A story designed for you to either have a good laugh, or to shake your head in utter disbelief, or both. This administration is not in touch with reality.
"President Obama is “absolutely” the most transparent president in history, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Sunday after the White House received a letter from signed by a dozen top journalists’ groups complaining about the administration’s policies toward the media.
“There are a number of steps that we've taken to give people greater insight into what's happening at the White House,” Earnest said in an interview with CNN’s “Reliable Sources.”
The letter, signed by the Society of Professional Journalists and the Poynter Institute, among others, accuses the White House of "politically driven suppression of news and information about federal agencies."
It asks the president to create an ombudsman charged with enforcing his goal of government transparency, and asks Obama "issue a clear directive telling federal employees they're not only free to answer questions from reporters and the public, but actually encouraged to do so.”
“We believe that is one of the most important things you can do for the nation now, before the policies become even more entrenched,” the letter says.
Earnest said he is “definitely committed” to helping “the president live up to his commitment to be the most transparent president in history.”
Uh huh. The Obama admin is so not transparent it is even receiving criticism from members of its own news division.
"In January of 2014, former New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson described the Obama administration as “the most secretive White House she’s ever dealt with.”"

Irony is often misunderstood and confused with satirical or sarcastic, but this is a great example of irony: 0bama "White House press secretary Josh Earnest".

Yes and chances are, you probably voted for him, twice.
Some black folks are learning too late the truth that many of us non Kool-Aid drinkers warned them about.
Sooner or later your half-breed messiah will stick a shiv in your back. And that turned out to be prophetic.
Barack Hussein Obama doesn't care anything about black folks, not if they're American black folks.
...
Do American blacks show up on his radar? They say not and they voted in the 90 percentile for him with drooling anticipation.
But more than that failure, does anyone American feel they show up on his radar? He refuses to promote traditional Western values for any sector! His sole agenda has been to radicalize our Country by advancing the most subversive elements from within. Beyond that, he has worked internationally to promote radical Islamic revolutionaries wherever he can. These are people with absolutely no appreciation for Western values or Western heritage. Bringing these people the gift of "democracy" swiftly gives the radicals a totalitarian lock on their society as they crush any opposition.
It's true, the black community feels the pain of his policies, probably because they were the most hopeful and heavily invested. But honestly, if Obama HAD actually tried to do anything to "help" the black community it would have been to create more bureaucratic programs that were top-down first, which means he'd have created patronage positions with fat salaries, rewarding his partisan cronies who would administer programs, essentially dead end handouts of taxpayer monies. These type of programs ONLY create depression and more economic dependency. Obama is an enemy of creating self-help opportunities for the betterment of ANYONE!!!
Of the billions of "stimulus" dollars he has spent what has he accomplished? Hand outs of the taxpayer's money, crony dead end programs, instead of creating hands up opportunities. NOTHING about this man or his policies, has promoted the American dream that made this Country what it is, ...well .....what it was.
Let's hope we can get our Country back. But most of his advancements have come with a very high entrenchment and the road to "recovery" will be a huge battle reversing his top-down legacy.
