Ironically, Obama revoked a similar George W. Bush order in one of his first official acts as president. In 2001 Bush penned an executive order severely limiting public access to his presidential records. Shortly after swearing in, Obama killed it as part of his much-ballyhooed commitment to government transparency. At the time, the new president claimed that he was giving the American people greater access to “historic documents.”

Well, well, well...it seems the Democrats are doing exactly what they complained about the Republicans attempting to do. One more example that both parties are corrupt to the core.
What was Bush afraid of? What is Obama afraid of? If they have nothing to hide, they wouldn't attempt to do so.
One day we will know everything both of these POS wannabe dictators have done to assist with the destruction of this country. I wonder how that will work out for them...
Yes, but politicians are a bunch of lying rats. What did you really expect? Transparency? Ha!

I guess the question he really has to worry about is, will the next president do the same thing to him that he did to Bush?
I mean seriously, don't these guys realize that by doing this, all they're doing is sending up warning flags to the American public going, "Hey, there's something I don't want you to see..." That this "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" act has not only gotten old, but that it's starting to tick people off?
They are still being transparent. They're transparently putting themselves in a position to not be trusted.

Someone needs to confront him on this during one of his campaigning "question & answer" town hall meetings.
This is getting ridiculous. Their power is out of control and with all the uprisings they feel it slipping away and they're getting desperate. I repeat, this is getting ridiculous. They have NO RIGHT.
