The most transparent White House ever has just blocked the White House press corps from covering President Obama's recent speeches. A President who claimed his administration would be the most transparent ever has just shut down Q&A from the national press corps. I guess the teleprompter could not be loaded with responses to reporters questions fast enough.
Actually this follows a pattern:
A) July 20, 2009 - White House delays report on budget update as unemployment rises.
B) December 28, 2010 - White House delays 2012 budget
C) January 22, 2011 - White house delays Fannie/Freddie report.
Is there a problem in the White House nobody wants to talk about? Could it be that nobody is running the asylum? Is an administration staffed by career politicians and civil servants in way over its head? How can the most transparent administration this country has ever seen, presided over by the most intellectual President ever, have such a hard time generating reports and budgets. Better yet, it doesn't trust its leader to do even simple things like respond to reporters' questions.
