Obama gets a transparency award...
 
Link

Quote:

President Obama finally and quietly accepted his “transparency” award from the open government community this week — in a closed, undisclosed meeting at the White House on Monday.
Wait... Wait...

Quote:

The secret presentation happened almost two weeks after the White House inexplicably postponed the ceremony, which was expected to be open to the press pool.
Oh it doesn't stop there with the hilarity...

Quote:

“This president has demonstrated a commitment to transparency and openness that is greater than any administration has shown in the past, and he’s been committed to that since he ran for President and he’s taken a significant number of measures to demonstrate that,” Carney said in a testy exchange with Fox News reporter Wendell Goler on March 16.
This is coming from Fox News...

You now have permission to laugh uncontrollably.

While the secret ceremony is delightfully ironic, it's nice to see they're coming to terms with the existence of Wikileaks.

They're still in denial, just less so. I mean, aren't they still going after people that are supposedly remotely, vaguely, kinda sorta, related to Assange?

Now THIS is an April Fools thread.

I'm going to go cry myself to sleep.
 
In related news, there's a rather funny April Fool's joke on Vanity Fair about how Newt Gingrich, seriously possible Presidential candidate for 2012, is afraid of the Secular Radical Islamist Atheists taking over the US.

I wish I got awards for doing the opposite of things all the time like Obama. The only thing like that I've got is a little league trophy for good effort.

Number of wars being run by Nobel Peace Prize Winner Barack Obama: 2 3!

At least he said publicly that he didn't feel he deserved it. Too bad he's not doing much to change that fact.

Krylo 04-01-2011 01:50 PM

Because it's still a joke, even if it's serious.
 
We should really move this into the April Fool's thread.

Yea Impostor Syndrome is a bitch when you are an actual Impostor. I sure do feel sorry for him.
