Barack…is this transparency?

I was told that the current presidency was suppossed to be the most open and transparent ever, especially after the “evil” Bush Administration, with their “secrets” and “Haliburton” left.

Apparently it is not meant to be, Obama will not let anyone talk to the media, and when they do talk to the media nothing is said. Actually the media is given a list of questions that they can ask before any press conference, and if a member of the press strays from the script they are not invited back.

That is the nearest thing to a dictatorship that we have seen in awhile, at least that is what the media would say if Bush were doing it.

I could only hope that the media will come to their senses and start beating the war drums against Obama to keep to his promises, but that probably won’t happen

I think what makes even even closer to a dictatorship is Obama’s support for warrantless wiretapping. I mean seriously, that’s such a huge violation of civil rights that it actually scares me. Check it out:

I don’t know whats more disturbing whether he supported it in the vote, or whether he campaigned against it and voted for it in the Senate
