Transparency

[Dingo]

So Liberals and Conservatives....How is this new administrations transparency working out for you? God I love a promise.

Will Liberals ever get upset about what Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are doing?

Obama promised that bills would be posted so the average citizen would have an opportunity to read them before Congress voted....has this even happened once?

You mean transparency as in secretly adding legislation to bills at 3:00 am on a Friday, and then voting on it right away before the American people or the press even have a chance to look at it? Can't really blame the press for not doing their job when this Administration and Congress do end-runs around the weekly news cycles so they can hide their activities.

“When there’s a bill that ends up on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what’s in it before I sign it, so that you know what your government’s doing.” - Barack Obama, during the presidential campaign

...not that you'll be able to do anything about it, he's going to sign it regardless, but nice notion anyway, if he actually did it.

Supposedly now, the White House is promising that bills will be posted on line much earlier, so we'll have a chance to call our congressmen, but again, that's just a promise.

Roger...I am just wondering if anyone is ever going to hold these people accountable for their actions and words. Just like most Republican covered for President Bush, on most things not all, I see the Democrats rallying around this administration and defending everything so far.

So Democrats are you ever going to hold this administration to their word? Or do you only do that to Republicans?
