And yet more Transparency!! and Ethical Behavior!!!

Carol Browner, former Clinton administration EPA head and current Obama White House climate czar, instructed auto industry execs “to put nothing in writing, ever” regarding secret negotiations she orchestrated regarding a deal to increase federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.

Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-WI, is demanding a congressional investigation of Browner’s conduct in the CAFE talks, saying in a letter to Rep. Henry Waxman, D-CA, that Browner “intended to leave little or no documentation of the deliberations that lead to stringent new CAFE standards.”

Federal law requires officials to preserve documents concerning significant policy decisions, so instructing participants in a policy negotation concerning a major federal policy change could be viewed as a criminal act.

Hopey!Changey!!Transparency!!!

More proof that everything the evil party accuses the stupid party of doing is something the evil party will do once it is in power, would like to do, or would do if it thought of it.
Carol Browner is doing the very thing she and others of that totalitarian ilk accused Bush-Cheney etc. of with the oil companies.

She is the "Climate Czar?" For a nation that fought three wars to overthrow a king and assure that "We the People" means everyone, including black people, we have an awful lot of Czars.
