Obama Issued Executive Orders Without Notice

Now he's trying to hide things ::)


President Obama issued a slew of executive orders and other official decisions without making any announcements to the press, Politico.com reports.

According to an article published Tuesday night, the president has since taking office issued three executive orders, one memorandum, one presidential notice and a proclamation without any attention from the White House press corps. That's because the White House press office never announced them and never posted any reference to them on its Web site.

A spokesman called the omission a "simple oversight," and said the information has since been posted to the WhiteHouse.gov site.

Some of the decisions were minor, such as a proclamation for American Heart Month. But others expanded the size of key bodies, including the National Economic Council and the Domestic Policy Council. Two others canceled orders relating to regulatory review from the Bush administration, according to the report.

Politico.com found the decisions in the Federal Register, the government's official policy record.
