Ego and control. She believes the U.S. and its residents should be run her way, and wants to dictate our compliance. In that regard she's no different from Obama, who now wants to pass an edict that EVERYONE must vote or be punished. One of his two telepromptered excuses is an outright lie, the other absolutely defies all logic.

Another way they are alike is running their offices -- OUR GOVERNMENT BUSINESS -- in utmost secrecy. Her email $#!+stuurm just keeps hitting the fan, and Obama's White House is breaking secrecy records, with over 200,000 and counting legally obligating FOIA requests being denied even BEFORE his decree that his administration is immune to the FOIA.

Sounds like Oregon. It's considering passing a law ALLOWING school kids to use sunscreen when outdoors in school activities (that's presently illegal under their zero tolerance drug policy).

Wonder if they're allowed to pull off the road and eat a damned sammitch?

You people who vote for $#!+ like that astound me. You DESERVE that Warren faux squaw.


If you look at the text of his speech, you will see he mentioned countries that mandate voting, but he did not say the US should adopt that practice.

And Obama did not decree that his admin is immune to FOIA, the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia decided in 2009 that that the Office of Administration is not an agency as defined under FOIA and therefore not subject to the statute. The George W. Bush administration first mounted the legal challenge that resulted in the FOIA exemption.

The left-leaning AP article I read omitted that detail, but your article did add this more telling detail: "“This step makes mockery of the administration’s commitment to transparency, especially given that it’s Sunshine Week,” CREW executive director Anne Weismann said in a statement Tuesday. “Apparently they have abandoned even the appearance of transparency.” Besides, Bush's action was in direct response to attempts to obtain and publish day-to-day conversation among the WH staff, not 200,000 legitimate -- by the Obama WH's own admission -- FOIA requests for documents admittedly of public concern.

I watched his lips move AND read the text. Obama argued for mandatory voting in the U.S., including presenting and discussing multiple justifications for it. That's support in my book and in the headlines from many news agencies and media.
