It’s transparent what Obama hasn’t done

I can remember early on the president saying something along the lines of wanting the most transparent administration America has ever seen. From what I have seen and heard he has met his goal as it is clear the campaign from 2008 never ended and actual governing never began. Clearly, everything Team Obama does/doesn’t do is geared toward staying in power often at the expense of what’s best or right for the country.

The one major piece of legislation, Obamacare, the monstrosity composed by congressional staffers, is about to be shot down by the Supreme Court, which leaves a long list of problems all made worse under his watch. He has spent trillions based in his “green” economic outlook, and the economy remains stagnant. The Justice Department is suing Arizona while at the same time dodging a congressional investigation of itself, our southern border is a nightmare, and citizens have never been more anxious, or divided.

Our trust in governmental agencies is low due to waste and incompetence, and, spin it as they might, I can’t help but think other powerful world leaders are thinking, “If ever there was a time to pick a fight with the U.S., it is now.”

While all these major issues fester Team ‘O’ is busy arranging photo ops in Oklahoma in front of some pipes, granting interviews to express his, and his kids, “personal” views on same-sex marriage, making late-night comedic talk show appearances and shattering the quiet dignity normally associated with heroism in our country.

It has become crystal clear that President Obama is just another slippery politician with very little ability to lead the country. He wanted the most transparent administration in history; well, Mr. President, many of us can see exactly what is going on. Mission accomplished.
