Remember when this Hope n’ Change administration was supposed to be the new era of transparency….Er, not so fast jack! This is on a bunch of blogs today, but I’ll source it at the AP and also HotAir.com…

The White House is being forced to acknowledge the wide gap between its once-upbeat predictions about the economy and today’s bleak landscape. The administration’s annual midsummer budget update is sure to show higher deficits and unemployment and slower growth than projected in President Barack Obama’s budget in February and update in May, and that could complicate his efforts to get his signature health care and global-warming proposals through Congress.

The release of the update — usually scheduled for mid-July — has been put off until the middle of next month, giving rise to speculation the White House is delaying the bad news at least until Congress leaves town on its August 7 summer recess.

What happened to the most inclusive, transparent government evah!!! Oh, looks like somebody wants to get his sham of a universal healthcare deficit bill passed before showing the American public (aka the shareholders of the federal government) how badly their investment of tax dollars aren’t being managed properly.

Consider this: if those budget numbers looked good, would the White House postpone revealing them? Obama could use all the good news he can get at the moment, especially with two big-spending bills stalling in Congress.  If the deficit looked better than their May predictions, or even if it looked the same, those numbers would have already hit the front pages of newspapers across America and every network news broadcast, with the message that the worst has passed.

Good grief, it is honestly pathetic how people are still defending this guy as doing a job well done. The administration is outright LYING and cooking the books on the budget, yet people say the Dems have spending under control. WTF!
