So much for the Obama transparency promise

Because Obama promised to change it.

He hasn't changed it.

He could, easily and legally with a presidential order, but he chooses not to.

Bush didn't promise to change it, and he didn't change it.

Obama promised to change it, and he didn't change it.

See the difference?

US CITES SECURITY MORE TO CENSOR, DENY RECORDS

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration has a way to go to fulfill its promises from Day 1 to become the most transparent administration in history.

More often than ever, the administration censored government files or outright denied access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, cited more legal exceptions it said justified withholding materials and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.

"More often then ever" doesn't sound like "it's just business as usual within our government....BOTH parties engage in it....been that way for a VERY long time."

I'm almost as shocked as the Bush/Cheney White House refusing to release the list of energy summit reps that had open access to the Oval Office.... :Yawn:

Another slow-news-day for outrage-of-the-day?

So even you have given up on the man you twice wore out shoes trying to elect him?
Unable to defend him, so the best you can do is attack someone else?
Weak sauce.

And slow news outrage? You don't mind the government hiding stuff from us? I suppose you wouldn't have any issues with the JeffCo school board going to closed meetings too?
