On transparency and executive overreach
It is an established if underreported fact that the Obama administration is one of the least open regimes in recent history, despite Obama's oft-repeated goal of being the most transparent president ever.He may be transparent in his own mind, and in the minds of the media charlatans who give him transparency awards - yes, they really do - but at every turn he has tried to thwart openness. He has slowed down responses to open-records requests dramatically, turned on whistleblowers, and, when confronted with requests, the administration often says it can't find any records, only to find thousands of them if they are sued.
