Ok, here's the Obama-ite lauding lack of transparency thread

Post by JohnStOnge »

I don't see one yet. If I missed it it wouldn't be the first time. But there's lots of buzz out there right now about an "Obamacare Architect" talking about how a lack of transparency allowed the Affordable Care Act to pass; about how it would never have passed if the American People understood it. So here's the video of him saying it:

Here's his bio from MIT:

A key excerpt from his MIT bio:
During 2009-2010 he served as a technical consultant to the Obama Administration and worked with both the Administration and Congress to help craft the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Here's my opinion: This is Liberal/Progressive or whatever they're calling themselves at any particular time modus operandi. They think they know what's good of you and they will deceive you in a heartbeat "for your own good."
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Funny that "Deep Throat" and John Dean were heralded as heroes.

Obama has Gates, Panetta, NUMEROUS administration operatives, Dem. staffers, intel. community and high level Pentagon employees turned whistleblowers DAILY, yet the Dem response has been to PROSECUTE the VA whistleblower, DOD's Franz Gayl, CIA John Kiriakou, and on and on.

With a Republican Senate, the number of whistleblowers will rise exponentially.

I am predicting that Obama will survive the remainder of his term, but will become the first past President of the last century to be criminally prosecuted.
