Should Obama admit he just lied about transparency?

“When there’s a bill that ends up on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what’s in it before I sign it, so that you know what your government’s doing,” Mr. Obama said as a candidate, telling voters he would make government more transparent and accountable.

When he took office in January, his team added that in posting nonemergency bills, it would “allow the public to review and comment” before Mr. Obama signed them.

Five months into his administration, Mr. Obama has signed two dozen bills, but he has almost never waited five days. On the recent credit card legislation, which included a controversial measure to allow guns in national parks, he waited just two.

He has lied about a lot of things. Typical politician. Tell the people what they want to hear even when you know you are lying. Obama’s moderate rhetoric has been discounted because all his programs so far have be very far left of center. He is a consummate liar.
