Obama wins the most applause for putting senior aides in place whose primary job is better ethics and transparency in the federal government. The appointees include Norm Eisen, Obama’s Harvard Law School classmate and the administration’s ethics czar who is stationed in the White House Counsel’s office; Beth Noveck, the deputy chief technology officer who is leading the Open Government Initiative; and Vivek Kundra, the chief information officer.

Sorry, I forgot the "barf alert"

Except that he lies nonstop and spends other people’s money like a drunken sailor while putting in a minimum number of hours of work on a full-time salary while blaming everyone else and throwing others under the bus while actively seeking to destroy the nation from within.

But other than that, he’s great.

Obama has wielded the power of the White House to craft an executive order that limited lobbyist hires in his administration, push federal agencies to share more of their data with the public and begin releasing visitor records for the executive complex on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

the only truth here, is, he signed an executive order

Must be the same “ethic” outfits who believe that infanticide is OK if the baby is disabled or inconvenient to you.

“ethics watchdog groups”

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs

And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth

And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers’ trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I’m bound to go
Where there ain’t no snow
Where the rain don’t fall
The winds don’t blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

I really don’t know how this was written with a straight face. Seriously, over half his senior aids were tax cheats.

Really, is being a liar ethical? Or is being just a natural born sneak, cheat and liar have to be proved first?

The last sentence in the article says...

Don’t let the fact that you are being stroked take away your sober judgment. Let’s see what is accomplished,” McGehee said. “The taste of that nice wine may be great but don’t drink the whole bottle.”

Seems to me McGehee drank the whole case of wine!

“After the last eight years, it is refreshing to see a president, through his rhetoric and action, who understands the way that the system works is a problem. That just a great place to start with,” said Meredith McGehee, policy director for the Campaign Legal Center.

******

Meredith McGehee just lost any credibility she had!

Formerly Senior Vice President and Chief Lobbyist for Common Cause. McGehee has been recognized as one of the top nonprofit/grassroots lobbyists in Washington.

Prior to joining Common Cause, McGehee was Legislative Director for U.S. Representative Lane Evans of Illinois and a legislative aide to U.S. Representative Dante Fascell of Florida (both Democrats). She served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Niger, West Africa

She also serves as Program Director for Americans for Redistricting Reform, a coalition launched by the Legal Center. In addition, she is the principal of McGehee Strategies, which specializes in public interest advocacy campaigns. McGehee is the former President of the Alliance for Better Campaigns, a public interest group that sought to put meaning back into broadcasters’ statutory obligation to serve the public interest.

MCGEHEE STRATEGIES is led by Meredith McGehee, an experienced public policy strategist who has been recognized as one of the top public interest lobbyists in Washington, DC and has planned and managed a range of programs recognized for their effectiveness — often culminating in victories against great odds.

******

Can we please cut the crap with these so-called ‘non-partisan’ tax exempt groups when all they are doing is avoiding paying taxes!
