Senior members of Congress — both Republicans and Democrats — are reacting with shock and awe at the tsunami of national security leaks emanating from the Obama administration. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News Channel that the unauthorized disclosures of classified information are “the most egregious breach of national security” he ever has seen. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, told reporters this week, “The accelerating pace of such disclosures, the sensitivity of the matters in question and the harm caused to our national security interests is alarming and unacceptable.”
McCain and Feinstein — and others in both parties expressing dismay at the disclosures — shouldn’t be surprised. The officials in the Obama administration who tell reporters classified details about SEAL team raids, Stuxnet, “kill lists” for targeted attacks on high-value targets and ongoing covert operations in foreign countries are doing exactly what the commander in chief wants. He told us so on the day of his inauguration.
Reading from a teleprompter in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the new president instructed his senior White House staff and Cabinet: “The way to make government accountable is to make it transparent so that the American people can know exactly what decisions are being made, how they’re being made and whether their interests are being well-served. … For a long time now, there’s been too much secrecy in this city. … Starting today, every agency and department should know that this administration stands on the side not of those who seek to withhold information but those who seek to make it known.”

Why are “Senior members of Congress” not reacting with Shock and Awe at the admitted existence of a Daily Kill List, and war actions – soon to include Syria, no doubt – not authorized by Congress?
I saw a clip of McCain consolling a distraught lady who was afraid of what would happen if Obama was elected in 2008. McCain assured her that Obama was a good man and she should not be afraid of what he would do as president. Now McCain is afraid. How is it that the people see the signs way before congress? It is so frustrating to see them stressing over sports and such while we can see the entire country collapsing around us.
“Starting today, every agency and department should know that this administration stands on the side not of those who seek to withhold information but those who seek to make it known.”
In that case, where’s your birth certificate, draft card, school records…etc? (Obama’s first act as President EXECUTIVE ORDER 13489 banning release of any of his records).
This administration is as transparent as mud. Obama, however, we can see right through.
What do they expect from a man who himself couldn’t pass a background check and appoints the same to national security posts? If anyone doesn’t understand what treason is it will be extensively documented by the time this government has finished engaging in it.
