Truth, Lies and In Between

Obama’s secret administration. Transparency my ass. Whatever he can do to keep the masses in the dark about is overt socialist/green agenda, he will. America will wake up one day and ask WTF?

Funny how you libs howled at Bush and Co. yet not a peep from you fuckers now.

So much for transparency

Remember Barack Obama’s pledge to make this the Most Transparent Administration Evah?  Josh Gerstein at Politico notices a few items that seem to have slipped by the national media, thanks to a lack of openness on the part of Obama’s communications team.  Obama issued three executive orders and a handful of regulations without ever announcing them:

In his first weeks in office, President Barack Obama shut down his predecessor’s system for reviewing regulations, realigned and expanded two key White House policymaking bodies and extended economic sanctions against parties to the conflict in the African nation of Cote D’Ivoire.

Despite the intense scrutiny a president gets just after the inauguration, Obama managed to take all these actions with nary a mention from the White House press corps.

The moves escaped notice because they were never announced by the White House Press Office and were never placed on the White House web site.

They came to light only because the official paperwork was transmitted to the Federal Register, a dense daily compendium of regulatory actions and other formal notices prepared by the National Archives. They were published there several days after the fact.
