      WELL, WTH DO YOU EXPECT FROM A "president" who wants to ruin the USA. he is an impompenr who takes his orders from george soros, the puppet master. notice how often he changes his "stance" on matters. he just gets a ring on his blackberry when he does not say the right thing and then says the "official line" he has been told. SOME MAN,i must say that was elected by the "people", that def, dunb and uninformed.......

      Now, before all you "Barry Bashers" jump onto this ... please remember that you are being manipulated by one of the most famous Cult Leaders in American History.

      Here, this is a link to the founder of The Washington Times.

      http://www.gorenfeld.net/book/

      Check out the video. You'll see that The Times was founded by Sun Myung Moon ... lunatic Cult founder of the MOONIES.

      And if you think that he gave up being a cult leader ... think about it ... do sexual predators give up being sexual predators?

      Same thing with Cult Leaders. They NEVER relinquish the desire to control other people's thoughts and behaviors.

      You will NEVER get a full story from The Washington Times.

      That is not their mission.

      Their mission is to motivate hatred for Democracy - which Sun Myung Moon is OPPOSED to!

      Check out the video - it's actual footage and an explanation of this man's history.

      .

      Well... He's rolling back many things from the Bush administration, this is just another to add to the pile...

      Every complaint about this sort of thing says it is "onerous". Again, that's no surpise. Even if you think it shoudl be done, you have to expect it will be a pain in the but, ie onerous...

      FTA:

      "The Labor Department noted in a recent disclosure that "it would not be a good use of resources" to bring enforcement actions against union officials who do not comply with conflict of interest reporting rules passed in 2007. Instead, union officials will now be allowed to file older, less detailed conflict reports.

      The regulation, known as the LM-30 rule, was at the heart of a lawsuit that the AFL-CIO filed against the department last year. One of the union attorneys in the case, Deborah Greenfield, is now a high-ranking deputy at Labor, who also worked on the Obama transition team on labor issues.

      Labor officials declined to say whether she played a role in the new policy, noting that Ms. Greenfield is abiding by all government ethics rules. In court filings, she and other union attorneys called the 2007 rules "onerous.""

      Interesting.

      Bottom line - Obama is owned by the unions, and reneging on transparency is part of the payback.
