And Obama again proves that only gullible, stupid people vote for him.

Posted on the pomposity that is the site of the "Office of the President Elect" it says this:
Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process.
That, as is just about everything else about Barack Obama, is chock full of manure. It is as phony as he is.
Baack Obama promised to protect whistleblowers and instead has done absolutely the opposite. This must have come as quite a shock to the liberal media. Tears likely washed on the fingers of Jane Mayer as she wrote:
When President Barack Obama took office, in 2009, he championed the cause of government transparency, and spoke admiringly of whistle-blowers, whom he described as “often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government.” But the Obama Administration has pursued leak prosecutions with a surprising relentlessness. Including the Drake case, it has been using the Espionage Act to press criminal charges in five alleged instances of national-security leaks—more such prosecutions than have occurred in all previous Administrations combined. The Drake case is one of two that Obama’s Justice Department has carried over from the Bush years.Gabriel Schoenfeld, a conservative political scientist at the Hudson Institute, who, in his book “Necessary Secrets” (2010), argues for more stringent protection of classified information, says, “Ironically, Obama has presided over the most draconian crackdown on leaks in our history—even more so than Nixon.”
"More than Nixon"
In the Atlantic Wire John Hudson writes:
The Justice Department's subpoena of New York Times reporter James Risen Monday was the latest sign of how aggressive the Obama administration is being in its campaign against government whistle-blowers. The purpose of Risen's subpoena is to force him to testify that Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA agent, gave him confidential information about the CIA's efforts to sabotage Iran's nuclear program. The extent to which the administration is prosecuting leakers has troubled those who see leakers as speakers of truth to power. "In President Obama’s 26 months in office, civilian and military prosecutors have charged five people in cases involving leaking information, more than all previous presidents combined," reports the Times. Here's a list of prominent leakers with various agendas currently under pressure from the government.
Obama's war on whistleblowers also includes those who would tell us the truth about Fast and Furious:
Senator Grassley pointed out that the documents DOJ released to smear Dodson were actually supposed to be so sensitive that the DOJ wouldn’t provide them to congressional investigators. But then, to harm a whistleblower, someone from the DOJ provided these specifically selected documents to the press. In fact, the name of the criminal suspect in the documents was redacted, but Agent Dodson’s name was left for all to see. “This looks like a clear and intentional violation of the Privacy Act as well as an attempt at whistleblower retaliation,” said Grassley.
Now Obama trains his sights on those who would uncover the biggest fraud of our times- climate change. Obama is joining the British government in trying to identify the leaker of the climtategate emails. Christopher Horner in the Washington Examiner:

I wish someone had the spine to begin articles of impeachment against this marxist tyrant before he does further damage.
The destruction he has done so far is bad enough, I shudder to think of what he has planned before election 2012. I pray to God he is impeached before he can do more harm.
No one wants to or will touch that RACIST idea of impeachment, (as much as I would like to see it happen as well).
WRONG... The America people themselves elected and wanted a monster..
They now have one.. as planned..
Funny thing happens when you elect democrats they take over the schools and dumb your kids way down..
After a couple of decades the country becomes extremely dumb..
They don’t even know what socialism is.. and think its “social” so it must be beneficial..
Begin to think a gov’t job is a job and not cost vector..
You know... a cost vector meaning IT COSTs MONEY and doesnt MAKE MONEY..
They begin to think democracy is a good thing not a bad evil filthy thing..
Cause democracy was, is now, and will always be Mob Rule by mobsters..
America does not know that anymore..
Sooooo they elected a Marxist neer do well as President..
thats very probably not even an American.. pity..
This communists rat, with the advice of his communists regime, just stays above the law to eliminate grounds for impeachment. And he has bought at least one third of American voters to make upsetting him next election almost impossible. America has been let down by Americans, I know that is hard to believe.
I called Biden "impeachment insurance" on the day he was named Obama's running mate.
Impeaching him will only increase his popularity. We are saddled with a nation of idiots designed specifically by the global Marxist movement to be useful to their enterprises.
We have been let down by other blind and ignorant americans that refuse to see how evil he is, all they fear is the color of his skin, not his socialism. They are more afraid of being called racist. They seem to forget he is half white (although he has forgotten that small fact himself).
I forgot about plugs being next in line. I’m surprised he can walk and talk at the same time.
"Become"? I never saw him any other way.
Where were they in ‘08 when a certain kenyan should’ve been exposed?
Wrong. He has broken the law on numerous occasions. We just don’t have anyone that will call him on it and begin the proceedings. We can not afford to wait much longer.
and you were right, yet the blackness is another factor, no one will touch that one. Pretty good insurance, and we call him DUMB?? lol.
Country gets a leader it DESERVES
So what are we to conclude by this...that the White House chef didn't put enough brown sugar on the Creme Brulee, so POTUS has suddenly lost all regard for liberty and the Constitution?
Give me a freaking break! Hitler used to read poetry and paint pictures, too. But he “became a monster” because he'd been a monster all his life. All he was missing prior to the 1940s was opportunity and power.
Heil, Obummer!
Barack Obama occasionally interrupts his golf games to sign what he is told to sign, or read something off of a teleprompter.
His indifference and enjoyment of being a part of destroying America is monstrous, but it's hardly new.
Obama is the paint on the front of a MACHINE.
A machine with one terrible purpose, which you see growing all around you.
And the saddest thing of all is that it is run by tens of millions of people who actually believe that it will spare them and their families, despite the horrific and repeated historical proof that it will do no such thing - and was never intended to do any such thing.
In fact, their own masters laugh at them every single day.
