One transparency advocate compared President Obama’s transparency award to his Nobel Peace Prize. It’s not so much what he’s done, but the potential for what he can do. Too bad he’s about as interested in living up to the open-government award as he is in living up to that peace prize. He accepted the award in a ceremony closed to the press.
President Obama finally and quietly accepted his “transparency” award from the open government community this week — in a closed, undisclosed meeting at the White House on Monday.
The secret presentation happened almost two weeks after the White House inexplicably postponed the ceremony, which was expected to be open to the press pool.
This time, Obama met quietly in the Oval Office with Gary Bass of OMB Watch, Tom Blanton of the National Security Archive, Danielle Brian of the Project on Government Oversight, Lucy Dalglish of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, and Patrice McDermott of OpenTheGovernment.org, without disclosing the meeting on his public schedule or letting photographers or print reporters into the room.

Once again, as with the Nobel and all sorts of libtard canonizations, the Indonesian Imbecile surpasses himself in demonstrating what a complete hypocrite he remains, from toe to top.
