Obama Administration Transparency Getting Worse

Posted by samzenpus on from the nothing-to-see-here dept.

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."

    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.
