"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts." John Locke
Talk is cheap, everyone knows that. It's easy for anyone to say anything and not not mean a word of it. Lying is a disturbing and can be a dangerous concept for those who wield great power. But what's even more disturbing is when someone says something knowing that it will be perceived one way yet, mean something else.
When Barack Hussein Obama was running for the President of The United States of America, he promised that his administration would be the most transparent ever. Everyone, well not everyone, assumed that meant that the press would have visible access to what was being done, the American people would be able to see the workings of the administration and there would be little opportunity for corruption. Basically we thought that the administration would be open to scrutiny.
That is not what this man meant at all. Barry has held fewer press conferences than his predecessor held in the same time period early in his administration, but that's not all. They've been very careful and guarded about what is filtered to the press. Granted this isn't a new thing and most administrations attempt to frame their image in the press, but this group has gone beyond that.
The way in which this administration governs is disturbing. Past administrations tried to frame the dialog in order to win the debate and therefore get the American people on their side. This administration, with their Party accomplices in Congress, don't even attempt to persuade the American electorate and have shown themselves quite willing to govern against the will of the very people they govern. The Health Care legislation is a prime example of this. It was forced through using parliamentary slight of hand, back room deals and political thuggery. The American people weren't even given a chance to read the bill. Nancy Pelosi even said that they had to pass it so we could see what was in it.
A new and more disturbing trend has developed recently. The administrations allies in the left wing "press" have come out and attacked those who have questioned the administration. The word sedition has been used against some vocal dissenters of Obama policy. This is beyond disturbing, this is downright frightening.
When Mr. Obama talked of transparency, he didn't mean that you would be able to see clearly. When something is transparent, you don't see it and I think that's what he meant. I wonder what he meant about post partisan?
