Kinda like how Obama says he's for transparent government, right?

Compared to all the republican candidates who are against transparent government? They all campaign on being for transparent government Doctor and I never expect too much no matter who wins. Not so with medicare and other programs. Either Obama wins and holds the line or a republican wins and those programs will be diminished.


I would argue that for all the heat that W. Bush got from a media that despised him, he was more open than Obama.

The Democrats' behind-closed-doors debates on Obamacare? Not broaadcast as promised on C-SPAN?
Throwing reporters who criticize him off his plane (on two occasions that I'm aware of)?
Trying to shut down Fox News and deny them access to the White House? (which even the rest of the liberal media objected to and sided with Fox, because they knew that if Fox was shut down, the noose would be tightened even more around the remaining media)

The Obama White House has reached Himalayan new heights in Orwellian double-speak, when they boast about their unparalleled "transparency".

Again, Obama's "FCC Diversity Czar" Mark Lloyd is a guy who can be seen on youtube video praising Hugo Chavez's takeover of the Venezuelan media as "very effective" and "a good model to follow".

With the "transparency" Obama offers, who needs a Soviet Union?
Especially with a liberal media who eagerly acts as his Ministry of Truth.
