I disagreeEveryone, invite your congressmen and senators to monitor this sit, and the OSTP site. Let them see what's going on for themselves. It might just change a few hearts and minds when they see the censorship that goes on here, and there.

I disagreehttp://www.recovery.gov/ This is the website where you can allegedly track exactly what the stimulus package is doing to help in our economic recovery. If you look at it closely, no private sector jobs have been saved, or created, nor is there any mention of private sector hiring due to the stimulus package. Obama said earlier today that private sector businesses were saved, jobs were saved, and many private sector ...more »
This is the website where you can allegedly track exactly what the stimulus package is doing to help in our economic recovery. If you look at it closely, no private sector jobs have been saved, or created, nor is there any mention of private sector hiring due to the stimulus package.
Obama said earlier today that private sector businesses were saved, jobs were saved, and many private sector businesses did more hiring thanks to the stimulus package. Personally, I'd like to know where these private sector businesses are, and who they are. They're not listed at recovery.gov. Shouldn't they be? After all, they would qualify as successes. Where's the transparency here?
All I can see on recovery. gov is that the federal government is hiring, not private sector businesses. The private sector is the backbone of our country. Government hiring means nothing.

I disagreeObama said in remarks pertaining to the first stimulus package that a lot of businesses were saved, a lot of jobs were saved, and a lot of businesses hired more people due to the stimulus package. Tell us who these businesses are, Mr. Obama. You should be more than willing to realease their names if this is so true.

It would be a feather in your cap, and shoiw that you truly do believe in transparency. Or are you lying about these so called "facts" which is why you refuse to release their names?
The facts are businesses across the US are bracing for more layoffs to keep themselves afloat, unemployment, (which you said would be kept under 8% with the passage of the stimulus package) is at 9.4%, and more Americans are losing their jobs than here are americans gaining employment. To top it all off, the only true employment gains came from government hiring. You are a bald faced liar, and it's time the American people saw you for what you are: A communist thug who only knows about community organizing. Not even Rham Emanuel and his collection of dead fish can save you.

I disagreeI heard recently Obama was selling our secret stealth technology to the Chicoms. Government transparency doesn't include sharing secret technology with countries that don't exactly have our best interests in mind. This sale of stealth technology is treasonous, and is also a breach to our national security. This is an impeachable offense, since it has the potential to harm the lives of millions of Americans.

I disagreeWhat are the latest US military death toll numbers since Obama has become president? From what I've heard lately on the news, terrorist attacks against US troops, and Iraqi and Afghani civilians have increased significantly. Yet we never get a body count from the state controlled media like we did when Bush was president. Why not? Is it different now that Obama is president? Does the news media think it will make Obama ...more »
What are the latest US military death toll numbers since Obama has become president? From what I've heard lately on the news, terrorist attacks against US troops, and Iraqi and Afghani civilians have increased significantly. Yet we never get a body count from the state controlled media like we did when Bush was president. Why not? Is it different now that Obama is president? Does the news media think it will make Obama totally unpopular to report the latest number of American casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan? Is that why we're not hearing anything?
Obama is now in charge, and if his apology tour, or his policies are causing more US troops to lose their lives, then we have a right to know, just like we had a right when Bush was president. Remember when we hit 1,000 casualties in Iraq? Democrats fought each other over who would get to the microphone first to tell the nation. Now you don't hear one peep out of a Democrat about US casualties. Not even John Murtha has said anything, and he believes the US military is broken. Or does he now believe Obama fixed it?
Iraq and Afghanistan have now become the sole responsibility of Obama and the Democrat party. They are responsible for keeping the people informed on what's going on over there, even if it's bad news. That's a part of transparency. They can't claim Bush is responsible any more, nor can they blame Bush for any more combat deaths since they've altered what they call Bush's failed policies. It is now their policies that are in effect.
Where's the concern? Where's the transparency they chided Bush didn't have?

