Obama Sued over Secrecy

 Obama Sued over Secrecy Jake Tapper reports:

The good-government group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, filed a lawsuit today to force the President Obama to share White House visitors logs with the public.

“We’re suing because the Obama Administration has made it clear that they are continuing the policies and practices of the Bush administration and claiming that White House visitors’ records are off limits to the public,” said Anne Weismann, chief counsel for CREW.

Nice more secrecy from the executive branch. Government assumes more control, we get less.

Wait a doggone minute. I thought “transparency” was the word of the year. Washington doesn’t even know how to spell the word TRANSPARENCY. It is just a word with no meaning in DC.

I want to know why ABC News is so biased when it comes to Obama. If it wasn’t for Fox News we would think our economy and the world was doing just great.

Our socialist health care system will have its czar, one of 32 Obama czars (and counting?). So what exactly is a czar, are they constitutional, who determines their pay and authority and who do they answer to (only the president?). Wikipedia says czar is a Slavic term with Bulgarian origins used to designate certain monarchs. The first ruler to adopt the title was Simeon I of Bulgaria. Originally, the title Czar (derived from Caesar) meant Emperor in the European medieval sense of the term, that is, a ruler who claims the same rank as a Roman emperor, with the approval of another emperor or a supreme ecclesiastical official (people do seem to worship Obama).
From Russian history it seems that the era of the czars really began with Ivan the Terrible and continued until the Russian revolution and the rise of socialism. Does that mean the US is entering the era of the czars as a precursor to the rise of socialism?
I think we need to be asking our senators and representatives just how far we are going to let Obama stretch this leash. He said the country wanted change, but is this what it voted for? Is this what our ancestors bled and died for? Wake up America!
