The White House has refused to provide information about President Obama's negotiations with organizations such as Planned Parenthood over his impending nationalization of health care, saying he has a "privilege" to keep such communications concealed.
Among other arguments, a letter from Marcia Berman, a senior counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice, told a lawyer who sued Obama over the "back-door" deals, said, "Defendants object to the subpoena on the grounds that it seeks information that is protected by various recognized privileges, such as the deliberative process privilege and the presidential communications privilege."

Oh it’s just Barack making sure the Huessein in his middle name is put to good use.
That’s “transparency” for you.
worked for Cheney, didn’t it? I’m sorry if I miss a difference.
More of that Jack Squat Barry promised open government and transparancy I see.......=.=
PP doesn’t have privilege.
Oh boy, now the king is promoting himself as also a lawyer over the special negotiations. Privilege....? Yah right. More of this to come if this form of government sticks.
Please Lord grant us your mercy and grace again and may we never take You Lord, freedom and liberty for granted. In Jesus name, I pray.
Obama is making Nixon look really good!
Privileged like his birth certificate and his entire life sealed.
Obama said he would have the most open and honest adminisatration and the healthcare debates would be on C-Span.
Obama ia a big eared LIAR!
How does he have a privilege to BLACKMAIL or BRIBE without our knowledge...is he using OUR TAX DOLLARS as the sweetener. WE CERTAINLY HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW! Calling Mark Levin!!!
I think to understand the diff you need to engage your brain. Let me help while you get yourself sorted out. Mr Cheney never went around the country huffing and puffing about ethics and transparency. Barry did and now he wants to play the ‘I have secrets’ game. Youd be right if he hadnt made such a bid deal out of being better than Bush & Cheney. In fact he isnt and never had any intention of being.
yes, but while I can be outraged at Barry and co. for their hypocrisy (which I am - though I’m hardly surprised), I do not like seeing outrage at government secrecy applied selectively. We all would merit from more tranparency and less “gotta keep this secret ‘cuz it’s vaguely related to national security or sumpthin’.”.
And I did enagage my brain - I know it’s a stressful day, but I don’t want to check civility at the door.
Take care - we agree more than your tone applies.
I want to KNOW EXACTLY what bribes the President used to get health care hell passed BECAUSE the only MONEY he issues COMES FROM YOU AND ME!
