Barry Obama ran on a platform of openness. He was to have the most transparent government ever. Well that, along with several other promises, seems to have been a whole lot of talk. A site created to pimp the idea of transparency is censoring questions about Blogojevich.
That’s irony you can believe in:
At lunchtime today, Not a single question about Governor Rod Blagojevich’s alleged attempts to sell Mr Obama’s vacant Senate seat was included in the top 50 questions on the site.
Instead, questions such as “What will you do to establish transparency and safeguards against waste with the rest of the Wall Street bail-out money?” and “What will you do as President to restore the Constitutional protections that have been subverted by the Bush Administration?” were deemed the most pertinent.
Questions like “Is Obama aware of any communications in the last six weeks between Rod Blagojevich or anyone representing Rod Blagojevich and any of Obama’s top aides?” and “When did you and Blagojevich last speak and about what?” could only be found by searching on key words.
Each inquiry mentioning Mr Blagojevich – even polite ones asking about “ethics legislation being crafted to actually curb corruption” – was marked: “This submission was removed because people believe it is inappropriate.”
Once again the phalanx of Obamatons have surrounded the candidate (I’m sorry, still Junior Senator from Illinois) and have defended him from any questions that may be hard for him to answer. I wonder what will happen when reporters from major media outlets, the same ones who fawned over Obama during the campaign, start to want answers from him.
How long will it take before they turn on Obama?
