1.  The President was too busy solving the "failed economic policies of the Bush Administration" (despite objective analysis)

2.  The President is just one man, he cannot be held responsible for the actions of his staff

3.  His dog at it.

4.  That depends on how you define "transparency"  (H/T bill clinton).  We didnt say "WHEN" we would publish them...

5.  The number of documents in question is 70 percent less than what Bush failed to publish.  Obama is an improvment.

6.  "They WERE published!  They were in the Stimulus Bill, didnt you read it!?"

7.  You are not allowed to question the integrity of The Great Leader.  (psst, pass that guy's name onto the IRS)

8.  "The American People dont Care about these documents" (h/t Chuck Schumer)

9.  Asked for comment, the Obama Administration - currently on the road solving all of the pressing problems of the American People to create a more perfect union, responded, " the obama administration is commited to working hard on behalf of the American people, Suggestions to the contrary are being levied by 'Talk Radio' and are further proof that the lies and deception on our airwaves must be regulated."

..........etc.

the list could go on and on...there will be no shortage of excuses...that is for sure.   

During my AM surfing, I caught this at American Spectator in an article by Mark Hyman called Obama's Enemies List

This just jumped out at me:

In precedent-setting action, Obama moved his director of political affairs, a highly partisan post, from the Old Executive Office Building into the West Wing. Political operative Patrick Gaspard was given White House access not experienced by his predecessors. Obama official Shauna Daly, a non-lawyer and career opposition researcher described as a "partisan dirt-digger," was assigned to the White House counsel office. [HUH?]  The move signals not only a new low in partisan activities, but suggests the office assignment may be intended to hide Daly's political activities under the guise of the counsel's attorney-client privileges. 

How's that "new kind of politics" thing going, Mr. President?

I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows. -Bart Simpson

that the people that elected him can't or won't see how all of this is so dangereous.  It is only a matter of time before this secrecy and government control comes after them too.  I'm reminded of something I read in school I can't remember all of it.  It was written about Germany under Hitler the end of it stuck with me...."when they came for me there was noone left to speak out".  Not sure if that is word for word but it speaks to what happens when the government starts going after it's citizens i.e. President Obama going after Rush and all the calls for the "fairness Doctrine".  Just remember it's only a matter of time before they come for you.

After reading all of the comments here, there isn't much more one can add except to sum it up by saying that BO lied.  The MSM has been too busy basking in the glow of his halo to notice the horns that are growing underneath.

and lied and lied and still to this day is a chronic liar and Lord knows how many Americans will die because of him. I respect the office, just not the current holder.

By the way, I hope you have a left wingnut start your car for you.

Impunitas semper ad deteriora invitat.

A legitimate and worthwhile media would call this guy out for the fraud he is.  But we don't have a worthwhile media -except for that part of it which is now in danger of being silenced.

I have a friend who was forced to flee Poland during the height of the Solidarity movement.  She sees the porkulus bill, the attempt to silence talk-radio, and all the secret executive orders freeing terrorists, and the media's complicity with Mr. Soetero-Hussein, and she laments, "this is the Kremlin all over again."  

She is distraught and angry because she and her late husband (who spent a year in prison for opposing communism) fled to the USA for freedom only to see the same socialism they fought against for decades gradually, and now suddenly, become engrained here.

She told me that after the Communists took over it wasn't more than two or maybe up to five years that the vast majority of people opposed the regime - but by then it was too late - the people were powerless and it took over 50 years of struggle, hardship and death (and the trifecta of Reagan, John Paul II and Thatcher) to finally break shackles of socialism...

...and we, the sheeple, are voluntarily putting them on again....What a tragedy.

Instead of doing their jobs, they are cheeleading for "their side". The same situation could happen with a conservative President and a conservatively biased media, I've just never seen those two situations in my lifetime. The current media is 90% biased toward the left and we now have THE most liberal President in the whitehouse in 100 years (at least) or maybe EVER.

I don't even believe that Obama is Constitutionally eligible to hold the office. All data and appearences seem to point toward a Kenyan birth that was registered in Hawaii.

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

Alan Keyes / Sarah Palin - 2012

How do you figure out what Obama will do next? Just listen to what he has said before.

If he says he won't hire lobbiests, then he will hire lobbiests. 

If he says he will protect us from terrorists, expect him to hire a pro-terrrorist AG.

If he says he will fix the economy, expect him to hire a tax cheat and a failed CEO.

If he claims he will be transparent, expect opaqueness. 

This is so simple and typical of democrats, say something and do the opposite. In this respect Obama is very transparent.

Obama's trying to be transparent. Like his new website Recovery.org that tracks how the stimulus money is being spent and how many jobs are being created.

To attack him for not being transparent is like attacking Bush for not shredding the Constitution enough.
