What do you think about Obama breaking his promise on transparency in the White House?

"President Obama has abolished the position in his White House dedicated to transparency and shunted those duties into the portfolio of a partisan ex-lobbyist who is openly antagonistic to the notion of disclosure by government and politicians."

    Just another one of his "changes you can believe in" that

    he promised US and is now delivering, along with dozens

    of others. He has his own idea of how America should look;

    as he was never a patriotic citizen before he became

    president and that's why he attended Rev. Wright's christian

    church for twenty years......because that preacher "dammed

    America" in his sermons. Now, he's apparently re-making

    and remodeling an America that suits him. (disgusting).

    a million - i'm no longer disillusioned that he broke a marketing campaign promise via fact i do no longer place any inventory in such supplies. The promise performed its purpose. It have been given him elected. genuine, some individuals are offended at him for it. yet how a lot of human beings will keep in mind it whilst the time comes for a sparkling election? now and back, there are great consequences to breaking such supplies. yet generally, the electorate is so distracted by potential of the numerous matters encompassed by potential of organising our rulers that his ruin with faith is of little result. Obama and his advisors surely made that calculation. Transparency wasn't so significant as announcing some thing to get into potential. Now, i'm outraged at what Obama does along with his potential. supply that outrage a 10. even however, I genuinely have found out to anticipate this of politicians regularly. extra effective than something, i'm critically disillusioned with society that we proceed to place a lot potential into political palms.

    Since day one he's been as transparent as a brick wall. Might as well get rid of the position. It's the first cost-cutting decision he's made in 18 months.

    he never made ANY promises, he "intended" to clean up washington, he would close guantanamo "at the earliest opportunity", he would "work towards more transparency" absolutely nothing definite in any of his speeches - very clever- very devious

    I really don't care. All you republicans keep ranting on and on about wanting a transparent government. To me, I could care less about that topic. You realize no one on the left on this site is actually paying as much attention to it as you, right?

    If anyone actually believed that then you are naive! Or hopeful.

    Why would anyone be surprised at the exposure of another lie?
