Who has done a better job promoting transparency?

Poll question: Who has done a better job promoting transparency?

1. Silly "apples to oranges" poll.

Who has done a better job being president: Obama or Assange?

These two have entirely different motivations and responsibilities.

2. You're right

Assange's motive is transparency. I'm not sure what Obama's motive is. Don't get me wrong: I think Obama, relative to other presidents, has been superb with transparency. But, it's Assange who's leading the ways, and his is a revolution that every liberal should embrace enthusiastically, in my opinion.

3. Points well taken.

I agree!

While I do question Assange's rather "reckless" document dumps, there is no greater advocate for transparancy...anywhere...perhaps any time. And he will go down in history as such.

4. What have you learned from either one? How has either led to real transparency

I enjoy the political gossip on weakileaks but I have yet to learn anything I didn't already know. I would be more impressed with less spewing of info dumps and some real thought
