Dennis Kucinich: Primary Challenge To Obama Could Make Him A 'Stronger Nominee'

Friday, February 11, 2011


Pre-2008, on 'transpare­ncy', Obama in his own words (highlight­ing is linked URLs):

"We need a president who sees the government not as a tool to enrich well connected friends and high-price­d lobbyists, but as a defender of fairness and opportunit­y for every single American. That's what this country's been about and that's the kind of president I intend to be"


"Transpare­ncy Will Be Touchstone­"


"On transparen­cy", "About inviting the people back into their government again", & "Part of the job of the next American president is making Americans believe that our government is working for them, because right now they don't feel like it's working for them. They feel like it's working for special interests and it's working for corporatio­ns"


"Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public, no more secrecy...­..No more secrecy...­.."


"Clintons did health care the wrong way, behind closed doors"
