Road To Serfdom

I've been waiting years for an open and honest presidential administration, and that's one thing President Barack Obama has promised to give us. In his first 100 days as president, has he given us real transparency? We have at least seen improved communication.
Obama's communication changes began on day one. On Inauguration Day, whitehouse.gov was completely replaced. The Bush White House site was abandoned, and a new site, similar to Obama's change.gov transition site, was installed. Communication is an Issue in President Obama's First 100 Days Washington, DC United States of America This site includes information, press releases, a blog, and a listing of executive orders, memoranda, and proclamations. However, it is lacking in opportunities for people to comment or otherwise take part in conversation (which change.gov did have).
We've also not seen any progress on a "Sunlight Before Signing" policy. Obama had earlier committed to posting any non-emergency legislation on whitehouse.gov for public review and comment for five days prior to his signing it. The only mention of this on the website is a February 6 blog post stating that the administration was still working on how to implement this.
The weekly presidential radio address has now become a weekly web address, via YouTube video (available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/weekly_address/). The President has been making other efforts to communicate with the people, including special press conferences, a speech before Congress about the economic situation, and an appearance on the Tonight Show.
In order to make the economic stimulus a transparent process, the Obama administration has set up recovery.gov. Here, the government posts information about how our stimulus money is being used.

Another insipid twit that has her 0bama signature panties on a little too tight.
Barry talks a lot. Doesn’t mean he says anything truthful.