Why not kill two birds with one stone? Why not force our congress men and women to wear congress cams? If they refuse, they are thrown out of Congress.
Forcing them to wear congress cams would allow us to know exactly when they did something corrupt since they would be compelled to wear the cams 24/7. We could even turn it into a new reality TV show. We could call it Beltway Survivor. Every month viewers would get to vote on the most corrupt person in Congress, forcing the "winners" to leave the hallowed halls of Congress forever on an all expenses paid two year vacation to the federal prison of the viewer's choice.
A new special election could be held to replace the departing corrupt sociopath. The newcommer would be allowed to serve the remainder of the departing Congressional member's term with immunity from the cam. If he is re-elected to serve a congressional term of his own, then he (or she) has to wear the cam. At the end of a four year cycle, the least corrupt senators and congressmen will become elligible to run for the office of the president.
This would be a good way to avoid a network blitz of sleazy campaign ads and meaningless debates and primaries. Who really expects any of our congressmen or senators to be as pure as the wind driven snow?

I disagreeThis site was developed so we could leave our ideas on what would make a better, more transparent government. I only have one thing to say to that. True transparency has to start from the top down, not the bottom up. To this government, we are all bottom feeders. Do our thoughts and our ideas really matter to them? Or are they just something for all of us to do, like bread and circuses? An innocent distraction, perhaps? ...more »
This site was developed so we could leave our ideas on what would make a better, more transparent government. I only have one thing to say to that. True transparency has to start from the top down, not the bottom up.
To this government, we are all bottom feeders. Do our thoughts and our ideas really matter to them? Or are they just something for all of us to do, like bread and circuses? An innocent distraction, perhaps? What is the real purpose here? I can see most of what is written here by all of us, np matter who we are, falling on deaf ears.
Like I said, true transparency starts from the top down, not the bottom up. Why can't Barack Obama, if he really believes in transparency, produce his real long form birth certificate? It would put an end to so many questions, and so much speculation.
There are a number of suits still pending on the issue of Mr. Obama's birth certificate. they're not going away, and each one raises more questions about his elligibility to serve. Mr Obama is a servant of the people, not the other way around. It is his responsibility and his duty to answer all questions and end all doubt about himself. If Mr. Obama can't be transparent, then his entire administration will become a farce.

More and more people are steadily losing their jobs. More and more people are steadily exhausting their unemployment benefits. We were fear mongered into believing these things wouldn't happen.
Obama, I'm calling you out. You, sir, are a LIAR!!! You, sir, are a bigger lying weasel than Chris Dodd, because you, sir, played on our fears! You, sir, have betrayed the people who voted for you! You, sir, need to set things right, and recall the balance of the unused Stimulousy Package before the Chinese decide to march in and claim ownership of everything in America, including Michelle's shoe collection.
The only jobs the Stimulousy Package created was more opening for ACORN. ACORN's unemployment rate is the only one that's under 9%!!!
RECALL THE STIMULOUSY PACKAGE!!!

I disagreeNancy Pelosi was caught lying to Congress. Lying to Congress is a criminal offense. Lying is also part of the culture of corruption Nancy pelosi swore she would personally clean up in Washington.
Since Nancy Pelosi willfully participated in her own little "culture of corruption", she needs to go, to set an example to other members of Congress that if you break the law, you suffer the consequences.

What do Muslim countries use their oil revenues for? We know the saudis actually helped fund al Qaeda with some of theirs! Most Muslim countries are totalitarian regimes that opress their own people. yet you want to send these totalitarian regimes our counterfeit tax dollars, so they can opress their people even more with America's blessings?
Sir, what kind of an ignoramous are you?

