[Jacquerie]

Consider just some of the actions Obama has taken for which he has neither been queried nor offered an explanation. From cash for clunkers, to screwing GM bondholders, for appropriations of his own volition, gutting immigration laws, F&F, . . .

Presidents are responsible to the people.

Despots are not.

Government should be transparent. Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing. Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset. My Administration will take appropriate action, consistent with law and policy, to disclose information rapidly in forms that the public can readily find and use. Executive departments and agencies should harness new technologies to put information about their operations and decisions online and readily available to the public. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/TransparencyandOpenGovernment/
