The White House's missing documents (Unannounced Executive Orders)

In his first weeks in office, President Barack Obama shut down his predecessor’s system for reviewing regulations, realigned and expanded two key White House policymaking bodies and extended economic sanctions against parties to the conflict in the African nation of Cote D’Ivoire.

Despite the intense scrutiny a president gets just after the inauguration, Obama managed to take all these actions with nary a mention from the White House press corps.

The moves escaped notice because they were never announced by the White House Press Office and were never placed on the White House web site.

They came to light only because the official paperwork was transmitted to the Federal Register, a dense daily compendium of regulatory actions and other formal notices prepared by the National Archives. They were published there several days after the fact.

A Politico review of Federal Register issuances since Obama took office found three executive orders, one presidential memorandum, one presidential notice, and one proclamation that went unannounced by the White House.

Saran Wrap is transparent, 44 isn’t!

[A message]

This is the new 0bama definition of transparency. Do it and don’t tell anyone.

[Jet Jaguar]

These are not the double secret executive orders I knew... BHO

[valkyry1]

Its no news that the MSM are zeros lapdogs

[o_zarkman44]

The screw up was letting that undocumented clown get elected.........

[TexasNative2000]

but it sounds like a terrible screw up on Zero’s part.

Hardly. Appointing cabinet members with tax issues is a screw up. This is intentional and deceitful by omission.

The idiot doesn’t know what he’s doing, or he’s just stoned.

[goodnesswins]

NOOO...EVERYTHING he does is DELIBERATE! Everything. He knows NO one (very few) read the Federal Register, and the fawning press will make excuses.

I vote for both. Did you see him at the dem retreat a couple of weeks ago? He looked stoned! (I grew up in the 60s, I know these things.....from observation of course)

[chuckles]

The scope is he is the most transparent liar we have ever had. He said everything would be visible, but EVERYTHING has been hidden and they say, its only been a couple of weeks, give him a break. This isn't something new he had to start up. All he had to do is keep it going, but he stopped it. Just like NOBODY read or even got to see the stimulus package, the largest expenditure in the world, but was required to vote for it. Also he said he would go line by line through each bill to cut out what didn't work. Needless to say, he didn't go line by line.

Yet, another screw up by O. Heaven help us.

[doc1019]

Give a child omnipotent powers and you get what you wished (voted) for.

[dr_lew]

My thought had been, “Everything he says is a lie.” But that doesn’t really cover it. The man himself is a lie.

[freekitty]

Sounds pretty much like the Clintons. It’s just like Obambi to put up websites stating they are for the public while ignoring important contents like facts that should be there. Along with the lies; we have a problem in Washington DC. A President with a very poor character and can not be trusted.

[cherry]

lets remember and remind others that barry dissed the Medal of Honor inaugural celebration, the first prez to ditch them since 1956.....

I hope everyone posting her realizes that we are the only ones who think things like this are outrageous.

Just as the Media spent every waking hour working to undermine President Bush and the Republican Party, they spend an equal amount of time making sure there is no criticism of their God, the Obama.

The sins of his appointees, or anyone else affiliated with him, are not seen as liabilities. They are portrayed as things that are set in motion to betray him, the poor victim of the unfair Political system he was drafted into.

And we all know the system was setup by those evil Republicans, and Rush Limbaugh, don't we?

posting HERE - oops...
