So Much for the Most Transparent Administration Ever

I have not heard much news lately, so I was late to hear this news. One day after Bridgegate was brought into the news, Obama called for a Federal Investigation. Un F'ing Believable!

4 Americans die at Benghazi and we STILL don't have a proper investigation. Human Beings die because of Fast and Furious and still no meaningful investigation. The IRS stalls peoples legitimate applications, and after months, a political cronie is assigned to investigate. On and on............

NOW, a bridge is slowed down one day and it rises to the level of a Federal Investigation? REALLY?

I have absolutely no trouble with a Federal Investigation over Bridgegate, but let's call it both ways BO! Let's also investigate some things that ALSO indicate political hacking, and some of them with DEATHLY results!

That same play was used by B.O. and nothing said about it. What I am referring to is when the D.C. attractions were closed to inflict pain to the people who may have planned months in advance, only to have their tours cancelled. That is the exact same thing as the GW bridge closing except it was dealt with in efficient manner as those behind it are swiftly excused from their job. That claim of his administration will be the most transparent were just words read that someone else wrote, and be dismissed as a campaign promise not fulfilled yet. Just like every other promise. You can keep your plan, and doctor, period.

Are you ok, Larry? Why don't you take a little break from the forum for a few days?

"So Much for the Most Transparent Administration Ever"

More like, "So Little" ...

In the past five years, there has been at least a half dozen or so major scandals, yet our chief executive knows nothing ... like Colonel Klink.

In the past five years, major campaign promises have been broken and not much more than a few crickets cherping from the media.

One of the greatest lies ever told ... period-- and the American people can keep that one.

Double our debt, America is no longer perceived as #1 globally, and the long list of foreign policy disasters unfold ... not to mention four dead Americans, but Hillary really does care.

Our consitutional scholar of a president, well, let's start with the 4th amendement down the tubes, and that's the tip of the iceberg.

What transparency ? What outrage by media ?

Good luck Larry finding any real "outrage" here. The cool-aid must be very tasty.

Yep... Obama personally ordered the New Jersey US Attorney to open an inquiry into the lane closures.....

How does he have the time, what with all the ego stoking he has to get to....

I think Christie will welcome Bridgegate as a respite from the new allegations revolving around his improper use of Federal relief for Hurricane Sandy....

I only suggested that you take a break because I noticed a pattern with you in which you become all agitated on some pet issue of yours, then you say or do something that causes you to be whacked with an infraction or a relatively brief ban. I thought that if you put the laptop away for awhile and took your dog for a walk, you would come back in a better frame of mind.

Paul,

I so appreciate your massive concern for my infraction count.

Too bad you will be unable to goad me into another infraction since that is your actual reason for such posts.

Larry,

If you look back at the circumstances leading up to your ban and multiple infractions over the last several months, you will see that I have virtually no involvement. I think that I've eased up on you quite a bit recently, as I'm not heartless and do have some concern about your health. If the concern is unfounded, so be it.

Speaking of Neil Young, I just downloaded an album of his which came out a few months ago called "Live at the Cellar Door" which is a recording of a performance of his at a small venue in 1970.
