According to King Barack, it's Bush's fault!

"The White House said the cleanup of FOIA regulations is consistent with court rulings that hold that the office is not subject to the transparency law."

Ahhh, so that's why his administration isn't "open and transparent." They are not "...subject to the transparency law."

However, the White HOuse Spokeswoman had this to say, "White House spokeswoman Brandi Hoffine said the administration remains committed "to work towards unprecedented openness in government."

And here I thought it was because he was unpatriotic and flaunting his hatred for the Constitution and the US.

I'm so glad that's cleared up. Now I can feel good about him leading our country.

LAGC was right all along. Obama is great! All hail Obama!

Yep, them shielding their emails from the Hildabeast. Her shit may not have been backed up but any of the ones she sent to King O probably are.

So they are "committed to work towards unprecedented openness in government"

Is that like being committed to helping children in need by posting on gunsnet how you think people should help children in need without actually doing anything personally to help children in need?

It would, probably, have the same results. Talk big, but don't back it up.

And, "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."

Before LAGC and Kad do this, I would like to point out that this started under President Bush. Was not happy with it then and am not happy about it now. Of course, Bush did not run on being more transparent than his predecessor.
