The Transparent President?

Well, once again, the man who bought votes by claiming to be for change and for transparency in government, proves that he is is just as bad as, if not worse than other politicians. The "transparent" President, took the July 4 recess (a brief one, at that), to install Donald Berwickas the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Mind you, this man has not even been vetted, so what's in his background that our "transparent" President doesn't want you to know?

Heck even Max Baucus, the Democratic head of the committee that would examine this particular nominee, fired a stinging complaint at the President. "'Senate confirmation of presidential appointees is an essential process prescribed by the Constitution that serves as a check on executive power and protects Montanans and all Americans by ensuring that crucial questions are asked of the nominee — and answered,' Baucus said in a statement." http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/health-reform-implementation/107417-mcconnell-berwick-recess-appointment-is-truly-outrageous

The only thing transparent about this presidency is the dishonesty exhibited by this administration. This is not the "transparent" president, it's more appropriately the "hypocritical president".
