Obama’s lucky his name isn’t “Mitt Romney.”

One of President Barack Obama’s golf partners this weekend was a lobbyist for the financial firm Bain Capital.

According to a White House pool report, Obama hit the links on Saturday at the exclusive Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va., with Joe O’Neill, president and CEO of the lobbying and public affairs firm Public Strategies Washington.

Rounding out the foursome was former U.S. Trade Rep. Ron Kirk and Milton Carroll of CenterPoint Energy.

The Obama White House has repeatedly touted its lobbying ban as a major tool in fighting corruption and influence peddling. The self-imposed ban largely keeps former registered lobbyists from working in the administration, though the administration has granted a number of waivers.
