barry is still stonewalling attempts to force him be transparent on his “ethics” policy concerning lobbyists and his exceptions.
From CHRIS WALLACE at FOX:
The White House has turned down a second request from Senator Charles Grassley for a list of exemptions granted to President Obama’s ethics policy restricting lobbyists who work for the administration.
The Politico newspaper reports the Iowa Republican wrote to the Office of Government Ethics: “The American people deserve a full accounting — of all waivers and recusals — to better understand who is running the government — and whether the administration is adhering to its promise — to be open, transparent and accountable.”
//Grassley made a similar request in March. The president’s executive order bars former lobbyists who join the administration from working on issues they were previously involved with, unless he asks for a waiver.
How long does transparency take?
And was he given a waiver for David Axelrod who is a lobbyist and had been acting as one during barry’s campaign?
