The rest of the article:
Obama has on several occasions claimed to run the most transparent administration in U.S. history – an often-ridiculed assertion due to its unprecedented crackdown on leaks to the press and its withholding of documents relating to scandals, mass surveillance and policies such as assassinating U.S. citizens.

On Monday, Department of Justice leaders hailed Obama as a transparency pioneer at an event celebrating official openness.

“The president compared transparency to sunlight, laying the groundwork for what we celebrate today,” Melanie Pustay, director of the Justice Department’s Office of Information Policy, said at the event, before the announced change.

Of course Obama has no shame, and flaunts his hypocrisy like a sharp stick in the eye.

In this case...

“...it was issued during a week celebrating open access to government.

How can they make rules exempting themselves for FOIA laws. Can I exempt myself from laws I don’t like??

If he was on another ballot, I guarantee he would be elected again.

In the interest of smaller, simpler government, let me suggest they shorten the FOIA to just “FO”.

And no, it no longer means “Freedom Of”...

I wish people would wake up and realize why the DemocRATS always say: “We are going to be the most transparent administration ever”.

The answer is: They say that because they want you to assume the other guy WAS NOT TRANSPARENT. This accusation of hiding things is always heaped upon an outgoing admin; that is the goal. You know - don’t look at me - look over there.

The Clintons did it when they were elected; and then the Obamas did it too. SEEMS TO BE ONLY THE DemocRATS who make such a declaration. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Selah!

So, if you’re really expecting any DemocRAT to really be transparent; you haven’t been paying attention.

I'm not sure why people have trouble accepting Obola's transparency., I see right through him.

He's an America-hating tyrant who thinks the rules don't apply to him.

If the GOP were smart there’d be an FOIA bill on Obama’s desk next week. Let him veto it every month until he leaves.

The primary enabler to this (beyond his Majesty) are the progressive-activist judges. There are some that say that they need a lynching.

It is not the White Mosque that is transparent, it is the occupant that is transparent... except to those ‘moderate’ Dhimmicrats, RINOs and ‘journalists’ who refuse to see.
