‘Real News:’ Hypocrisy and Transparency in the Obama White House

Nov. 20, 2012 6:01pm Christopher Santarelli

Will we see in term two, the new era of open government and transparency that the Barack Obama and his administration promised during the 2008 campaign, and still describes on the White House website to be committed to on an “unprecedented level?” Several recent developments suggest that the Obama administration has fallen far short of their promise.

Republicans on the House Science Committee are accusing EPA Administer Lisa Jackson and other senior level officials in the agency of using aliases on private gmail accounts to conduct official business in an effort to dodge transparency. The existence of alias email accounts used by EPA administrators was first uncovered as a result of a FOIA request by Chris Horner. By law, all government work must be done on public/government issued email. Horner joined “Real News” Tuesday to discuss this EPA practice, why they would do it, and other examples of the Obama Administration dodging public oversight.

Hmm, transparency or hypocrisy? Questions, questions, questions. Which is easier? Which is more fun? Do the fools who voted for Glorious Leader even know what transparency or hypocrisy are? Nah! Okay guys, just go ahead and do what you want.

Does anyone remember the “ethics test” he supposedly was going to require of anyone who worked for “the administration”. It quickly disappeared when most of his appointees couldn’t pass it.

You know what? This is just ONE more thing in the long list of ILLEGAL or Unconstitutional crap that the CROOKED admin does….but will ANYTHING ever be done about it? H3LL NO!

ANY time something comes up….(Obama not being a Natural Born Citizen, Fake Birth Certificate, Fast & Furious, War without congress approval, Benghazi,) ALL they do is focus on the “NEXT” thing, and NOTHING gets done about the OTHER things they have done…it just “goes away”.

I am SICK TO DEATH of the GOP playing CHESS with the Dems…because it is like a amateur playing with an expert..and the GOP LOSES EVERY FREAKING TIME!

SOMEONE GROW SOME BALLS and IMPEACH him and his cronies, or TRY THEM FOR TREASON…God KNOWS they have done MORE than enough to WARRANT IT!

  I’d rather be in prison than watch my country fall to a bunch of communists and know I did nothing to fight them.

Yes the Marxist POS said all bills will be on the net to be viewed by the public before the lawbreakers voted on it. That was one of many lies the pig uttered,of course his worshipers believed every lie that tumbled from his purple lips because they have low intelligence,they’re OBAMAZOMBIES,void of logic and reason.Marxism is based on the big lie and that’s all we’ve gotten out of this corrupt regime from day one.

  Obama is NOT a marxist. He is a capitalist of the highest order. I would know because I am a real Marxist socialist. For proof that he is a capitalist just look at who he has in his cabinet as evidence.
  It’s obvious you are just a racist, bigoted *****!
