Obama declared a more open, & transparent Administration, but like so many of Obama's claims the facts don't match reality.

If this were President Bush the Lame Stream Obamedia would be on this like there was no tomorrow for the next 2 years, calling him names.

Investigations Find

Two investigations found that Freedom of Information Act requests sent to the DHS were reviewed by Obama administration political appointees.
“Through the course of an eight-month investigation, the committee has learned that political staff under the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano have corrupted the agency’s FOIA compliance procedures, exerted unlawful political pressure, on FOIA compliance officers, and undermined the federal government’s accountability to the American people,” Issa said.

So much for the hope and change.
 
Re: Investigations Find ‘Unprecedented’ Political Review of FOIA Requests by Homeland

Once again this conservative persecution complex springs up again.

Jesus.

It's like conservatives are under the impression that during the Bush Years ever single news channel on planet earth (minus Fox News) was bashing Bush 24/7 when really, things were just in reverse as they were today.

MSNBC generally was against Bush, for Obama
CNN generally has been neutral (people who want to dispute this. Quite frankly I couldn't care about your opinion, just because CNN doesn't accuse Obama of being a Kenyan socialist)
Fox News was for Bush and against Obama.

Oh well.

I swear, Americans when their guy isn't in power, can turn into the biggest ****ing whiners on planet Earth, never in my entire life has I heard THIS MUCH bitching and whining and moaning and complaining. Holy mother of god.

Yes Obama said his administration would be transparent, but in the end he's a politician, to try and slam him on breaking his promises is as redundant as saying Hitler was a bad guy (Yeaaaaaah godwinning for kicks).

In the end. The world will continue to spin and politicians will continue to be politicians.

Politicians are like diapers, their contents are the same, and they should be replaced very, very often.

That's all well and good.

Now about 0bama's open and transparent government? Any comment on that?

Yeah.

It's an American presidency.

:shrug:
 
Re: Investigations Find ‘Unprecedented’ Political Review of FOIA Requests by Homeland

Yeah.

It's an American presidency.

:shrug:

A simple "I have no relevant comment to make" would have been sufficient.
 
Re: Investigations Find ‘Unprecedented’ Political Review of FOIA Requests by Homeland

A simple "I have no relevant comment to make" would have been sufficient.

Ah nope.

It's the American presidency.

Make alot of promises, get elected, break most of them, and make the best of it.

I'm not surprised the Obama administration is not as transparent as he'd hoped.

He was very naive during the campaign in some of the things he said :shrug:

I don't really know what you want from me that can't be explained by my original post in this thread.

Obama's a politician, knock yourself out dogg.

Yes, this coming from the person who calls Islam a cult and Obama a Black Liberation theologist :lamo
 
Re: Investigations Find ‘Unprecedented’ Political Review of FOIA Requests by Homeland

Relevance to the topic or my post?

Just thought we could give your system of government a look see.

Your dodge has been noted.
 
Re: Investigations Find ‘Unprecedented’ Political Review of FOIA Requests by Homeland

I'll take "liberal posts for 500, Alex."

Ah nope.

"What is the greatest number of excuses that can be made about our pig-in-a-blanket president in a single reply on a political forum?"

"That's correct!"

I really don't see how I'm making an excuse for him.

I'm simply saying how in the end, this is what happens in every presidency.

"He broke his promises" :2angry:

WELL NO **** SHERLOCK.

Just sitting on the sidelines slinging mud I see.

Reminds me of the guy giving you crap because your football team lost when he doesn't have a team.

Nice dodge Jet.

Ask me when a republican is almost at the end of his first term And I'll say the same thing :mrgreen:

Let me help you out:

Ah nope. It's the American presidency.
This is nothing but an excuse.

Make alot of promises, get elected, break most of them, and make the best of it.
This is another excuse for the last excuse.

I'm not surprised the Obama administration is not as transparent as he'd hoped.
Excusing the behavior.

He was very naive during the campaign in some of the things he said
He's the ****ing president, hes supposed to be the one muthe fuka round here knows what the hell is going on.

Obama's a politician, knock yourself out dogg.
Excusing his behavior by calling him a politician.

Does that make it clearer?

Re: Investigations Find ‘Unprecedented’ Political Review of FOIA Requests by Homeland

Oh deary me.

I'm not making excuses for his behaviour.

IF he's done something wrong, he should be held accountable.

Is there any president in the history of the ****ing world that make good on every promise he made? That followed every ethics rule in the book?

All I'm saying is. I'm not surprised :shrug:
 
Re: Investigations Find ‘Unprecedented’ Political Review of FOIA Requests by Homeland

I find it very odd that you guys love to come down on Obama when he does the opposite of Bush, then criticize him for doing the same thing as Bush.

It's a fair criticism, but really, what do you want from the guy?
