[The headline should be] Obama Refuses to Cut 2 PCT of Federal Over-Spending/Borrowing

The Won dismissed the press from the room before taking questions from U.S. governors at the White House yesterday.

"I could not be more frustrated than I am right now," [SC Governor Nikki] Haley told reporters after the meeting. She said that when she asked Obama if he would consider a last-minute plan to shave about 2 percent from the annual federal budget without increasing taxes, the answer was "no."

"My kids could go and find $83 billion out of a $4 trillion budget," Haley said. "This is not rocket science."

Haley also noted that "no one should be going home. No one should be playing golf. No one should be taking vacations."

 

While the governors didn't have to pay to see The Won, donors to his shady "social welfare" organization will. A yearly set of four visits is priced at half a million dollars.

(It's more than likely the press will not be allowed at those gatherings either.)

Four annual visits for a half-million bucks! Maybe those of us who've been complaining that Obama promised us transparency but has delivered only opacity are wrong. Maybe this really is the most transparent administration in history. After all, it seems that, every day, the administration gives us an unparalleled look at its inner workings -- and what we've seen couldn't be clearer: jobbery ... graft ... swag ... kickbacks ... bribery ... cronyism ... boodling ... wire-pulling ... payoffs ... boondoggles ... Granted, they haven't told us everything we'd like to know about Benghazi and the like, but they've told us everything we need to know about the one subject you'd think they'd have tried to cover up: their boundless corruption. And maybe that corruption explains -- among other things -- why Benghazi had such a dreadful outcome: an administration that's hell-bent on loot and plunder simply has no time for other matters.
