White House Touts New Transparency Rules, As Watchdogs Decry Administration’s Poor FOIA Responses
CNS News ^ | 4/8/2010 | Fred Lucas

(CNSNews.com) – The White House on Wednesday touted new rules as another “historic milestone” in government transparency, even as transparency advocates criticized the Obama administration for its poor response in providing public records to taxpayers.

Federal departments and agencies – at the direction of the White House – released their “Open Government Plans” Wednesday, including data sets, many of which seem to promote President Obama’s policies.

These include: community health data from the Department of Health and Human Services with information on Medicare and Medicaid; more than 60 clean energy resources available from the Department of Energy; a forum for public recommendations to improve services from the Department of Veterans Affairs; and data about homelessness from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The Obamaloon and his minions are about as transparent as the t*rds that come out of his mouth. (And this is the most complimentary thing I can say about this giant piece of human excrement.)

“Soros has a very big initiative on ‘transparency and integrity’.”

Oh yeah, he’s big on that, except when it comes to himself, his nefarious associations and myriad shadow groups, et al. Maroon. Who appointed you the king of the world?

Soros is evil.

What is the point of rules they will never adhere to?

So.... the bottom line is that they will be ‘transparent’ about information that is already part of the public venue, and that no one would even think should be kept from the public.

In the meantime, they continue to hide Obama’s true background, and deny FOIA requests out the kazoo.
