Obama Administration the least transparant in history

DAMN YOU OBAMA!!!

BENGHAZI!!!!!

And he will continue to be the least transparent president ever because he has the supporters like posters 2 and 3. Ironically, they will be the ones to ultimately pay for his failed presidency.

If you guys could focus on important things, such as a real issue or an actual scandal, then you might win some of us over. In the meantime, claiming Obama is covering up massive tuberculosis outbreaks is just embarrassing for you. Childish attempts at criticism sometimes receive childish responses, as that is all they warrant.

Is he the least transparent in history or were the other administrations much better and keeping things from the public to the point that we never knew?

Give examples of other presidents transparency that would have been shielded by Obama.

I am sure Reagan was above board on everything that happened when he was president.

Clinton, too according to this thread.

You are further proving my point that you don't know what a scandal is - for example, how would 8 trillion added to debt ever be considered a scandal? This is why you are embarrassing.

So since LEONARD SMALLS also mentioned BENGHAZI, does that also make him an Obama supporter?

while Obama has had one of the cleanest administrations ever - not a whiff of serious impropriety that I can think of. I don't think any 'scandals' have reached the white house, do you? Unless you think the WH is orchestrating things to an unrealistic degree at the NSA and IRS etc.

but

his white house is indeed secretive and he does a terrible job of telling the people what is going on.

it's like that classic poll - if you ask people if they like "obamacare", they generally don't.

If you ask them how they like the 'affordable care act' and tell them its details...they are pretty positive on it.

Same with overseas, I'd expect - people are criticizing obama but in general I think they would agree with his actions, one by one.

Strange president, this one. But generally a good one.

Oh, dummbass. Your muslim hypocrite called Bush un-patriotic when 3 trillion was added to the debt caused by 9/11 and the start of the wars. Now obama adds 8 trillion with payouts to ACORN, failed green energy and just overall be a corrupt president and you nor the media call him out?No sadly, your culture knows no shame.

FYI your claim that loans to green energy were a failure is doubleplus wrong - the program was a success in that it supported new businesses AND it is making good money for the government. What exactly are you complaining about? if a republican came up with the plan you would be praising it to the (bluer) skies:

We now know that the Republican arguments had it backwards. Bloomberg News reported yesterday:

The U.S. government expects to earn $5 billion to $6 billion from the renewable-energy loan program that funded flops including Solyndra LLC, supporting President Barack Obama’s decision to back low-carbon technologies.

The Department of Energy has disbursed about half of $32.4 billion allocated to spur innovation, and the expected return will be detailed in a report due to be released as soon as tomorrow, according to an official who helped put together the data.

The results contradict the widely held view that the U.S. has wasted taxpayer money funding failures including Solyndra, which closed its doors in 2011 after receiving $528 million in government backing.

This is no small revelation. Much of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign was based on the assumption that the Department of Energy’s loan program was a spectacular failure. Even now, Republicans continue to point to this program as obvious proof of why it’s a mistake for Washington to invest in the clean-energy sector at all.

But Obama’s program didn’t fail at all – the loans not only bolstered the renewable-energy industry, it secured a handsome profit for you, me, and every other American taxpayer.

Michael Morosi, an analyst at Jetstream Capital LLC, which invests in renewable energy, told Bloomberg News, “People make a big deal about Solyndra and everything, but there’s a lot of VC capital that got torched right alongside the DOE capital. A positive return over 20 years in cleantech? That’s not a bad outcome.”

Quite right. In fact, it suggests Republicans had it exactly backwards – the Obama administration was extremely effective in making these investments.

Oh? That's not what Rush said.

What?!!!?

Obama has consistently estranged our allies in the Middle East and sided with the Muslim Brotherhood. Today Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia stand on one side with Iran and the US on the other side. He cuddles with the terrorist supporters in Qatar but refuses to talk with Netanyahu. He even urged the EU to let the Islamist Erdogan's Turkey into the union.

Obama has been a catastrophe for our former allies.

Isn't a proven fact that Obama is a white hating black supremacist racist muslim

Think of it like this - if you ask these questions, I think most Americans would support Obama's decisions:

1) should coalitiion airpower be used to roust out international terrorist supporter Gaddhafi?

2) Should the US invade Syria to end the civil war?

3) Should the US be a one man world police force like under Bush, or should the US encourage allies to cooperate in activities, both military and diplomatic?

4) If an ally openly repudiates longtime US policy as Netanyahu did, should the US register the slap on the face or just take it? (clue: if France had done what Netanyahu did, republicans would be out for blood - organizing boycotts, renaming foods, etc)

5) Re; Iran: Should the US first gather an international coalition, organize an effective sanctions regime and then approach the negotiating table in a position of strength...or should the US go to war again as a first option?

6) Siding with the Muslim Brotherhood? heck, I agreed with the USSR on some issues - like the need to kill Nazis and a general acknowledgement of social justice being important...doesn't make me a psychopathic, murduring communist tyrant. Maybe you can cite some ways BHO has supported the MBrotherhood.

and what does 'refuse to speak to netanyahu' mean? Obama waited a day or two to register his ticked-offness, then called. I'd love a good argument, but pls stick to the facts.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/03/19/obama-calls-netanyahu-to-congratulate-him-on-israeli-election/

President Obama called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to congratulate him on winning his country's election Tuesday.

The president phoned Netanyahu to congratulate "his party’s success in winning a plurality of Knesset seats," according to a White House statement.

6/10 for dusting off SOLYNDRA!!!

+1

In addition, Obama...

-- has overseen a decent recovery of the economy

-- introduced sensible legislation to prevent wall st from going bonkers again. despite cries from the opposition, the sky has not fallen, and the indexes are way up.

-- caught bin laden

-- massively has upper hand vs. russia without firing a single shot

-- is beginning to end outdated, useless embargo on cuba

-- has successfully pivoted FP toward asia, with countries like vietnam (yes, vietnam!) preferring to associate more with the USA than the chinese.

-- expanded healthcare coverage to more americans (agree obamacare is a half-arsed mess, but "more insured" is a step forward over status quo)

The biggest thing that Obama has botched is the handling of the NSA leaks/Snowden. That's really my biggest gripe. Snowden is a patriot of highest order.
