Obama Administration More Secretive Than Bush Administration



President Obama promised:
"My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government."

He is horribly failing at this promise.

AP reported:
One year into its promise of greater government transparency, the Obama administration is more often citing exceptions to the nation's open records law to withhold federal records even as the number of requests for information declines, according to a review by The Associated Press of agency audits about the Freedom of Information Act....

When Obama promised last year to be more open he said doing so "encourages accountability through transparency," and said: "My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government."
