Its pretty sad to see a government for the people to continue becoming less transparent with each president.

What's worse is that they claim at the top of their lungs that it's better and try to convince people through propoganda and political spin that they're right, when it's clear that it's not.

Interesting. One would think the White House would support such protests given his agreement with these protesters in principle.

Eh. Obama is just as transparent as Bush was. Not even a high powered MRI machine can peer through those blockers.
 
O'bama will soon advise us that the park police behaved "stupidly" towards our gay brothers and sisters and then repeal this dread to mankind of a policy of don't ask and don't tell.

He's also a politician. Also remember that Bush campaigned to bring back the decency of the presidency.

Politicians lie. What amuses me is people still like Obama and that the Bush defenders don't realize that by bashing Obama's lack of transparency, they are indirectly doing the same to a president they defended over his lack of transparency.

Bush did start a war that should never have been fought, IMO. So, yeah, that was his fault. I don't blame him for the housing crisis, though. As I understand the history behind that fiasco, it started way back during the Carter-era (Re: Community Reinvestment Act), esculated under Clinton (Re: Real Estate boom), and simply went unchecked under GWB (Re: Housing bubble burst).

So, no. I personnally didn't blame GWB for everything that went wrong in this country during his presidency...only the thing I could point directly at him as his responsibility - the Iraq War!

History will show the effects of Obama's presidency - how good or bad things really were and where blame should lay. Until then, I'm fine with letting history play out because so far, every action taken seems to be baring fruit.

The banks, as well as, GM have paid back large portions of their bail-out funds. States are starting to take advantage of Stimulus money to provide jobs (even part-time, particularly over the summer for tourism and summer jobs programs), the economy is getting better, companies are starting to re-hire. So far, everything seems to be coming around pretty much as the Messiah as foreseen. (Couldn't resist the sarcasm there. :mrgreen:)

Corrected and bolded for accuracy.

Hey, give Obama a break. I KNOW it's the most transparent administration in history because I can see right through it. LOL.

Interesting. I wasn't aware the US was a monarchy and the president had the sole authority to authorize a war without congressional consent.

Ah so your post was a way for you to segway into your typical bashing of bush supporters.... I have an idea. Perhaps we should concentrate on the topic of this thread and not supporters of a previous administration.
