More Obama Lies…Turns Out He Is Less Transparent & More Wiretap Happy Then His Predecessor

Loading

We are all soooooo shocked

On his first full day in office, President Barack Obama ordered federal officials to “usher in a new era of open government” and “act promptly” to make information public.

As Obama nears the end of his term, his administration hasn’t met those goals, failing to follow the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act, according to an analysis of open-government requests filed by Bloomberg News.

Nineteen of 20 cabinet-level agencies disobeyed the law requiring the disclosure of public information: The cost of travel by top officials. In all, just eight of the 57 federal agencies met Bloomberg’s request for those documents within the 20-day window required by the Act.

“When it comes to implementation of Obama’s wonderful transparency policy goals, especially FOIA policy in particular, there has been far more ‘talk the talk’ rather than ‘walk the walk,’” said Daniel Metcalfe, director of the Department of Justice’s office monitoring the government’s compliance with FOIA requests from 1981 to 2007.

Remember all the wailing from the left over Bush’s super-duper secret surveillance tactics in the United States. Are we hearing any now when it’s being reported that real-time monitoring of electronic communication inside our borders has climbed 60%….that’s SIX ZERO. This far surpassed the Bush era.

But no crying. No wailing. No screams of injustice.

We have a President who promised more transparency but instead is more secretive and less transparent then any other President.

We have a President who promised ch-ch-change but instead is wiretapping everybody and their grandmother.

What hypocrisy.

What? Comrade Obama uses more wire taps than the evil Bush? who would have thought such a thing from a benevolent hard left leaning, anti-American ideal President! I’m shocked, really shocked! Where is Inspector Reneau when one needs him?

The ACLU obtained documents from the federal government proving that real-time monitoring of electronic communications inside the U.S. has climbed 60 percent since 2009 and far surpasses monitoring under President Bush.
In fact, more people were subjected to pen register and trap and trace surveillance in the past two years than in the entire previous decade.

(ACLU’s bold above)

Since Obama has been president we have heard his making nicey-nicey with the TALIBAN, with IRAN and with HAMAS.
BUT we have also heard him go after ”enemies” like Fox News, the Koch Brothers, Sam Adleson, the people of ”fly-over country” who cling to Bibles and guns, Christians, Jews, Israel.

So, it is going to be very interesting if and when we learn who got tapped.

Didn’t UNIONS push lawmakers into guaranteeing LAYOFF notices would be sent a certain minimum number of days ahead of time?
Obama doesn’t give a crap about UNION MEMBERS…..only their donated money and their vote.

FRIDAY DOCUMENT DUMP:
Obama issued new guidance intended for defense contractors Friday afternoon, reiterating the administration’s position that the companies should not be issuing layoff notices over sequestration.
Obama told contractors that they would be compensated for legal costs if layoffs occur due to contract cancellations under sequestration — but only if the contractors follow the Labor guidance.
“The Obama Administration is cynically trying to skirt the WARN Act to keep the American people in the dark about this looming national security and fiscal crisis,” Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) said in a statement. “The president should insist that companies act in accordance with the clearly stated law and move forward with the layoff notices.”

Only about 10 million workers might lose their jobs, but Obama wants them all in the dark.
10 million voters, plus spouses, adult children and relatives.
It expands into well over 30 million potential Obama votes lost.
And that’s all he cares about.
The law can go down the crapper.
