Obama's Empty Transparency Rhetoric - WSJ.com
There's a lot of criticism of President Obama on this...
Kim Strassel takes a turn in the Wall Street Journal:
"Yet to listen to evidence presented at the hearing, the Obama administration is not only less transparent than promised but in many ways more opaque than its predecessors.
Mr. Stearns ran down some of the promises Mr. Obama made as a candidate—televising healthcare negotiations on C-Span, making White House contacts with lobbyists more open—and compared them with reality. The administration promised in 2009 to release visitor logs to the White House. According to a report by the Center for Public Integrity, to date only 1% of 500,000 meetings from the president's first eight months have been released, and thousands of known visitors (including lobbyists) are missing from the lists."
