Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama simply hates to be told what to do. Seriously. Here is proof.

Josh Gerstein, a writer for the Leftist Politico, recently wrote this report:

The Electronic Frontier Foundation said it asked for records on the make-up of the Intelligence Oversight Board in February, after a reporter's query for the information was rejected. The online civil liberties group sued in Septemberafter getting no response to its request.

EFF says it got an answer to its FOIA a week after filing suit. The names on the Intelligence Oversight Board are no surprise: the two former senators who served as co-chairs of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, David Boren and Chuck Hagel, as well as a former Air Force general who's a member of the PIAB, Les Lyles.

"Why the unnecessary secrecy?" EFF asked in a blog post Thursday. "It took DNI eight months and the filing of a lawsuit in federal court to produce 12 pages of entirely uncontroversial material. There simply aren’t legitimate reasons for this type of information stonewalling."

What Gerstein is concerned with is this: he simply does not understand why the White House would refuse a transparency request for a list of names that has proven to be non-consequential, bordering on the mundane. I think I have the answer. It is no more complicated than this: Obama does not work with people who purport to "tell him what to do." This is why he refuses to negotiate with Congress, for the most part. This is why he put together his American Jobs Act, reportedly, from suggestions including past GOP ideas, rather than seeking a bipartisan collaborative agreement. Instead, he stole GOP ideas and then told the GOP, this is "bipartisan" because I said it is bipartisan. Comments including "I will not tolerate such actions," "Pass this now," and "Pass all of my bill, now," are statements coming from a demagogue of the highest order.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
