Disclosure and The Presidency

Ah. The near age-old question, reformatted for a new presidency:

Will Obama Be the First President to Tell the Truth About UFOs?

It's a lovely thought isn't it? It's white, soft and fluffy like lil' bunnies - and mostly everyone loves bunnies! Right!?

Hrm...

At any rate, while I'd love to believe that he will be the one to break the door down on disclosure (for my current official position on disclosure, read this) I don't think it's going to happen. The above article mostly assumes that the president might actually has a fucking clue as to whats going on in regards to UFOs or alien vsitation, or that any president has been privy to that information. They do bring up the possibility of even the president being susceptible to a government cover-up, while discussing Clinton' request for information.

I think what happened with Clinton was that he was told one of two things:

• That his office has no authority over the area of government handling these cases
• He was told and it was so freaking crazy that he didnt know how to break it to the people, realizing that it really could create chaos or civil unrest. 

My money is mostly on having no authority, that he was derailed and put in his place by a higher different branch of government.

And really, with as fucked up as things currently are, I would think that disclosure or even an in-depth investigation is on his list of things he'll get to as soon as the U.S. is happily whirring along with praise from the rest of the world, somewhere between getting the dog to the groomer and picking up a gallon of milk.

In other words, you might not want to hold your breath.
