Major agencies cited the exemption at least 70,779 times during the 2009 budget year, up from 47,395 times during President George W. Bush's final full budget year, according to annual reports filed by federal agencies. Obama was president for nine months in the 2009 period.

Sounds like they are working on it (but government moves slowly, no matter who's president)

Have you been keeping up with what is going on? This Administration has been far more transparent than any. Have you visited recovery.gov? and of course all the other websites the white house has set up. Has any President ever been this transparent and accessible before? The answer is NO. Has our Country had these types of financial troubles before, when cities and states are bankrupt? NO.

Do you actually believe these problems can be solved overnight? It took several months to find out the totality of the damage done, it will take years to clean this mess up and I am absolutely certain that no President can do it ALONE. We all need to take responsibly for our OWN LIVES and stop sitting around waiting for the Government to fix our lives for us!

Get out and get involved, find solutions.

and then he had the gall to say this on monday:

As Sunshine Week begins, I want to applaud everyone who has worked to increase transparency in government and recommit my administration to be the most open and transparent ever, an effort that will strengthen our democracy and ensure the public’s trust in their government. We came to Washington to change the way business was done, and part of that was making ourselves accountable to the American people by opening up our government.

We told you all that he was a fraud.

Now he has proven that we were all right.

He is a compulsive liar and fraud.

3 weeks ago he talked about how we can sit down and discuss this HC bill and it will be on Cspan. The same old lie he told while campaigning.

Well, he allowed the meeting to be on CSpan and now they are right back to having closed door discussions.

People are getting sick of this man lying every day.

I hope we can put enough pressure on him over time to get the idiot to just resign.

He is a lame duck anyway, so why steal our tax payer money for his paycheck.

It is just so clear, who the American People really did vote in. Can we get a REFUND?
