A good government is one "which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread that it has earned.- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) (inaugural address)
Obviously, transparency is not the name-of-the-game for the Obama presidency. The name of the game is celebrity, being the "I am the President of the United States", royalty family. How many vacations does the family take? They are publicized vacations and obviously on the taxpayer.

For every action there is an equal and opposite government program.-Bob Wells
