Barack Obama on Government Transparency

The wealth gap in America has only gotten worse in the last few decades. I voted for Barack Obama twice, and I'm only asking him to live up to the promise he made to me and every other voter who agreed that we are ready for change. That's why I ask the president to give the public a forum and a way to voice their opinion on any large agreement such as the Trans Pacific Partnership.



Any agreement such as this should be fully disclosed with the public. There's no reason to make secret deals without the public knowing. I want the transparency that was promised, and I want the public to have their voices heard.

He said it best that we can't "favor interests and pursue policies that cannot stand up to the sunlight"
