How Is Obama Doing On Open Government?

An anonymous reader writes "OMB Watch today published an in-depth analysis of the Obama administration's progress on a wide-ranging set of open government recommendations. Key findings of the report include strong and consistent leadership from the White House on government openness and meaningful utilization of e-government and Web 2.0 technologies. But there has been no high-level effort to improve electronic records management and preservation, and the implementation of improved Freedom of Information Act policies has lagged."

    Bait and switch. But, were it possible for a President to initiate and enable change, the office would be eliminated.

    Barack Obama appears to spring, fully-formed, from the head of Zeus, at the 2004 DNC. That's a sure sign of someone who has been crafted, behind the scenes.

    He was always Lieberman's protege. When it was very-well understood that Hillary would not win an election as president, the crypto-corporate DLC folks used a fake-fight for primaries to set-up the insertion of Hillary as SoS. There, she is completely responsible for the management of Foreign Policy - or should it be more appropriately named as Imperial Adventure.

    You Americans have been so gamed, for so long, you think it is in your own interest to manage world affairs! I assure you, it is not.

    You need to vote for the oppressive health care bill in order to find out what's in it.
    - death panels
    - $100 billion funding hidden in bill
    - unconstitutional, but ignore that
    - more expensive than most existing plans
    - covers less than most existing plans
    - you don't pay, you go to ass rape jail
    - unless you get on the exclude list, by being an Obama campaign supplier
    - free mammograms, only costing $300 each
