President Obama on Thursday hailed his administration for its transparency.
This is the most transparent administration in history, Obama said during a Google Plus Fireside Hangout.
I can document that this is the case, he continued. Every visitor that comes into the White House is now part of the public record. Every law we pass and every rule we implement we put online for everyone to see.
The president said this holds true even on the issue of the attack on a U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, a controversy which he said was driven by campaign politics and one that Congressional Republicans were clinging to even though theyve run out of questions. Benghazi is not a good example, Obama said. Weve had more testimony and more paper than ever before.
The president has also been criticized even by some liberals for his use of drones to target terrorist suspects abroad, some of whom have been U.S. citizens. Obama said there are a handful of issues, mostly surrounding national security, that require some confidentiality.
However, the president pledged to be open about how drones are used, saying the public will know the parameters around the program.
What I think is absolutely true is its not sufficient for citizens to just take my word for it that were doing the right thing, Obama said.
The president added that there are different policies on how drones are used abroad, compared to how theyre used in the United States.
I think theres never been a drone used on an American citizen on American soil, Obama said. We respect and have a whole bunch of safeguards into how we conduct counter-terrorism outside the United States ... the rules are different inside the United States.
Transparently criminal.
Transparently un-American. Yes.
BTW, clutter can be a good thing, my FRiend.
.
Yeah right, everything.. And I mean EVERYTHING about his past and his presidential records are under seal.
Soooooo transparent.
There hadn’t been agreement between both parties to allow an enemy agent foreigner to be Commander in Chief before.
Yep.
The Uniparty was a pre-requisite for the Obama Destructionism Admin.
That’s why the msm and others had worked so hard for so long to ensure we had no one except Uniparty to choose from. And that anyone outside the Uniparty was drummed out on bs charges and “scandals”.
Yes, they had us in a box voting endlessly for the open borders candidates D or R. either way we still lose our country.
I think it's gonna be and the Dims ain't going to like it at all.
He did not lie. Leftists truly believe that Reality is what they declare it to be. Reality is, after all, a mental construct.
Now that we are learning all about Obama’s FBI, CIA, State Dept., etc., his administration is getting more and more transparent all the time.
TOTAL BULL$HIT!
If this unmasking was so “routine” why did it take three and a half years for those bozos to say something.
BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ROUTINE.
Do they think we are as stupid as they are?
one that Congressional Republicans were clinging to even though theyve run out of questions.
And haven’t received any satisfactory answers.
