Another stonewall from maobamas boys, the most transparent administration is history my ass.

Here is an article from the Huffington Post. Can you imagine the MSM renting of clothes if GWB would have done anything like Obama has done? I post this because the liberals like to ignore such things so why not give them what they want? More to ignore.

Obama Promises, Including Whistleblower Protections, Disappear From Website

Amid the Obama administration's crackdown against whistleblowers, Change.gov, the 2008 website of the Obama transition team laying out the candidate's promises, has disappeared from the internet.

The Sunlight Foundation notes that it last could be viewed on June 8, which was two days after the first revelations from Edward Snowden (who had then not yet revealed himself) about the NSA's phone surveillance program. One of the promises Obama made on the website was on "whistleblower protections:"

The AGENT STILL WORKS FOR THE ATF -- don't you people know how to read??

He can't profit from skills or insider knowledge from his employment WHILE he's still working at the ATF. That's the law.

This has nothing to do with blocking his 1st Amendment rights, ya drama queens....

So... read better next time.

Dismissed.

One of the promises Obama made on the website was on "whistleblower protections:"

From the link...

"Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process."

The White House did not respond to multiple requests for comment on why the page was deleted. The site had offered a way to compare Obama's promises and administration actions and still can be viewed on the Wayback archive.

Like wow man, you need some information on what is the definition of whistleblower:

whis·tle-blow·er
noun
noun: whistleblower
1.
a person who informs on a person or organization engaged in an illicit activity.

You do understand that the term is usually applied to someone that is actually in the organization that is letting out information on corruption. That said, from the article, not your interpretation of the article:

Rather, the supervisors offered a different reason for their decision. “This would have a negative impact on morale in the Phoenix [Field Division] and would have a detrimental effect on our relationships with DEA and FBI.”

The ATF general counsel’s office subsequently sanctioned the decision, all but killing the book project.
So like man dude you be tripping if you think that this man does not have a legitimate beef. You be especially tripping since the ACLU has taken up his case.

Yes, I guess having it put out there that your organization's actions lead to the death of Americans certainly would depress morale. Especially when one thinks of the jail time they should be receiving.
