Obama's transparency

You can't make this stuff up:
Today the Obama administration had a meeting on openness, which was closed to the public.
If you wrote this in a book, it would be judged as bizarre comedy and a rip-off of Catch-22. But such flagrant flouting of steely campaign promises is quite routine in this administration, as this AP article notes:
One can't help but be reminded of Clinton's promise to "be the most ethical administration ever."
If someday a candidate promised to do business as usual and be duplicitous whenever it was convenient, maybe we'd actually get a President that we could have faith in.
