Obama's Transparency Strategy

January 6, 2010

It goes something like this:

  1. Promise everyone you are different.
  2. Sing a good tune about open government and transparency.
  3. Make it sound believable and not just platitudes by using concrete examples like allowing CSPAN to cover healthcare debate.
  4. Get elected.
  5. Continue to talk the game of transparency while at the same time keeping everything hidden and in the dark.
