The Obama Administration is far from transparent unless you count windows caked with mud as transparent. He shuts out those who oppose him like Fox News and don't like hard questions that will force him to take a stand. His feet are firmly planted in Jello and his views are what others want him to have.
Take for instance his health care program. He wants to ridicule those who know it will mean too much government control of our health care. When he said if we don't make changes in the system, every person's health care will be in danger, he conveniently left out that he won't be affected because he will get the best health care available. When he said that people shouldn't fear that the government will end their private systems and was surprised that private systems were afraid of government care, he was like someone who ridiculed those who feared the 800 pound gorilla in the corner of the room. The government can over regulate the private systems and make them less affordable and make the government system appear to be better. But people tend to forget that veterans get government health care which often is worst than they would receive privately. But since it is free, they are willing to be treated by the system which often kills them.
Obama loves to appear on TV. But he won't appear on "Hannity" because he knows the questions will be too tough. He is basically a coward who fears to be exposed as incompetent. He won't even listen to those who want to help him and the nation. But as long as he wants to warp this nation into a socialistic nation and experience the worst depression ever experienced, he won't let the solutions that have worked in the past to work again.
Take his Iraq policy. For him to say he supports democracy and to remove our troops which are still needed there to sustain it encourages Iran to contemplate taking over Iraq and stealing democracy from the people. But he will never admit he made mistakes in his Iraq policy and goals and how he treats terrorists.
His energy policy will ruin our economy and make us less energy independent. Prices will go up and cost Americans well over a trillion dollars in added energy prices. People who can't afford them will be ruined and could riot. As the media finally recognizes Obama shouldn't have been elected and the people revolt, I expect blood in the streets and a tightening of control of the nation by Obama. he could become a dictator because he waid what he needed to say to get elected, and now that he has made it to the top, he no longer needs to honor his word. He can become the President we Conservatives feared he would become.
They say sunshine cleanses what it touches. It supposedly reveals truths that people want hidden and kills vampires. True transparency would drive a stake into the heart of Obama.
