WH refuses to hand over the visitor list..... after all, didn't he say he was going to be MORE transparent than other administrations? Bull!! That man told so many lies on his campaign trail....
Considering I pay for that big 'ol house he lives in, and he preached transparency, then why not hand over the visitor list. Actually, the U.S. citizens are supposed to have it given to us without asking. And for those of you who will once again find excuses for this man.... NO, he does not have a reason not to, except as usual he has been seeing people he shouldn't be around and people that no doubt would expose him for what he is...

Transparency......
Our government is supposed to be transparent to the US citizens. Where is that? They now say an agreement has been reached. Well, I want to see the paperwork, boys!! It's our money; we have EVERY right to see it in writing. Let the people see it. Put it online. It's simple. When they REALLY figure out the trillions we will be paying, not 700 billion (what a joke), they should establish the amount, post it online or mail it to every citizen in this country, show every time they make a payment to that account, so on and so forth, until the last payment has been made ONLY to that account, so you will see the money has not somehow once again found its way to some "museum in a cornfield, study to see how hippos mate, where fireflies go at night", and every other conceivable idiotic way they have abused your taxes.
After all, it's not their money.
And this is Transparency???...
If I remember right when Hillary went on the Letterman show she gave him a list of questions he could ask. I guess that happened on many occasions. Now the fellow who was going to have a transparent administration is already shutting down communications with the American people.
Nothing like a little secrecy or putting the fix in the media to encourage trust.

Sun-Times: Journalists Being Shut Out by Obama
By Warner Todd Huston (Bio | Archive)
January 12, 2009 - 21:43 ET
According to Sun-Times columnist and long-time Chicago journalist, Carol Marin, journalists at Barack Obama news conferences have come to realize that Obama has pre-picked those journalists whom he will allow to ask him questions at the conference and many of them now "don't even bother raising" their hands to be called upon.
One wonders why journalists are allowing this corralling of the press? Would they have allowed George W. Bush to pre-pick journalists like that? Would they meekly sit by and allow themselves to be systematically ignored, their freedom to ask questions silenced by any Republican? Would journalists so eagerly vie with one another for the favor of Bush like they are Obama's? |

No, the issue of transparency with earmarks did not escape me
but his reasoning was, at times, questionable. It appears as though he is going to take the money and run unlike some of his compatriots who are "attempting" to refuse stimulus money.
Earmarks Include:
- Add-ons. If the Administration asks for $100 million for formula grants, for example, and Congress provides $110 million and places restrictions (such as site-specific locations) on the additional $10 million, the additional $10 million is counted as an earmark.
- Carve-outs. If the Administration asks for $100 million and Congress provides $100 million but places restrictions on some portion of the funding, the restricted portion is counted as an earmark.
- Funding provisions that do not name a recipient, but are so specific that only one recipient can qualify for funding.
So much for transparency. Treasury refuses to give bank bailout information.
This again from the McClatchy news group, which is not conservative by any means:

Working your butt off
Is never having a day off because during the week you MT part time and take classes AND teach youth group and then you have a second account on the weekend.
I'd love to have kids but I'm not going to right now BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD IT and I don't expect anyone else to pay for them! It's called being RESPONSIBLE.
Think before you speak.
Republicans, my butt!
That's what we call a RINO. I endorse neither of them. Both of their wives are mega-libs, & they're no different. Genuine Republicans don't want them in our party, either.
If she had tightened her butt up any more, she

Mixed butt? ...(sm)
That was just pitiful.
O'Reilly is a SELF-PROCLAIMED traditionalist, not an independent. Look it up.
Yup. The Old Dude got his butt kicked.
maybe he was looking around for someone to rescue him.
The eye-rolling was a little much, as well. Somehow I can't see that affect going over real well when talking to heads of state worldwide.
if you don't want to answer my question, would you please BUTT OFF

