Hey, let’s drain the swamp! We need room for our own alligators.

The most transparent President in history told us that they are “taking government back.” Unfortunately he failed to mention that he is giving it to his buddies.

Fox news has the details of a presidential candidate who said of cynics, lobbyists and special interests, “They get the access while you get to write a letter. They think they own this government. But we’re here today to take it back.”

White House Press Secretary and Chief Alligator Wrangler Jay Carney

But then those pesky ugly things called ‘facts’ turned up. As Fox News reports, “A new report by iWatch claims the Obama administration gave 200 of its biggest campaign donors key assignments within the government or granted their business interests with federal contracts.”

Pity the poor, persecuted Obama administration. They constantly have to educate the poor, unwashed masses they represent that they have – in the words of White House Secretary Jay Carney “the highest ethical standards and …bold transparency.”

What about those 200 jobs for donors? A mere coincidence, according to Carney. “[O]ur ethical standards are unmatched by any previous administration,” Carney said at the White House press briefing. “Our efforts at transparency are unprecedented. And that’s not just me saying it, it is outside groups who have said that. So I think that the fact that individuals who have been appointed also supported the President is hardly a story.”

Carney failed to mention what outside groups have been singing the praises of Obama’s transparency, leaving us to guess as to whether this means groups like SEIU, Moveon.org or maybe even the DNC.

The article also says, “The press secretary also stated himself as an example for someone who hadn’t given a lot of money, but still has a job with the administration.”

If we were Carney, we probably wouldn’t brag too loudly about that.

Most transparent administration in history axes Transparency Czar

And now we bid a fond farewell to any pretense of transparency in the Obama administration. The One, who came into office claiming that his would be the most transparent administration in history, has now officially eliminated the job of the man who was in charge of it. Transparency, that is.

And now we bid a fond farewell to any pretense of transparency in the Obama administration. The One, who came into office claiming that his would be the most transparent administration in history, has now officially eliminated the job of the man who was in charge of it. Transparency, that is.

The Washington Examiner has the opaque details:

President Obama has abolished the position in his White House dedicated to transparency and shunted those duties into the portfolio of a partisan ex-lobbyist who is openly antagonistic to the notion of disclosure by government and politicians.

Obama transferred “ethics czar” Norm Eisen to the Czech Republic to serve as U.S. ambassador. Some of Eisen’s duties will be handed to Domestic Policy Council member Steven Croley, but most of them, it appears, will shift over to the already-full docket of White House Counsel Bob Bauer.

Got that? Transparency is now the responsibility of Obama’s attorney. And you know how transparent attorneys are.

When reporters attack: White House press rebels over Gibbs’ gibberish

So-called Town Hall meetings have always been a farce. Same with Obama’s idea of “transparency.” Now reporters are even starting to complain.

So-called Town Hall meetings have always been a farce. Same with Obama’s idea of “transparency.” Now reporters are even starting to complain.

Absent the pretense of a campaign “debate” platform, Town Hall meetings are now merely infomercials. Pure propaganda. Filled with hack partisan activists and axe-grinders who have nothing better to do than ask pre-approved questions. Unless it’s your job to report on these charades, you shouldn’t be watching them.

But it seems the media lapdogs are growing restless. Some in the White House press corps are no longer content to be the Obama administration’s public relations pep squad.

Helen Thomas has covered every president since Lincoln, er… Kennedy. Anyway, she’s old enough to know better and to resent the spoon-feeding. We don’t agree with Thomas on muchof anything, but we can’t help but cheer for her in this video. Watch as she teams up with CBS’ Chip Reid to confront smarmy spokes-tool Robert Gibbs about the White House’s manipulative question-planting techniques and his insulting non-answers.

Then imagine the outcry if the Bush team had been as “transparent” as this bunch.
