In his first weeks in office, President Barack Obama shut down his predecessor’s system for reviewing regulations, realigned and expanded two key White House policymaking bodies and extended economic sanctions against parties to the conflict in the African nation of Cote D’Ivoire.
Despite the intense scrutiny a president gets just after the inauguration, Obama managed to take all these actions with nary a mention from the White House press corps.
The moves escaped notice because they were never announced by the White House Press Office and were never placed on the White House web site.
They came to light only because the official paperwork was transmitted to the Federal Register, a dense daily compendium of regulatory actions and other formal notices prepared by the National Archives. They were published there several days after the fact.
A Politico review of Federal Register issuances since Obama took office found three executive orders, one presidential memorandum, one presidential notice, and one proclamation that went unannounced by the White House.
Two of Obama’s actions on regulatory reform were spotted by bloggers, lobbying groups and trade publications after they emerged in the Federal Register.
There was no apparent rhyme or reason to the omissions. A proclamation Obama issued on February 2 for African-American History Month was e-mailed to the press and posted on the White House web site. But another presidential proclamation the same day for American Heart Month slipped by.
Such notices were routinely released by the White House press office during prior administrations  making their omission all the more unusual given Obama’s oft-repeated pledges of openness.
Most of the documents were posted to the White House web site Tuesday night, after Politico inquired about their absence. “It was a simple oversight,†a spokesman, Ben LaBolt, said.

So, what about that whole “transparency†thingie, Barack?
How’s that working out for you?
NEWS broke last week that Rahm Emanuel, now White House chief of staff, lived rent- free for years in the home of Rep. Rosa De Lauro (D-Conn.) – and failed to disclose the gift, as congressional ethics rules mandate. But this is only the tip of Emanuel’s previously undislosed ethics problems.
One issue is the work Emanuel tossed the way of De Lauro’s husband. But the bigger one goes back to Emanuel’s days on the board of now-bankrupt mortgage giant Freddie Mac.
Emanuel is a multimillionaire, but lived for the last five years for free in the tony Capitol Hill townhouse owned by De Lauro and her husband, Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg.
During that time, he also served as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee – which gave Greenberg huge polling contracts. It paid Greenberg’s firm $239,996 in 2006 and $317,775 in 2008. (Emanuel’s own campaign committee has also paid Greenberg more than $50,000 since 2004.)
To be fair, Greenberg had polling contracts with the DCCC before – but each new election cycle brings its own set of consultants. And Emanuel was certainly generous with his roommate.
Emanuel never declared the substantial gift of free rent on any of his financial-disclosure forms. He and De Lauro claim that it was just allowable “hospitality” between colleagues. Hospitality – for five years?
*******
The SEC later fined Freddie $50 million for its deliberate fraud in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Meanwhile, Emanuel was paid more than $260,000 for his Freddie “service.” Plus, after he resigned from the board to run for Congress in 2002, the troubled agency’s PAC gave his campaign $25,000 – its largest single gift to a House candidate.
That’s what friends are for, isn’t it?
Heh. That toddlin’ town. I’ll give Barry this: I think he’s gotten to scandal-plagued White House more quickly than any previous occupant.

Meanwhile, Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, a producer and host for Bridges TV who worked alongside the Hassans, said “now is not the time” to debate the cultural and religious context of the murder that appears to be an honor killing inspired by Aasiya Hassan’s desire to divorce her husband.
“There will be time for that later,” Hirschfield said in a statement obtained by FOXNews.com. “I will only say to those who leap to the conclusion that this kind of thing is intrinsic to Islam, ask yourselves if you think that drunkenness is intrinsic to Irish Catholics, or cheating in business is to Jews?”

When Bush did it, he was a criminal.
When Obama does it, well it is okay.
Gotta give Rahm Ebamalagojevich great credit for creativity. He’d make such a fine chief of staff.
Unfortunately, it’s only scandal if the news media print it as such. Only blog people read the Politico, unfortunately. Ask the average Joe on the street about this stuff, and he’ll know nothing.

