OT: Obama Breaks Another Pledge: A Cabinet Full of Lobbyists

[Veritas]

On White House visitor list, Obama’s ‘transparency’ is murky:

Washington

When Barack Obama took office, he promised the most transparent presidency in history. His White House web site still displays the memorandum, signed the day after inauguration, committing his administration “to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government.”

But by now, it has become a cliché that when push comes to shove, the Obama White House behaves an awful lot like the Bush White House.

The latest flap is over visitor logs at the White House. The Obama administration is keeping secret, for now, the names of people who have visited the White House – though press secretary Robert Gibbs says that policy is under review.

This is more about Congress than Obama. I thought the phone book quote was great. Most Americans have “come to believe that the political system is broken, that most politicians are corrupt, and that neither major political party has the answers,” observes Scott Rasmussen. Just 27% believe Congress knows what it’s doing when it comes to the economy and 41% say that a group of people randomly selected from the phone book would do a better job than the current Congress. In his new book, Scott adds, “Some of us are ready to give up and some of us are ready to scream a little louder. But all of us believe we can do better.”
