Transparency has Left the Building

Remember way back during the Bush administration when the media and the left (but aren't they really the same?) had such a problem with a group of energy execs that helped create an energy bill?  Think about it.   They brought together some people who spend their time working with energy advising the administration about energy.

These people were helping craft legislation that was to be passed or not passed by the Congress and then signed by the President.  None of these people could make policy.  They simply gave suggestions to put into the legislation.

Now years later we have a jobs panel enpaneled by the current President.  These members are a motley group but many of them are fund raisers and bundlers for Obama.  Many more are net job killers.  They are corporate CEO's that have a history of large layoffs.

Now Obama decides that he isn't going to wait for Congress to pass his jobs bill.  He says it is the Republicans holding up his jobs bil, but actually the Democrats in the Senate don't like it either.  President Obama has directed his jobs panel (who are unelected remember) to find ways that he can implement job solutions without Congress.  I think they call that dictatorship.  Do CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN have a problem with this? Not that I have seen.

Is this the change you voted for? Eliminating Congress from the policy debate?  Does any of this sound like liberty?
