When President Obama first took office way back in 2009 he promised this would be "The most transparent administration in history." Either he didn't mean it or he wishes now he had never said it. The Obama administration is headed for history as the least transparent administration in history. From day one Mr. Obama, for every little ill that came down the pike, played the blame game...it was always someone elses fault (usually former President George Bush in Obama's mind).
Now we're four plus years down the road, sadly Barack Obama still sits in the Oval Office, and while he and his minions still find fault elsewhere, they are playing a new game...it's called 'I didn't know.' No one, from the president on down claims to know anything about anything. (Well, that's not true...someone knows something, they're just not saying.)
The administration is scandalous. At present there are no less than six big news scandals hanging over the White House.....and EVERYONE swears they know nothing about them. Attorney General Eric Holder may have lied to Congress because he swore he knew nothing about his department getting a warrant for tho phone records and e-mails of Fox News reporter James Rosen. Turns out Holder signed the warrant papers himself. He is also denying culpability in the Associated Press scandal where the DOJ went after emails of 20 reporters.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denied knowing anything about requests fro extra security in Benghazi, Libya. Seems she has some explaining to do because it appears she may not have been entirely truthful with Congress either. (For an nteresting read on Benghazi - click the link: The Anatomy Of The Benghazi Lie )
IRS official Lois Lerner said she did nothing wrong, then pleaded the 5th Amendment in her agency's apparent targeting of conservative groups for over-the-top scrutiny in their applications fro tax exempt status. She refused to resign so she has been sent home on administrative leave (government code for "vacation") while she still collects her $170K annual tax payer funded paycheck.
And of course, the president knows nothing either. Scandal after scandal in his house and he claims not to know what's going on?? He says he wasn't told about the IRS scandal...read it in the paper, he claims. Huh? The IRS is going after his political enemies, has been doing so for three plus years and he knows nothing about it? Hard to believe.
The James Rosen case, involving an apparent leak regarding the North Koreans, Eric Holder said it was one of the biggest threats to national security he has ever seen in his long government career, and he didn't tell the president?? Hard to believe.
The most scandalous presidential administration in U.S., Barack Obama at the helm....seems to me, if the White House was truly transparent as he promised it would be, all these scandals would be nothing more than "little" news if they just came out and told the truth!!!
