Obama Admin Fights Missing White House Email Lawsuit
DesScorp writes "The AP reports that the Obama administration has picked up where the Bush administration left off on the missing White House email issue by trying to have a lawsuit dismissed that would have kept investigating whether or not email was still missing. Two advocacy groups suing the Executive Office of the President expressed disappointment with the Obama administration's actions. Tom Blanton, director of the National Security Archive, noted that President Barack Obama on his first full day in office called for greater transparency in government. The Justice Department 'apparently never got the message' from Obama, Blanton said."
Is this the "concession" to the republicans for the stimulus package?

Be serious, they haven't come to grips that the "Savior" is just a Chicago politician, with all the corruption that is part of that phrase.
Until everyone in Washington is replaced in 3 election cycles (for the whole Senate) there will be no change. Try replacing them with someone who has actually done productive work, not lawyers.
Professional Politicians are not the solution, they ARE the problem.
Believe everything in a book? No. But, how about the newspapers? In the days immediately after the World Trade Center collapsed - how many planes were in the skies, departing America? And, who was aboard that plane? The Bush and Saud families are indeed much to cozy, and questions beg to be asked.

You want to know why folks voted for Obama? Two words: Caribou Barbie. MCSame was an idiot for picking Caribou Barbie as his running mate. He is old, has already had cancer once already, and frankly the thought of Caribou barbie in the big chair scared the hell out of a lot of folks. My dad owns a SMB and for the first time voted Green Party. Why? Because he didn't like NObama but couldn't stomach the thought of Caribou Barbie in the big chair.
Not that I honestly thinks it matter much anymore, because short of a revolution things aren't going to get any better. The laws and politicians are by the lobbyists, for the lobbyists. See the Sonny Bono extension act as one of thousands of examples of laws written by lobbyists(in this case Disney) and the bribes...I mean donations aren't even done in the back room anymore, but out in the open. So all those that complain about "Obama VS McCain" are missing the big picture: BOTH are whores, the only difference is who gets first choice when fucking the country. With the Repubs it is big business and defense, and with Dems it is Hollywood and labor. Frankly BOTH completely suck and are a waste of your time voting for them.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
The last eight years should be glaringly obvious as to why not
Oh really? Can you not see that the last eight years were a bunch of people on the left trying to peg Bush on the war while the real national crisis was a Fannie Mae house of cards that the American left created?
If there is no Fannie Mae, there are no mortgage backed securities and subprime loans, and no economic meltdown. But, those risks were worth it to the American left because they ultimately don't care if the private economy falters as they would nationalize it anyway.
The undercurrent of Obama's supporters is "finally, there was a systemic problem in free enterprise, so now we can get on with socialization". It doesn't matter to the left whether or not they destroy free enterprise because they do not believe in economic freedom. Where's the investigations into Fannie Mae? The WSJ called for them for nearly 20 years to deaf years! People have been arguing for years that you can't lend money to ghetto dwellers..but there's Dodd, Clinton and Frank all pushing the banks to lend to morons... because the banks were expendable, and people who own stock don't matter to the real American left wing, as wiping out private investors of their retirements will be another way to make them want to suck up to a heroic government.
If there was a genuine investigation of the last 8 years, half the Democrats in Congress ought to be executed. But when I come into power, I promise any Republican that there will be no trials, only murders, for what these people have done to this country.
This is my sig.
