Liar in Thief, court jester slammed for his transparency sham.

Lawmakers and government transparency experts criticized the Obama administration’s openness at a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing on Wednesday morning.

President Barack Obama’s promise to operate the “most transparent administration in history” animated much of the hearing, with witnesses and legislators noting some progress but much failure to live up to the grand pledge.

“It is particularly a pleasure to be with you here again on Sunshine Week, though it’s unfortunately not as sunny as we’d like,” said Angela Canterbury, director of public policy for the liberal Project on Government Oversight (POGO).

“Sunshine Week” runs from March 10-16 and promotes government transparency.

The president issued an executive order at the beginning of his first term instructing agencies to follow the Freedom of Information Act “with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails.”

However, some representatives questioned the executive order’s effectiveness.
