We encourage the Obama administration to pledge to answer reporters’ questions more quickly and with fewer scripted answers

he’s VERY open! Recently, he even won an openness award.

Of course, the award was awarding in secret.

Openness and secretiveness is like truth and lying. It is easy to always tell the truth because you need not hesitate - just say what you know. When lying, you always hesitate, to make sure you don’t slip up and let the cat out of the bag that you lie.

Similarly with openness... if you are virtuous, you can be open fluently. If you are secretive, you can feign openness but you cannot be so, because you are always on guard for any revealing mistakes that can indicate you are secretive.

While the Miami Toilet Paper talks about “openness in government”, they completely ignore the constant "lies" from OJerko.

To prove this I ask a simple question:
Has anyone ever heard a speech where he did not lie?

I haven't.

Mr. Ornstein and Limor: You ask the president for openness and write a very courteous letter directed to him. LOL. It was the press who covered up the truth about Obama while the rest of us tried to tell you the obvious that you chose to ignore. We were criticized as "mud slingers" and called "racists" when we tried to warn you and the country that he was an empty suit with a good used car salesman line. IT IS the media who STILL gives him a pass on every mistake and troubling fact about his background, his associates, his agenda, and his obvious disconnect from the people and this country. But you still continue to praise him, his sophomoric speeches, and the never ending, unwise decisions that he has made that have jeopardized our country and reduced our status in the eyes of the world.

Sure...openness would be nice...but let it come from the journalists first. Print what is really being done (and not done) by this impostor. Stop the hypnotized writers and commentators from repeating their outright lies and scams that got this incompetent fraud into the White House. Wake them to their incessant adoration that did not and still does not allow them to expose the reality of a president who was not and never will be qualified to run anything. So many of you are the culprits for falling for Obama's lies and now you can't even admit your own gullibility. Let's put the blame in the right place. Sure, Obama never intended to do or be what he said. But, you, the media, fell for it all...hook, line and sinker.

At first blush, this article may appear to be a criticism of Obama by a fellow traveler. It may even warm the cockles of our hearts to read this and other "slams" appearing more often now in the left-wing media.

However, the recent spate of outraged criticisms against their lord from Obama cult members are actually cries of personal anguish and disappointment more than anything else. They see more and more the feet of clay of their idol and it's destroying them.

They've invested so much of their hopes, fears, love, adoration, loyalty and slavish devotion in Obama that his increasing descent into being just a human instead of a divinity is almost impossible to bear.

We'll be seeing more of these scribblings of personal emotions disguised as stern critiques, chidings and scoldings as the president plungers lower in the polls.

We have to remember these "criticisms" are written in nervous sorrow, not true enlightened anger. Every failure of Obama is like a cold knife plunged into the heart of his cultists. Every slam against him by the leftist media is not a slam at all....between the lines they are heartwrenching pleas to him not to screw up.....because when he fails and falls, his slavish worshipers and true believers will fail and fall also....as will their passionate dreams of a socialist utopia on earth.
