Reply #70: Transparency, transparency, transparency, for one! Transparency goes a long

way towards true representative democracy. A light will at least expose all those cockroaches. And boy would those Congressional (and administration) cockroaches scatter. Obama's administration has been as transparent as a bank vault. And that was one of his big issues in the campaign.

And he has never listened to all sides, unless you think all sides is "business as usual". Listening to all options and ideas may provide potential solutions to today's most pressing problems. Listening to the tried and proven wrong, which is Obama's expertise, has impeded real change. Sorry to say, but to me, Obama is like an ostrich with its head in the sand.
