    Seems he has, he openly breaks the law firing an inspector general very openly and transparently, a lot like how open he is about giving the UAW a pay to play deal with the car company bailouts, he seems to think that he can do whatever he wants and no one is going to cross him !

    Lawsuit: White House won't release visitor records

    The Obama administration is declining to release documents that would identify visitors to the White House, embracing a legal position taken by the Bush administration, according to a watchdog group that filed a federal lawsuit over access to the records.

    The group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filed its lawsuit after being denied access to Secret Service records, including White House entry and exit logs, that would identify coal and energy industry visitors.

    The government's refusal to release the records contrasts with President Barack Obama's pledge of transparency.

    Barry has redefined transparency downwards, by firing the Inspector General in violation of United States law.

    Transparency in his mind might be to reveal only what he wants you to see. Much has been redefined: The Democractic Party for one.

    Obama will be the most secretive and corrupt President of all time. I am anxiously awaiting the day when the MSM will have NO choice but to expose him.

    I believe he just defined it for the first time. Honestly his reporting requirements for the ARRA require more of the recipients than ever before. This allows taxpayers to know exactly where their money is being spent and reduces the risk for fraud. You should look it up on recovery.gov it explains it all there including what transparency is.

    He won't release many things that would back up that statement.

    If he vetos HR1207 we will know for sure he is for corruption.

    You have to do more than say you want transparency. You must actually do something that backs up that statement.

    What he means by transparency is that he'll let you see what he wants you to see.

    No he has corrupted the word to mean something totally different. Black has become White and White has changed to Black.
