—Obama is someone who (like Bush) prefers to place a great deal of power in the hands of a small number of White House aides with whom he feels especially comfortable. But that secrecy makes such a management style especially perilous. It’s often been noted that this administration has prosecuted more leakers, on national security grounds, than all previous administrations combined. The Obama administration is similarly vigilant about squelching leaks (deliberate or inadvertent) that might cause the president political harm. Some of this reflects a gradual evolution away from openness that’s taken place in Washington generally, as White Houses have learned to prize “message control” above all else.
"This is the most transparent administration in history, and I can document how that is the case -- everything from every visitor who comes into the White House is now part of the public record. That is something we changed. Every law that we pass, every rule that we implement we put online for everyone to see." - President Barack Obama
CBO Watch awarded Obama a transparency award in private. That was a clue this wasn't going well.
Then there were all the secret deals to get obamacare passed despite the promise of transparency by candidate Obama who wanted to shine the light on backroom deals so the American people could see and judge the ethics of the deals that go into passing legislation.
As for Obama being burned, don't count on that with the media propaganda machine running at top speed and the federal agencies at the beck and call to persecute political opposition.

The difference is that President Bush surrounded himself with EXPERTS who have real life experience in the private sector and government. Barack surrounds himself with unaccomplished academics. That is what happens when you never had a job and all your references are your faculty advisors from college.

Let's face it. More than half this country was duped by this guy and his campaign "promises". Those of us that didn't buy it hook, line and sinker were labeled haters, racists, backwards, etc.
The fact that the media is in his pocket is the sole reason this fraud is still continuing.
Secrets have a way of catching up, even to the best and yes even a Presidents lies can come back and haunt him.
Yes to above, half the Country who was duped by Obama, deserves to be duped by Obama, for putting all their eggs into one basket, and treating this basket, more special then others.
Thos of us who did not fall for the gosh damn lies, are not haters, racists, or backwards, we are not naive ignorant or stupid. We have a brain in our heads.
Whoa.......wait a second -- did Obama win a Nobel Prize for Transparency? lol
It's no "secret" that he is an epic failure. He has never accomplished anything meaningful in his life, and to think that he could step onto the biggest stage, under the brightest lights, and accomplish anything is ridiculous.
While there are still Obama apologists in the media, there are enough people in the media who have had their fill of his constant lying and childish behavior. I think we're going to see more of the media taking shots at Obama as time goes on.
Sadly, this does not change the fact that just about ALL of the media covered for him the last 5 years.

I don't think they'll change pace now. I really don't think we'll see them go against him.
Secrecy is the only way the Democrats stay in office. Once people find out what they are really up to, they're toast.
