The Unprecedented Secrecy of the Obama Administration

From Breitbart's Big Government blog:

President Barack Obama, on his first full day in office in 2009, said, “Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.” Time has given the lie to this bold statement.  Repeatedly.

In fact, what America has seen is unprecedented secrecy. Judicial Watch has had to file over 1,000 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and well over 100 lawsuits against the Obama administration seeking information about:

• Obamacare;
• the continued funding of the criminal ACORN network;
• tracking Wall Street bailout money;
• the czar racket;
• immigration policy;
• election integrity;
• information on Operation Fast and Furious (which led to the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and countless Mexican citizens);
• records concerning the illegal appointment of Richard Cordray to the NSA-esque, personal consumer credit data drilling Consumer Finance Protection Board;
• the images of the capture, killing and burial of Osama bin Laden (that might upset the terrorists);
• disastrous green energy loan guarantees;
• Benghazi;
• Billions of dollars of spending on Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac (the government takeover of the mortgage market);
• Hillary Clinton’s ethics compliance records (from an administration that has probably perfected the “ethics waiver,” but that’s another story).
