I have to say that I am not surprised to learn that the government web site intended to list all stimulus spending and to detail who got the contracts pertaining to that spending will not be up and running for about a year. More precisely, the web site will be functional, but it will not have the relevant information put on it until some time next spring.
Obama made a big deal out of his new transparency initiatives. The people were going to learn all the details of his stimulus plan -- he was going to have them posted on the net for all to see. What utter BS! Obama simply lied.
Let's put it this way: Anyone even marginally aware of how a web site works knows that it would be possible to put the majority of the information about stimulus expenditures on the web by June 1 of this year if a directive came down from the Great Change Maker to his minions directing that this be done. Surely, a big chunk of the info could be listed. will it happen? Certainly not. Listing those who get billions of our money from the Obamacrats might open them up to charges like cronyism or illegality and we cannot have that. It might hurt St. Barack. Instead we have Obama claim that he is telling all and that is the only thing we get.
It will be interesting to see if there is any backlash at all in the media with regard to this blatant misrepresentation by Obama. Oh what the hell -- let's call it what it really is, a blatant lie!
As of now, the only change we are seeing from Obama is the loss of the openess of the Bush Administration -- and that is not easy to do.
