Transparent Government—NOT!

President Obama ran for president with a pledge of transparency in government. He claimed that everything in his administration would be open for public inspection and discussion. It is obvious now that his campaign pledge was complete prevarication.  I have never experienced a more secret government in the United States.

The health care debacle has been drafted secretly, has been negotiated in private White House meetings amongst Democrats with no input from Republicans. If this is transparent government, then I’d hate to experience anything that is less so.

This is not a president of the people, but instead a president of the Democratic special interest groups. He has not lead this country towards reconciliation and bipartisanship, but instead to a time of more distrust and less cohesiveness.

Obama’s desire to pass a health care bill at all costs has led to Senators being bribed for their votes. Senator Nelson (D-NB) was offered to have all Medicaid payments covered by the federal government. This is normally a shared responsibility between the state and federal government. It is hard to see how this could be constitutional or how some other state would not sue over the issue. If one state is offered a deal like this, then all should be offered the same deal.

We need a new party in this country, or at the very least we need to boot out all the Democrats. It is perhaps the only way that they will learn that their arrogance does not pay.
