Can someone name an Administration that has been more transparent than this one?

[bluestateguy]

Please do. I'm all ears.

[IndianaGreen]

1. I think the word you were searching for was opaque, and not transparent

You are welcome.

[boppers]

14. So, that would be a no, you cannot name one?

You think this administration is more opaque than *'s?

[IndianaGreen]

25. Jimmy Carter was far more open than the liars that succeeded him

This Administration is only transparent in its broken promises and deceitfulness.

[boppers]

29. Carter didn't have internet sites, because they didn't exist at current scale.

..so it's not really fair to note that Obama's team has been blogging, building sites about projects, tweeeting, etc. other than to wonder if Carter *would* have done the same. Same with C-SPAN,

What did Carter do, that Obama hasn't done, that was more open?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. President Al Gore's

so transparent, that it was almost invisible.

after all, he did win.

[CakeGrrl]

3. Unrecs, but no answers. Interesting. n/t

[last1standing]

5. Yeah, because only one side does that, right?

Bias showing much?

:eyes:

[CakeGrrl]

7. You mean compared to your subsequent response to the OP?

:eyes: No bias there!

I do think it's interesting that at the time I posted, the thread was <0 when no one had offered an answer.

[last1standing]

9. I provided a real response with a more transparent administration.

You provided nothing but snark about unrecs. Nothing wrong with bias, just bias against people instead of policies. Learn the difference.

[CakeGrrl]

12. Whatevs.

Now you're just lapsing into lecturing and condescension. Oooh, "learn the difference". Big burn!

I get that a lot of you are pissed off, but insulting me and whomever else crosses your path around here isn't going to solve anything.

And if you think my initial comment was loaded with snark, you're quite ironic. Not to mention pretty darned sensitive.

[last1standing]

13. Awww! Did pointing out that you made a personal attack hurt your feelings?

I know you guys have such a "personal bond" with Obama that you think he's family but he really isn't. He's a public official and is therefore fair game for criticism. The posters at DU aren't. You attacked posters, I attacked a public official's record.

Once again, learn the difference.

Or just say "Whatevs" like a petulant teenager. Your choice.

:eyes:

[CakeGrrl]

19. Sorry, I won't fall for your fight bait, as hard as you try

And am not going to respond to the tired goading about "you guys" and "personal bonds with Obama". Wouldn't that be an attack on posters by making fun of those who aren't as angry with Obama as you? Hypocrite much?

You need to learn the difference before you overextend yourself to go on the attack. I'm outtie, duuuuude! :rofl:

[last1standing]

21. I'm just throwing back your attack. Strange you didn't notice that.

But I'm guessing you're not very perceptive. :shrug:

By the way, I also notice that no one is able to refute my statement that Carter's administration was more transparent than Obama's. Too bad all you could contribute to this thread was snark and personal insults. That kind of makes you look silly.

[last1standing]

4. Jimmy Carter's.

But then he had far less to hide.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. It would not surprise me. Times were different back then, I guess.

[sandnsea]

6. Why Bush's, clearly, doncha know n/t

[Truth2Tell]

8. Well, I guess that's good enough then.

As long Obama is even a teeny bit better than than what we had before, that's good enough for me. Why raise the bar to some kind of real standard? "Better than X" is enough.

[boppers]

17. Better than *everything* that came before?

You would dismiss that?

[Enrique]

10. we can't tell until someone tries investigating something

maybe we'll get an idea of Obama's transparency if Congress decides to look into AIG, etc.

[boppers]

15. Here ya go:

11. Is this Rahmbo? nt

[MannyGoldstein]

16. Any President Before Dim Son

What, specifically, has Rahmbama been unusually transparent about?

[Hippo_Tron]

18. The William Henry Harrison Administration was pretty transparent

[dkf]

20. Can you name an administration that made transparency a top priority?

[jgraz]

23. Can someone name an Administration that has been more mauve than this one?

An equally meaningful question.

[TheKentuckian]

24. I wish it was secret as The Colonel's recipe if it was less concerned about blowing "stakeholders",

being corporate friendly, fighting "The War on Terror" by going to random places and creating insurgencies (aka know as motherfuckers who weren't thinking shit about you till you popped in to occupy their country and know they want to give you the ole bum's rush) to kill our troops for no real reason, and didn't maintain an unconstitutional army of the Executive.

More secrets and less kinder, gentler, hipper Poppy would be fine with me.

Sorry to be snarky, it's a good thing and definitely part of what I was voting for but I'd assume be more disappointed here and happier about getting a leash on the corporate communist coming for our last nickles so they can gamble them and win big or make us pay the bookie if things don't work out.

[boppers]

30. I'm sorry, but I didn't understand this:

"Sorry to be snarky, it's a good thing and definitely part of what I was voting for but I'd assume be more disappointed here and happier about getting a leash on the corporate communist coming for our last nickles so they can gamble them and win big or make us pay the bookie if things don't work out."

What's a "corporate communist"?

Could you perhaps re-phrase that sentence?

[last1standing]

26. Talk about a hit and run thread...

If you're "all ears" why haven't you responded to a single comment? Easy answer, you never had any intention of doing so.

Flamebait from a flamebait artist.

FAIL!

[ima_sinnic]

27. another transparently idiotic OP bites the unrec bullet

are you a teaching asst in American Govt 101 testing one of your quiz questions or something?

or maybe some astroturfer testing talking points? FYI, this one isn't going over too well. better get with that ad agency to come up with some new meaningless slogans.

[SergeStorms]

28. It's a little hard to judge.......

seeing that President Obama has only served one year of his term. We don't have the luxury of comparing his entire first term to anyone yet.

So far? :shrug: I haven't been too impressed. I expected much more considering the campaign rhetoric that was bandied about.

[golfguru]

31. JFK n/t