Anyone notice during Obama's speech in Egypt, not once did his teleprompter tell him to honor our troops that were stationed in the Middle East, risking their lives to protect Muslim women and children?
During Obama's speech, three more US soldiers died in Iraq while doing their duty. He didn't even pause to reflect on their sacrifice, or ask the Muslim world to honor them for their sacrifice. Throughout every war, America has never asked anything of another country except a place to bury our dead. Mr. Obama's teleprompter forgets these things.
Instead, Mr. Obama's teleprompter would rather focus on the evil it thinks the US Military does, and grovel and apologize for it. The US Military deserves your praise, not just to its face, Mr. Obama, but also behind its back when you dare spew your silly words in a foreign country.

I am VERY upset over what this dolt, ignoramous, community organizing backstabber's teleprompter made him say about 911 while in Egypt. Once again, Obama's teleprompter makes it sound like it was OUR fault we were attacked, and that we had nothing to be angry or upset about.
Mr. Obama, did you watch those planes crash into the twin towers? Did you watch as people leapt to their deaths instead of opting to be burned to death? DID YOU WATCH THOSE TOWERS CAVE IN ON THEMSELVES, TAKING THE INNOCENT LIVES OF NEARLY 3,000 INNOCENT PEOPLE??? THEY WEREN'T ALL "HATEFUL" AMERICANS YOU SEEM TO WANT TO LAMBASTE AT EVERY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY!!! THEY CAME FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE!!! MORON!!!
My advice to you is get your damn teleprompter fixed. The taxpayers are paying for it to spew those ridiculous words. The least YOU could do is have some respect for the people who elected you. JACKASS!

Candidate Obama promised us more transparency in government. Candidate Obama promised us a chance to examine all legislation that came up for vote before Congress.
What happened to candidate Obama? He disappeared once he became elected Obama. All those promises seemed to disappear into thin air. I don't doubt Penn and Teller are still looking for them.
Obama broke his transparency promise through fear mongering when the Stimulousy Package came to the floor of the house for a vote. He swore we needed to pass it right away or else we'd all be wearing nothing but barrels the next day. The Stimulousy Package was passed, and no one knew for sure what was in it.
The omnibus bill came next, but that was blamed on the Bush administration, so transparency didn't matter there either. How many more bills and stupid laws are going to be passed without anyone getting to see what's inside them?
Obama was supposed to be different. He turned out to be the defender of the same old Beltway status quo. Screw unto others before they screw unto you seems to be the philosophy Obama now follows, along with his merry band of robbing hoods, also known as Democrats.
The American people are growing tired and restless with politics as usual. That's what the tea parties were about, not just taxes as some misguided dunderheads may think.

I disagreeIt's time the censorship dealing with Obama's birth certificate came to an end. You keep censoring those comments, and you're just going to add to the suspicion that Obama is hiding something. The more you censor, the more people you add to the side that questions Obama and his elligibility to be President. Or haven't you bright people who censor us thought of that angle?

Term limits are the only way to control corruption in Washington. Both political parties are corrupt, and both are drunk on the sweet nectar of power.
Democrats and Republicans have BOTH lost touch with the common man, and they've turned him into the forgotten man. Instead of representing our interests, they represent their own. They force stupid laws on us, and create ridiculous programs that they say are designed to help us. The programs they create do not really help anyone. When government intrudes into our personal lives, it can only make our lives worse.
Look at the Stimulousy Package, for instance. What real good has come of the stimulousy package? Can anyone name one shovel ready job the stimulousy package has created? Can anyone say the money went where it was truly needed? A nice chunk of it went to fund ACORN. was that really necessary? Does ACORN really do anything besides screw up whatever they touch?
Yes, we have trillions of dollars floating around in the Moronisphere somewhere that's only causing our grandchildren and great grandchildren to go deep into debt, even before they're born. I blame the people who voted in favor of this worthless bill, and not the President. He only signed it. Congress created it, and it's nothing but a boondoggle hanging around our necks for generations to come. It will be known as Obama's folly, because that's all it has become.
What we need are responsible lawmakers and representatives in Congress, and not the same old corrupt, lying weasels who would sell their own mother's wheel chair for a dime. It's time for term limits, and it's time for them NOW!