The Chicago Way!
Most of what Baracky does bothers me only from a political perspective. They are generally things he gets to do because he won. What really chaps my ass is the fact that he is such an aggressive liar about everything, while still campaigning about newhopeychangey.
The fast-track recapitulation of the Clinton Presidency continues apace.
I can’t wait for the finger wagging speech.
What chaps my ass is that so many people idolized and voted for him because he was “different” and for no other reason. And, he’s not different.
And, if the media doesn’t get off it’s kester and start actually REPORTING, the sky is the limit for the Dems.
Of course, the Baracky strategery of hiring journalists to work for his administration is masterful.
I think Rahm just has the Audacity of Hope.
As in he was/is hoping he doesn’t get caught.
G-d, I HATE to be defending anything that Teh One does, but all administrations hire journalists. Tony Snow, anyone? Now, if you said Baracky has hired more journalists than previous administrations, I wouldn’t be able to argue with that.
Now I have to take a shower and wash off the shame.
Obama just ripped Bush for “not doing anything” in the face of the looming crisis and his sheeple start cheering and applauding.
Just another rally where he says whatever he wants without a care what he will say six months from now.
Perfunctory socialism sucks.
He does not have to hire them, Carin. If he hires them, they become whores. Right now they are just sluts.
Anyone else creeped out by the O-BA-MA chants at his pressers?
Misery pimps is what they are, easyliving. Misery pimps. It is what they do.
6 months, my ass. His words cease having any meaning the moment they pass over his lips, and are immediately subject to reinterpretation and change. I have always said ….
And that’s the only thing they cheered. Talking about people buying more than they can afford and borrowing beyond their means? Crickets. Boooosh? YEEEAAAARRRGHHHH!

He is campaigning for a permanent position as our priest-king. I’m not sure what The Lightworker will do when he gets that job. Campaign to be elected G-d I guess.
He is President now, WTF is he doing? He is not in Washington doing his f@cking job that is for sure.
The One Lightworker has transcended the mere physical confines of the White House.
He is with us always. Like a super Tom Joad.

my man josh gerstein lands at the Politico…cool. hes a good reporter and I worked with for a while at the NY Sun.
I love the way Rahm and Barry roll. Its excellent. Living rent-free. Classic.
In that case, JD, he isn’t campaigning as much as proselytizing. That makes sense, I guess. He should throw some parables in there somewhere to mix it up a bit. The parable of the unrepentant Republican should go over well. I understand he ends up in a re-education camp and eventually converts to progressivism. A happy ending for all!
Gosh. Y’all are so negative.
I do not think that your definition and my definition of happy ending are the same.

Tony Snow was his “press” secretary, so that makes sense.
The number of journalists that are starting to appear in Obama’s administration seem more like payback and grease for the wheels to insure that the lines of communication between the White house and MSM stays nice and greasy.
Honestly – Sanjay Gupta? Oye.
mcgruder, this country can never be whole until Michelle gets a salary for being First Momma.
I’m going to cornify this thread, that’s what I’m going to do.
Which job did he run for then? I am getting confused here.
5 years rent-free, with literally hundreds of thousands of dollars going to his “landlord’s” spouse. This should be breath-taking in its audacity. I wonder when the IRS will come knocking?
Dan, I can’t quite read what you wrote, ’cause you’ve got a big fucking unicorn right over your comment. I’m gonna use this next time thorazine is around.
It was HOSPITALITY, you haters. GAWD. What is so difficult about this for you wingers?
I can haz free rent?
Bush probably had a few more journalists lying around, I’m too lazy to find out. D.C. has had a revolving door for a long time. Still, I concede that Baracky is hiring a lot of them; however, since he is largely a creation of the media, it’s only natural he’d want to keep a lot of them close. If they stop believing in him, he might cease to exist entirely.
No, JD, not you. You can have a unicorn, though. OR a rainbow. It’s really very random.
It isn’t very Hopey, Cranky. Or changy.
I’m beginning to think his whole campaign was one big huge marketing scam. More rainbows and unicorns are called for.
Most ethical administration EVAH! CHANGE! has come to Washington.
I just read the Rahm Emanuel rent-free/kickback post. Uh…. how the hell is this not a story on a national scale?
Maggie has a cautionary picture for overusing the cornify button, though.
You know the answer to that question, Mr. Pink.
I want a unicorn, and a rainbow. Dammit.
cranky – Don’t forget that Jeff Gannon and TEH GHEY PRON COCK OF LIES were Bush stooges.
Maggie got a unicorn I haven’t seen yet. It must not come up often.
Because, Mr. Pink, teh Change of the Obama administration is that the MSM isn’t going to cover anything that may taint Teh One or democrats.
Is there a pronify button?

