People like to take cheap shots at Obama about "transparency."

[Renew Deal]

And because of that, I posted this thread about the republicans threat to eliminate two important methods for the government to communicate: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=826214&mesg_id=826214

But for all the talk about transparency, the thread got no replies and 1 rec. Maybe people aren't so serious about the transparency issue after all.

[The Straight Story]

1. Maybe because folks expect that from repubs and they didn't promise to be transparent

16. Actually they did! They promised to post bills 3 days in advance of passage.

They didn't. They promised to hold open hearings. They don't. They promised not to allow too many amendments because it slows down the process. They lied. They promised to cite specific constitutional provisions for each piece of legislation proposed. Yeah, right.

So, now we have DUers who not only are uninformed, but are defending the Rethugs/Teabaggers now, simply out of hatred of the president?

WOW! Just WOW!!!

5. So you are saying any complaint about Obama not being transparent is a cheap shot? n/t

[Renew Deal]

7. No, I'm saying many of them are.

They usually come with a good amount of snark.

8. If snark then I agree not appropriate. But he has messed up a few times on that issue. n/t

11. Net Neutrality was one of the riders as well. The Rethugs/Teabaggers also promised to cite

the Constitution for every bill they introduce/pass.

Yeah, right. Too many Americans bought into their lies and voted them into office. The problem is that too many DUers are blaming Obama when it's the U.S. House, now dominated by a bunch of wingnuts, who are destroying this country.
