So, let me get this straight, the Nordyke twins (born in HI the DAY AFTER OBAMA) have made copies of their long form birth certificates available for the WORLD to see, but Obama, who has issued the following statement proclaiming “transparency” and “openness” INSISTS that he (having the most powerful position on earth) maintain SEALED documents regarding his identity, place of birth and the parents listed on his BC. Here’s his quote:
“My (Obama’s) Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness (’open’ is antithesis of ‘hidden’), as in birth records, passports, medical history, college records, etc.) in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, (transparency - as in being able to SEE a ‘real’ birth certificate, for example ) public participation, and collaboration. Openness (Translated CONCEALMENT in Democratic dictionary) will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government. Government should be transparent (translated ‘secretive, hidden’ ). Transparency (well, yes, TRUE transparency) promotes accountability and provides information for citizens (hmmm...interesting phrase-PROVIDE INFORMATION TO CITIZENS ! ) about what their Government is doing. Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset. My Administration will take appropriate action, consistent with law and policy, to disclose (disclose - reveal, show, hmmm....interesting word ?) information rapidly (RAPIDLY -Hmmm....We’ve only been asking for the BC for a YEAR now ! ) in forms that the public can readily find (well, kinda hard for the “public” to READILY FIND ‘ANYTHING’ when it’s all HIDDEN and SEALED -— hellooooo????) and use.
“DISCLOSE INFORMATION, OPENNESS, TRANSPARENCY. PROVIDE INFORMATION TO CITIZENS”
Let’s see -— aforementioned docs are SEALED (that is, NOT disclosed, in case you have trouble with the English language) by court orders and your ‘defending’ this outright hypocrisy ... do the words “check up from the neck up” ring a bell ?
He promised transparency, and he's not giving it.
Only a fool would have believed that he would do so.
I can't say I'm surprised, but that doesn't change anything.