I know a possible answer yes. If that answer is true then pretty much what I get thru watching television news and reading the WashingtonPost on a daily basis is just a steady diet of propaganda.
Thanks, JD. I had totally forgotten about them.
Can you fucking imagine the hysterics and histrionics if it turned out that KKKarl Rove had been living rent free in Richard Melon Scaife’s basement?

Things don’t get to the white house web site because thats how socialists work. They don’t or rather they get round to it eventually, if at all. There is no effeciency in the system, cause the system dis-incentivizes it.
Anyone who saw the organizers at the Atlanta Olympics, or been to a DMV in Zimbabwe will know what I mean.
#52 Dan, I’m sure I’ve seen something similar at B3TA.
A Bunnify button would be nice as well.
Even the journalists what aren’t in Baracky’s administration are in Baracky’s administration though. Mostly anyway. Josh person is an exception. Mr. Tapper too, somewhat.
Good point, hf. Why hire them when they are already working for you for free?
The pattern continues of the Obama white house actually doing everything the left accused the Bush administration of doing. I know it is usually a safe bet that when you hear the left complain about something, its usually what they want to do, but this takes it to new levels.
Obama like to drive to the hoop occasion, and if he misses the shot he always calls a foul. That’s all you need to know.

That’s just the way I roll.
BJ has anger issues. Don’t fear the unicorns!!
Are unicorns better smoked, or are they more of a pit thing? I’m thinking they might go well with a Carolina mustard-style sauce, but thats just me.
Do they taste like chicken?
Heh. Well, you know, different strokes. But, just so you know I have a cute little “my little pony” unicorn hovering RIGHT over your name.
Why does Baracky hate the Cote D’Ivoire, and when did we quit calling it the Ivory Coast, and why did we revert to some pussified Frenchified bullshit?
I bet that some thick-sliced smoked bacon would make those unicorns taste much better. And butter.
Well, considering that the Democrats, particularly the far left ones, have reveled in referring to eeeeeeeevil Boooooooooosh! as Chimperor BusHitlerBurton for the last 6 years, I don’t see much harm in referring to Obama in a similar style…

