Is Al Sharpton a Lobbyist? Special Interest Group?

I heard a radio interview with Al Sharpton yesterday about his meeting at the White House with Obama.

Sharpton said they met for an hour and a half and it was the only thing on the President's schedule for the day. Sharpton said how well it went and how Obama is on the same page, so much so that Sharpton didn't need to leave a prepared letter that he had taken.

Sharpton says that Obama AGREED that Sharpton should be included in any budget and economic meetings at the white house. Reverend Sharpton said that Obama agreed that those meeting with him (two black leaders) should have a place at the table in any economic/budget meetings.

Now, my Question is - isn't Sharpton a Lobbyist, in effect? Isn't he a Special interest group, in effect?

Hearken back to Obama's constant professions that he would insulate the white house from lobbyists and special interest groups. Right.

Obama will throw him right under the bus at the first sign of trouble, which probably won't be long...

The WH and the Dem Congress are feverishly working on ways to target those who evade taxes or owe backtaxes (to support the wild spending) - yet, they are going to include Al Sharpton in budget and economic meetings, a man that won't pay his taxes.
