Obama Administration Transparency Getting Worse
schwit1 writes "The government's own figures from 99 federal agencies covering six years show that halfway through its second term, the administration has made few meaningful improvements in the way it releases records. In category after category — except for reducing numbers of old requests and a slight increase in how often it waived copying fees — the government's efforts to be more open about its activities last year were their worst since President Barack Obama took office."
Perhaps that is what he meant about most transparent administration? You know, kind of like trying to beat the world land speed record.... oh wait thats fast...for single wheeled vehic....oh how about single wheeled electric, multi-passenger vehicles? What No record?....oh we have that so beat!
Set the bar low enough, and you barely need to step over it.

I would love to give all politicians a break...somewhere around C1 or C2.

Pretty much. Obama ran on the platform of 'change.' He isn't bringing it.
Well that does it. I am not voting for him again.

This would require that they have a spine - so that leaves out 99% of politicians.
Enough C4 will insure that there's a break around C1 or C2. But with enough, you don't need to worry if they're spineless.
you can keep your transparency