Ted is invited to my “Exploit the Earth Day Barbecue.” Menu to follow but you already know the main course.
This is what I “HOPE” for: that folks have the courage to take issue with these genuine scandals and protest such; that they ask for real, true “change” in this administration and hold them to the same standard they did for the Bush administration.
It seems folks are way, way, too willing to give pass after pass to this administration since they perceive this President as so “likeable” and “heroic”.
I wonder what level of, act, of corruption can take place under the guise of “mistakes” or “stumbles” before the folks at KOS of the “Huffies” start their “dissent”.
Dissent will remain unpatriotic until the next Republican administration.
As much as I admire Ted for the stances he takes, I’m not a huge fan. His stuff never grabbed me.
I am sure that Ted would grab you, Carin, given the opportunity.
Dissent is the highest form of treason, dontcha know?
I am encouraged by the tax protests that have occurred already, so early on. It could become something more regular as time goes forwards. Interestingly, that might just be the catalyst towards healing the rifts between left and right.
Can someone answer me a question please. What is more important, someone tapping their foot in a bathroom stall or the Chief of Staff for the President of the United States taking advantage of rent free housing while funnelling government monies to the people who gave him that rent free housing? Because the level of media coverage on these two in no way was, in my eyes, no way relevent to their significance.
Tapping your foot is exponentially more important, Mr. Pink. Because of Teh Hippokrissy, or something like that.
I can’t believe Mr. Pink is actually defending that foot-tapper. Jesus, a man can’t even take a piss in peace and you’re making it out like its no big deal.
The answer to this is yes.
Which is in turn the answer to #108.
i think texting house pages is more important
Their originally planned chant polled poorly. Apparently “sieg heil” doesn’t play well in Peoria.
Mr. Pink,
You’ll have to wait until thor’s around for a definitive answer to that question:)
Seems to me though that the MSM is allowing Rahm-bo a wide stance on the whole ethics issue…
Mebbe they don’t want to recieve dead fish in the mail…
Isn’t it kinda hypocritical to be lecturing CEO’s on their spending habits while soaking it up in a hottube rent free at your buddies house who you are doling out public funds to in the lead up to a recession, a recession in part caused by a housing crisis that your buddy helped oversee? Uh what part of “THE HYPOCRICY” am I missing here?
I can answer my own question, the big D party affiliation right in front of their name.
They sell smoked unicorn legs at Disney World. They claim they’re turkey legs, but, damn, those would have to be some big-ass turkeys.
We’re not allowed to judge hypocrisy Mr. Pink…
Only our betters, like Chris “Tingle” Matthews, Olberdork, and Maddow can really objectively determine what hypocrisy is…
I mean, they know for sure; having practiced what they preach and such…

Friends,
Please refrain from using the phrase “wide stance” in this post. There is a certain asgardian idiot that must not be named (lest he show up) that is drawn to that phrase like ants to sugar. This fool fancies himself a classic hetero tough guy, yet he endlessly opines on Jeff’s wardrobe and physique.
And quite frankly, it creeps me out.
Wow, not only is this idiot a massive bigot, but he’s drawing moral equivalence to drinking too much or being cheap with… hacking your wife’s head off?

Librarians are being told to move the Bible to the top shelf to avoid giving offence to followers of Islam.

‘It is particularly disappointing if this is done to put the scriptures beyond reach.

I think the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. However, I think Baracky is dissimilar to a rabid chimp in several ways. Baracky is way more spendy than your average rabid chimp.
Baracky also lies about the pretenses upon which he mortgages the country’s future, something never noted in the literature concerning the behaviour of rabid chimps.
Also, rabid chimps are not dirty socialist dipshits what style themselves after the current ruler of Venezuela.
One might also note that your typical rabid chimp would eschew the appointment of an inexperienced poseur to the position of Secretary of State, particularly one what calls Christianity a “perverted religion.”
Would a rabid chimp appoint a sniveling tax cheat as the Treasury Secretary? I think we all know the answer to that question.

I’m sorry, what was the question?
Did your free gas and house show up yet?

How about Miranda, did they ever take a poll on that? Or when Kennedy or Johnson started sending all them boys into Viet Nam, what kind of poll numbers did that get?
I like how they mention the “dismal” poll results for Congressional Republicans. Anyone have the poll numbers for Congress in general? For Dems in Congress?

oh. right.
I’m still amazed at the rapidity with which the trolls adapt to TrollHammer. Are we sure they’re not sharing information?
“And Jeff bans every dissenter these days. Such a classic liberal!”
Makes you feel right at home, banning dissent does? Eh, comrade? Just like on the open minded Kos and DU.
That’s not even true about the banning dissenters thing.
Of course it’s not. Their specialty is lying, after all. It’s just what they do. Kinda like apes going apeshit.
Gotta say, love Trollhammer! Thor is dead to me now. And that’s the way I like it, uh huh uh huh.
Jeff has banned how many people? Not even five I think. With all the abuse and vile thoughts spread around the comments, less than a handful being banned isn’t very many. Politely go against the narrative at most lefty sites, you get banned immediately. Of course, in moral relativity land, it’s the same thing.
Cranky, I think they consider being ‘hammered the same as being banned. At least, I’ve seen a lot of lefties confuse no one wanting to listen to them with censorship, and it seems that might be the source of confusion with this bunch.
if instead of saying “trollhammered†there was a unicorn or rainbow.
