I'm in complete agreement; this is Nixonesque, and the ACLU should succeed in this suit.
It's not the only area where Obama's running of the government has run afoul of his rhetoric and progressive image, either. Consider his handling of the wars and of Guantanamo. I suspect the defense of him on this thread by liberals is purely partisan and due to the reflexive (and incorrect) belief that any criticism of Obama amounts to a promotion of Cain/Romney/Whoever in next year's election. Not so. This will not stop me from voting for Obama next year, but it is certainly cause for concern, along with the other things.
That sort of thing, as well as the failure of the legislative process, is why the insurgency on the left has turned to protest instead of focusing on electoral politics.
But here's the thing...this comes up when a democrat is sitting in the whitehouse, and seldom when a republican is there.
I'm all for transparency..and I'd like to see people with views different from mine, agree on this.
It should make no difference who is president.
it does to you, though. obama has conveniently broken almost every campaign promise he made (gitmo, trnasparency, signing statements), and here you are defending him.
