Why are conservatives and Beckites so afraid to include actual quotes with a nice link for context? I mean really, transparent in what area? The original claim from 2008 about planning to be the most transparent was in a specific area, so I suspect any claim he made since then would also be specific. Probably why you did not want any one to actually know what he really said. So really, until you actually provide basic information, your poll question is unanswerable.
It's in the first chapter of his first book, Against All Enemies. I don't know where else it is written. But he cites direct quotes from the president. Clarke was adamant at the time that Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were responsible, while Bush directed him to find a way to blame Saddam. If it is not available online, I'm sure there are libraries that contain the book.
It probably is the most transparent in history. The information age means the general public is able to get more information about what is going on than before, and the Obama administration has improved that information flow. (i mean, in 1863 what were your odds of finding out about a proposed law before it was signed?) We're not in a cold war anymore so there's a lot less of that shady CIA/FBI spy stuff going on in secret.
Come on, how much of Reagan's shady **** do you think you were told about anyway?
That doesn't mean this administration is particularly transparent, though. Just ever so slightly less shady than the others.

Really??!!?? So when is Congress going to see the transcripts of the FBI interviews with the survivors of Benghazi?
You won't find them if you can only see black and white.

:roflWhy does the word... "banished" come to mind?
:O
you can't be serious.
I know plenty of Obama supporters personally. The one thing they are all universally disappointed in is the lack of real change in regards to government transparency.
I don't care who you know.
I seem to recall others promising transparency also, and none of them delivered.
I see some people didn't come back to answer the poll question.
President Obama said recently his administration is the most transparent administration in [American] history. Do you agree or disagree?
Right wing partisan website. Big deal.great reply.
meanwhile, back in reality, you are wrong

That's because there's only one answer.
Two words: Birth certificate.
Most transparent? To say yes is to either be ideologically blind, clinically stupid, or trolling.
So, anyone who disagree with you is a troll and stupid?
