WASHINGTON -- The Obama team, pledging the ''most open and transparent transition in history,'' gets and ''A'' for disclosing donors to the Jan. 20 inauguration and a ''F'' when it comes to revealing transition meetings with groups. Contrary to its own ''seat at the table transparency policy,'' meetings are not posted on a Web site.
I'm giving a ''B'' to the Obama transition report on staff contacts with Gov. Blagojevich. The report was a summary narrative released last week of an internal inquiry into Gov. Blagojevich's selling-of-a-Senate seat scandal. While the Obama team deserves credit for disclosure -- including that President-elect Barack Obama and incoming White House staffers Valerie Jarrett and Rahm Emanuel met with federal prosecutors -- offering some notes or transcripts to support the conclusions would have been helpful.
During the presidential primary campaign, then candidate Obama, still an Illinois senator, made a pledge I heard for the first time on Oct. 24, 2007. In a school gym in Dover, N.H., Obama said if president, he would post his meetings on the Internet. That was interesting to me because Obama's Senate staff had been very selective about what Obama Senate-related meetings they disclosed and seemed to be guided by a ''less is best'' policy.

You’ve got to be kidding me.
Yea, riiiiight!
Just like the recently released Obamaloon internal studies showing that his troops, er - people, had no contacts with the Illinois gov.
This guy is gonna make Nixon seem honest.
Check that - he already has.
Stalin...not Nixon.
What does he get for transparency on his disabled credit-card campaign contribution scam?????????
A "B"? I think a lower grade is in order for lack of bibliography, references, or sources. Maybe an "A" for chutzpah (or comedy) for producing a self-serving report.
Transparent as aluminum..............
How can she give a grade without knowing for certain the accuracy of the report?
Obama gives me the creeps beyond any politics.
Oh, come on now Lynn ... you’re not seriously going to hold the O-child to his campaign promises are you? Just what part of the main-stream media do you think you are? Didn’t you get the memo? /semi-sarc
But it will never be reported.
As transparent as say....his birth certificate?
That’s made of UNOBTANIUM.................
Just one more thing he’s keeping in the closet.
Whenever a lawyer uses the word “clearly” lying is soon to follow
Whenever a Democrat hack uses the word “transparency” you know it’s that last thing they have in store for you
Dems like to talk to their “constituencies” via buzz words. They have their voters trained like Pavlov’s dogs. So the word “transparency” is used by 0bama to elicit a reaction from his easily hypnotized masses
This morning’s radio show had a chuckle. Someone proposed that the Illinois motto be: “Our governors make your license plates!”
