Executive Order 13489 - Obama Bans Access to His Records on First Day in Office

Most transparent administration ever!!!

The short story on this is Obama overturned all provisions in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that allows for public inquiry and retrieval of the President's personal records for purposes of vetting after taking office.

FOIA was amended by George W. Bush late in is Presidency to include public inquiry and retrieval of the President's personal records, as if knowing Obama may not be qualified, thus giving the public access to his records after taking office.

From the Executive Order text:

Upon receipt of a notice of intent to disclose Presidential records, the Attorney General (directly or through the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel) and the Counsel to the President shall review as they deem appropriate the records covered by the notice and consult with each other, the Archivist, and such other executive agencies as they deem appropriate concerning whether invocation of executive privilege is justified.

(b) The Attorney General and the Counsel to the President, in the exercise

of their discretion and after appropriate review and consultation under subsection

(a) of this section, may jointly determine that invocation of executive

privilege is not justified. The Archivist shall be notified promptly of any

such determination.

What this says, is that only the Attorney General and Council to the President, are able to review records' requests and determine if they can be made public or not (what they deem appropriate).

Did you know Eric Holder is a personal close-friend of Obama's? Eric Holder was even on his campaign when usurping for Presidency. Eric has stated himself that he shares Obama's same views on the "World" and "Race".

The truth is out there. Just don't expect help from Obama when looking for it.
