Robert Gibbs, President Barack Obama's former press secretary, says that he was once instructed by the White House not to acknowledge the administration's use of drones.
"When I went through the process of becoming press secretary, one of the first things they told me was, you're not even to acknowledge the drone program," Gibbs said on MSNBC's "Up With Chris Hayes" on Sunday. "You're not even to discuss that it exists."

Barack Obama: my favorite neo-con.

Dem vs. Pub = Coke vs. Pepsi in DC

obama hasn't been as open as he has called for, yet he has been more open than previous

still a ways to go

not surprising about the drone program though, as a contingency of them being used primarily in Pakistan, was that the Pakistani Government not even acknowledge any agreement of them being used

Pretty close to true, at least in terms of actual policy. They sure market themselves differently though.

Dem vs. Pub = Coke Zero vs. Diet Pepsi in DC = no nutritional value either way.

your prez could sit on his azz and not do anything as 4 American's get slaughtered in an attack lasting over 7 hours in an African Nation and you would still find a reason to praise him-the fact that you even remotely acknowledge he is not as open as he promised is a milestone

Our President fizzes out as a leader.
His policies are flat and he has no taste.
