Every month if not every week, President Obama and his administration flip flop on decisions and on campaign promises made earlier.  This is the president many of you (not me) voted for on the idea of change and transparency.  So far I only see President Obama doing exactly what President Bush has done in his two terms, but in a more concentrated effort. He is making  Bush bonehead rookie errors.

This week he reversed his decision to publish detainee abuse photos.  President Obama continues to show weakness in his decision making process by consistently contradicting his decisions with his own actions.  Afterwards, he rationalizes why he changed his mind.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which argued for the photos’ release, expressed outrage and said the decision “makes a mockery” of Obama’s campaign promise of transparency.

“It’s absolutely essential that these photos be released so the public can examine for itself the torture and abuse that was conducted in its name, and so that high-level officials who authorized or permitted that abuse can be held accountable,” ACLU attorney Amrit Singh said.

The human rights group Amnesty International said it was disappointed.

“Human beings have been tortured and denied basic rights. The American people have been lied to, and government officials who authorized and justified abusive policies have been given a pass,” said the group’s executive director, Larry Cox. He said the full story had not been told.

My biggest disappointment in his administration is his criticism on Bush and his abusive spending that got us into this bad recession. Yet, President Obama has taken it upon himself to be as fiscally irresponsible and has made it a goal to wastefully outspend his predecessor. The new 3 stooges Obama, Geithner, and Bernanke are no different than the original stooges Bush, Paulson and Bernanke.

Even though transparency has been a continued theme preached by President Obama and his administration, we continue to see the actions from deliberate planning out of public sight.  I am specifically talking about the numerous FRAUD bailouts that reward companies for failing, the outlandish budgets that continue to increase the federal deficit which further harms our economy, and manipulated stress test that have negotiated results by the banks to show them in a better light.  Simply put, President Obama is just the democrat version of President Bush.
