Barack Obama says the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court 'is transparent'

Tampa Bay Times...Politifact check ^ | 6/22/2013

Obama said that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court "is transparent." We don’t doubt that there are good reasons for secrecy at the court, but if you’re going to operate a mostly secret court, you also don’t get to crow about how "transparent" it is. The president can’t have his cake and eat it, too. We rate his claim Pants on Fire.

If this has been posted, feel free to delete...it's just so rare that Politifact tells the facts about a democrat without trying to hedge their opinion so not to give the "pants on fire" rating, I thought it was worth posting.

It is not that transparent, I am a lawyer and I have never once heard of it

"If people can't trust not only the executive branch but also don't trust Congress, and don't trust federal judges, to make sure that we're abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we're going to have some problems here."

The gauntlet has been thrown.

“Barack Obama says the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ‘is transparent’”

Barak Obama lies, too.

And he is a Democrat and everyone (Big Media) knows they ALWAYS tell the truth! (do I really need a sarcasm tag here?)

Here are 200 examples of Barack Obama’s lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, etc.

PolitiFact leans so far left that it is in constant danger of falling over.

If they are issuing such a scathing opinion of Obama, then he's in trouble. The only question is whether he will be able to hang on until is blows over.

The biggest mistake that Republicans can make is to let up on the pressure. Take a break during the summer if they want: no one is paying attention anyway. But, they should be making plans to build the crescendo with hearings on the IRS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, warrantless wiretapping, and anything else right up to the 2014 elections.

Obama thought he could gain control of the House in 2014, but if the Republicans play it right, they'll keep the House and win the Senate. The stage is already set: the moonbats will stay home out of disgust, and the conservatives will be outraged -- the opposite of 2012.

But, the job still won't be done. Democrats are already planning to nominate Shrillary, and the blood from Benghazi is all over her hands. If the Republicans bring forth every whistleblower they can find during the primary season, the PACs will do the rest: imagine commercials showing video from the aftermath of the attack with Shrillary shouting "what difference does it make!?".

For the credibility of any statement, I’d recommend avoiding starting the sentence with “Obama says”.

That was my point for posting it...it's politifact and they're calling Obama a liar. That's noteworthy to say the least.

Can’t they just put the scrolling TOTUS on a web page and let 0bama get back to his first Love and play basketball and golf all day?

trans=across, over

parent=head of children/countries

These people use this word oddly.

The most ignored words in the English language, except for comic relief, are, “Obama says.”
