Let’s see, after an energy policy determined behind closed doors that shafted us all, a war based on false information, the “right” now wants cameras in toilets to make sure we see everything? Just go on line and pick your conspiracy, just don’t ask to see the writer’s GED. Most meetings and documents are also on line, but don’t bother going to the source, just whine.
For what it’s worth, I’m a thoughtful Obama supporter who is disappointed in his lack of transparency. I, nonetheless, do not find that his administration is a “disaster”, as you put it, Churchill. I recognize the complicated nature of things. I can support some of his policies and oppose others.
I also recognize that some things should be done in the light of day and others shouldn’t. I just believe that things like Cheney’s energy task force and the current health care deliberations should be open discussions.
I guess it must be common with strong advocates of both political parties but the very first justification for a screw-up is nah nah nah you did it too. dtroutma is a particular offender. Whenever Obama errs the only justification is well Bush did it too. Usually when you hit age 10 that childish retort stops.

Hey, I agree with the conservatives (who, nonetheless, seemed to have no problem with the shades drawn in the Bush administration)!
Obama promised to conduct the conversation about health care on C-SPAN. That would have been a boon for open democracy. Where’s the transparency?

church, if it’s more of the same, you should be happy! It’s the same as if McCain won or Bush never left.

Sorry Church, I knew I was misrepresenting what you meant. Just yanking your chain. No harm intended.
