President Barack Obama says his White House is more open than previous administrations and is disputing complaints he hasn't fulfilled a campaign promise to negotiate health care on C-SPAN.
Obama said Wednesday that he started his restructuring of health care with a media event in the East Room and has often invited photographers to take pictures of him meeting with health care executives. He says at some point, the meetings just become too numerous to invite news organizations.

I guess it depends on his definition of ‘transparent.’
transparent????????? the guy is lying, as usual.....
It is so transparent that his birth records are hidden. His health records are hidden. His collage records are hidden...
That’s “transparency”...
Just goes to prove he doesn’t know the definition of the word. LOL
And he covers all his bases, like when he says repatedly that the healthcare debacle isn’t about him, then tells the bluie dog dems that if they don’t pass his debacle it will ruin his pres__ency. You know the Biblical admonition, ‘a double-minded man is unstable in all things’.
obama - where's the birth certificate you illegal socialist!
Nobama ain’t lying, we can see right through his jiveass BS.
Socialists cans steal money and power through the legislative process to a point, and then have to rely on armed robbery after that point.
NATIONALIZATION OF THE HEALTH INSURANCE SYSTEM IS ARMED ROBBERY.
I would guess that he is acknowledging that we can see right through him.
Obscurity is transparency, slavery is freedom, propaganda is truth...
WHITE HOUSE RESPONSE TO CREW SUIT FOR HEALTH CARE EXECS VISITOR RECORDS INSUFFICIENT
"22 Jul 2009 // Washington, D.C. – While Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is pleased the White House has taken a step towards delivering the transparency promised in the first days of the administration, the letter sent by White House Counsel Greg Craig in no way satisfies CREW’s June 22nd Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the Secret Service visitor records of 18 health care executives. First, the FOIA requires the administration to release the records themselves, not merely a summary of some information included in the records. The actual visitor records likely would indicate with whom each official met, the administration official who requested clearance for the visitor, the time of the meeting, the duration of the meeting and, in some cases, the purpose of the meeting. In addition, no information was provided regarding any visits to the vice president’s residence. Mr. Craig’s summary is not an adequate substitution for the records themselves.
Second, this letter states the President has used his discretionary authority to release information regarding the visits. There is no indication, however, that this information is complete; there may well be records of other visits not included in this discretionary release. Further, as required by the FOIA, no information was provided to demonstrate the adequacy of the search.L
Finally, transparency is not situational. It is not sufficient for the White House to release certain visitor records shortly before a press conference to avoid distraction. In a separate case, CREW recently sued the administration for failing to provide records related to White House visits by coal company executives. In addition, CREW has two other cases for visitor records outstanding: one for visits by Christian conservative leaders to the Bush White House, and another for records related to visits to the Bush White House by lobbyist Stephen Payne. These cases are now before the Court of Appeals, but so far, the Obama administration has echoed the Bush administration’s position that these records are presidential, not federal, despite district court rulings clearly rejecting that legal analysis.
Releasing some records because it is politically expedient to do so is not transparency."
LOL....Okay.
What a tool.

I can agree with that assertion...
One can easily see through its daily pronouncement!
