules against revolving door for lobbyists and former officials

"No political appointees in an Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years. And no political appointee will be able to lobby the executive branch after leaving government service during the remainder of the administration."http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...for-lobbyists/

I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone in Washington who has not lobbied at all.
Is this the promise you are referring to?
