The Obama White House’s war against leaks, and its penchant for secrecy and noted lack of transparency, are the worst “since the Nixon administration,” according to a major new study that relied on interviews from leading Washington reporters and news organization chiefs.

The report, released Thursday by the Committee to Project Journalists (CPJ), found that reporters from many renowned media outlets consider the Obama administration the most closed-off in recent memory, and that there is not “any precedent” for its often hostile relationship toward the press.

I suspect that the word ‘transparent’ has a different definition in the dictionaries in Kenya & Indonesia.

The outcome is still the same. I get that. I actually think Obama is the most corrupt in history.

What outcome? Obama resigns in the second year of his second term? I wish.

On the other hand, Nixon didn’t get elected by promising “the most transparent administration in history.”

In fact, Obama’s turned out to be the biggest sneak and liar in Anerica’s more than two hundred years.