slap my butt and call me

I work my butt off and don't want handouts -
Voting for Obama does not mean I want anyone to give me anything. I have never asked for anything and don't intend to start taking anything.
You can quit kissing butt now
we get the point.
Geez.
Oh yes I have kissed Sam's butt all the time
How about further down where I defended Gourdpainter? I blindly follow no one, and GP and I have agreed and disagreed on a lot.
I'm not the one who views my candidate as the messiah and his supporters as the angels.
Nobody asked you to butt out of the conversation.
You are being asked to respect the SEPARATION between the politics board and the faith board. If all you have to offer is religious in nature, your post does not belong here.
This breaking news just in....religion and politics are only as "intricately intertwined" as the secular among us allow it to be. There seems to be a consensus in America as there is in other western nations that the two do not mix well and certainly are not conducive to democratic process. I am neither atheist, agnostic or Christian, but I do consider myself to be a spiritual person of Universalist faith. I count myself among the secular citizens who will fight tooth and nail to keep religion out of politics and out of the government. There is a place for it in our society and in our lives...churches, synagogues, mosques, temples our homes and in our psyches. Why is that not enough for the theocrats? This constant push to pervade is a REAL LIVE BUMMER. Cease and desist, won't you?
Get your head out of O's butt and pay attention!!

Don't mean to butt in but the above message you posted is
exactly what IMHO is talking about. I've seen plenty of your nasty messages and after this one (which is one of your calmest messages), I haven't opened or read your messages for over a week or so.
Name-calling and nastiness is not allowed on this board. If you can't adhere to the rules, you need to leave or at least at mature.
JMHO
I consider him a traitor and just out to save his own butt
He figures he can win on the Dem ticket because PA has turned Dem. Well, I have news for him.....I doubt it. He only won by a couple votes in the last election because of Pat Toomey running against him. He will definitely lose this election.
I always split my ticket and I usually voted for him, but no more. I don't care what party anyone is affiliated with; but, to me, he is a traitor and that's someone else who is not needed in the Senate.
To those who vote straight party, open your eyes. They are only out for themselves (but is that really news to anyone?)
As posters have said before, we have to educate the people who don't watch/investigate/read up on the candidates running to make sure we vote the best candidates for the job...those who value the constitution, listen to their constituents (which is hard), and vote for the good of the country. Get rid of the a-holes who are in there. We really need to clean house this coming election.,
WOW. I've even tried kicking myself in the butt for posting it...sm
It adds nothing to the debate, really, except sidetracking the issue at hand.
I hate to butt in but one story seen on the news and
really scared me was when Obama was in Germany and a German citizen stated, "He's the new Messiah." This was on the evening news when he was on his around the world blitz. He really had no reason to do all that traveling as if he was already the President. What was he trying to prove??? That he can charm the world? It won't work if he becomes President.
'Nuff said.
Your stick-up-your-butt rigidity and intolerance -
What goes around, comes around, and people who think with their retentive anuses instead of their minds, usually get what's coming to them in the end. So if that's the thinking and the politics you align with, then I'm just so very happy for you.
You've been spouting off for weeks with reams and reams of copied and linked material that you think was written by God himself. You criticise every post that suggests that the poster is of another party, or even that they are open to ideas other than YOURS.
And the REALLY sad thing is, you actually think that what you write actually MATTERS, and that people listen to what you say and think, and that they actually care. Well know what? Most people on here don't give a flying F_ _ K what you think.
It does not sound like someone who is working therir butt off to me. nm

Watch out, Marmann, here I come kissing your butt again! s/m
You are so right in your description of yellow jackets! Just a bunch of brainless aggressors that attack blindly and viciously. LOL
I am enjoying this very much and find it oh so entertaining! Mob mentality is the only fitting way to describe these people. I just haven't figured out if it's just mental defectiveness, self-loathing or just plain needing a good 'ole roll in the sheets!! 
Wow, usually people that work in the same industry find a common kinship and are very supportive of each other. Sadly, I don't feel any kinship with a lot of these people. In fact, I go out of my way to avoid people like this because their joy is killing other people's joy and that's a "disease" I just don't want to catch! Besides, I have a feeling that all the negative posts on this thread are all done by the same person. It must be awkward to be so socially inept.
I look forward to more posts by you and JTBB and, disturbingly, to the putrid spewing that will then ensue!!  Bring it own, bee-atches!
In realty I'm a guy dressed up like a girl, that's why I'm butt ugly.
