President Obama ushers in new era of openness in 'People's White House'

January 21, 2009

Barack Obama today issued a series of directives and executive orders to extend openness and introduce new ethical codes for what he called the "People's House".

"For a long time now there's been too much secrecy in this city. The old rules said that if there was a defensible argument for not disclosing something to the American people, then it should not be disclosed," he said. "That era is now over." Obama said.

"I will also hold myself as president to a new standard of openness," he said. "Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency."

"we have sent thousands of pages of documents" as if that is an answer. What about Stover Solyndra that took the fifth in Congress? Why is the Justice Dept. not going after the criminal? It is Eric's job to make sure the laws of the United States of America are enforced. Why did Alberto Gonzales Attorney General under Bush resign? Bank loan Pacific Century Bank/National Bank linked to the global debt. @Congress What is taking so long? The US was dissolved in 1999 in a deposition in CV98-11374 AZ
