OMG!On his first full day in the White House, Barack Obama promised to “usher in a new era of open government”?

What Happened to"HONEST LEADERSHIP, OPEN GOVERNMENT"?

go.bloomberg.com/.../bloomberg-checks-obama-transparency/

The president’s openness pledge is also undermined by a recent Bloomberg News analysis, which showed that 19 of 20 cabinet-level agencies disobeyed the Freedom of Information Act requiring the disclosure of public documents. In all, just eight of the 57 federal agencies met Bloomberg’s FOIA requests for top officials’ travel costs within the 20-day window required by the Act.

The White House disputes the notion that the president hasn’t kept his promise of transparency.

“While creating a more open government requires sustained effort, our continued efforts seek to promote accountability, provide people with useful information and harness the dispersed knowledge of the American people,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz said in an e-mailed statement.

YES, keep the U.S. secure don't let us see your travel expenses....WHAT? OMG! Obama Must Go!

    THIS IS TRUE DO YOU REMEMBER HIS SPEECH WHERE HE SAID THE OCEAN WATER LEVELS WOULD DROP

    THE MAN IS NUTS

    to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.

    to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.

    to end earmarks.

    to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.

    to close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.

    to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America's most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.

    to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.

    to end no-compete contracts with the government.

    to disclose the names of all attendees at closed White House meetings.

    for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.

    to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter of last year.

    Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel. North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal government.

    no earmarks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying ( Nebraska , Louisiana ).

    all broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health care reform, immigration reform)

    Take for example the decision of Eric Holder, the president's attorney general, to hold terrorists' trials in New York City. Or his decision to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian. Two disastrous decisions

    Just for your amusement, nothing to prove, I've provided a link of Obama's most

    65 OUTRAGEOUS lies. Compare them to what you see.

    Answer: Obama wa also going to "drain the swamp of lobbyists" remember ? Only

    problem with that is he NEVER intended to keep it, because licenses FOR

    Lobbyists increased 34% in his first year. There just is SO much the Liberals do

    noit know about this man, it's simply amazing.

    @@@ Hey Liberty - If the Republicans were such "obstructionists" then what

    happened in Obama's first 2 YEARS, when he owned Congress ? And the

    Repubs of 2010, were doing EXACTLY what they had been MANDATED by the

    public to do....STOP Obama and the Dems INSANE spending. They DID to

    an extent. You really need to give up this Liberal "cry" because it's totally

    erroneous.

    Great question. We have it at the local level here in California. Look at our Governor. He tells us to vote on Prop 30, which is going to make us the most highly taxed state in the union. He said initially that this proposition would only impact the so-called rich. He also said that the money would go to schools. He has lied. I am tired of the crap from these people. For once can we have an honest politician anywhere? Obama lied about oil drilling. He does not understand economics. He does not understand how to analyze a balance sheet. Can't we get some honesty from anyone?

    He did usher in change. The republicans are resisting it as much as they can, and are willing to destroy the whole country just to stop it from happening. Obama has been good for this country... the republicans are delusional.
