Transparency?

Barack Obama and his Administration have already been caught suppressing a report that showed that Global Warming was abating (Click to See My Blog Entry: "The EPA Report Obama Doesn't Want You To See!").

Now, it appears that Obama wants to hide the real facts about how bad our economy is and how poorly his Stimulus Package has done so that the disclosure of that data doesn't impede the approval of his Health Care Reform bill(Click to See the Full Story: "White House putting off budget update"). Apparently, to show how "off base" he was on the economy and the effect of the stimulus might cause people to question his rosy claims about health care.

Then, there was the last report on the unemployment rate (Click to See My Blog Entry: "The Ripple Effect Of High Unemployment Going Higher"). Even though the number of unemployed was greater than expected, the explicit unemployment rate came in less than expected and that doesn't hardly make sense or compute. Don't forget that the agency responsible for reporting the unemployment rate, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, reports up through the Department of Labor; which, in turn, reports to Barack Obama.

From information either being suppressed or delayed, to some very questionable numbers, I can't trust anything being reported by this Administration. This, to me, isn't transparency. When the Stimulus Package was passed, we were told a pack of lies about how immediate and effective it would be. Now, 7 months later, it appears we were sold a very rosy pack of B.S. Now, we are getting all of the same kind of promises with regard to Obama's Health Care Reform and the supposed minimal costs for Cap and Trade. When is America going to wake up to the fictional and political Kabuki dance that this President seems to be so skilled at?
