I know many who voted for Obama because he promised to involve the people in the legislative process by posting proposed legislation online for people to review. Is he a liar or a puppet with no control to live up to his promise?

It is posted online. Apparently you haven't checked. One minute, he's on televison too much, the next minute, he's not living up to his promise of transparancy. As usual, he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

You are apparently unaware of all the legislation passed and considered that was not posted online. You do know that the democrats held closed door meetings not open to republicans, right? If the proposed legislation and discussion is closed to republicans how could it be posted online for the public?

Hardly. He's damned because every time he opens his mouth he sticks his foot in it. Some of us can tell the difference between being on TV mouthing empty promises and campaign speeches, and transparency in government.

Okay, don't watch television. Go online and read the proposed legislation. some of us actually do.

Actions speak louder than words. Obama is all rhetoric. He is a liar who believes "the end justifies the means" as a Saul Alinsky radical. His t.v appearances in which he gives campaign lectures should not be confused with transparency. A transparent President does not lock out members of the minority party from WH meetings with the majority party on healthcare reform.

This post is the biggest heap of ass-backwards hogwash that i've read in a long time.

Government Transparency is an OBLIGATION. Not some fancy pie in the sky "hope we can do it..I'll try!!" proclamation.

Being on television giving hundreds of speeches has absolutely nothing to do with government transparency to the people.

Unbelievable. And even more unbelievable is that TwistTie the 6002 Gangsta Thug is a fan of your backwards philosophy.
