Barack's apparent lack of the 'transparency' he promised

I just finished reading an article on the 'net' by the Organization called "Politico.com", I'm sure everyone knows of their existence. Well, not being a big fan of 'Politico.com', I tried avoiding reading any of their articles during the 2008 Pres. Campaign because I felt all they were trying to do was dig up smut on either candidate, and I'm still a little bit Leary. Well anyway, Fox News ran an article titled "Report: Obama Issued Executive Orders Without Notifying Public". The article isn't saying Obama has in anyway lied to us about his 'transparency in office' policy, it simply states Obama's office has issued three executive orders, one memorandum, one presidential notice and a proclamation without any attention from the White House press corps. That's because the White House press office never announced them and never posted any reference to them on its Web site. The press office, when questioned on the subject, told Politico it was just a 'simple oversight'! Sounds like a typical liberal excuse when their caught with their nickers down, doesn't it

You can go to the website: www,whitehouse.gov/briefing_room/presidential actions/ and read for yourself what was reportedly not listed earlier. I have to agree with those folks at "Politico.com", it is a matter of grave concern and while it may not be the President's fault, it is his press office, and the day to day operation of this office is the responsibility of the Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs. Who has been bathing in his own sudden fame while making the various different News Talk Shows such as CBS's "Face the Nation" this past weekend to tell Bob Schieffer just how utterly bipartisan the effort to pass the pork bill was.

Our new President is quickly finding that our Founding Fathers weren't as outdated as he thought, he is backtracking on several fronts that he has already peremptorily gone stuck in. Fronts such as; the detainees at Camp Gitmo. Last month he issued an Executive Order to close Camp Gitmo and move the detainees to facilities here in the states, remember? Rep. John Murtha offered his district in Pa. to build a detention center big enough to house these terrorists, and the mayor of one of the towns in that district immediately jumped on the bandwagon and began making changes to his budget to make way for the new influx of tax dollars required for such an undertaking! Well it was reported today that the D.C. Federal Court of Appeals dealt Obama a bomb, and ruled that only the U.S. Immigrations Office can bring these terrorists into the U.S. not the president!

It will get better folks, we'll win a few, they'll win a few, then all will be tossed aside to save their bacon when the 2010 campaign season is upon us! I personally hope we Republicans have rallied around Michael Steele by then and are able to regain ground in both houses, plus replace the three turncoats who gave Obama his "Porkulus", I'm referring to Senator's Susan Collins and Oympia Snowe R-Maine both, and Arlen Specter R-Pa. These three Rhino's have to go and by doing so, we'll be sending a message to other Republicans - you work for us buster, we put you in office, we can can take you out of office too!
