Obama Transparency Fail: Offsite meetings for the purpose of circumventing the Presidential Records Act | Timothy P. Carney | Beltway Confidential | Washington Examiner

You can't make this stuff up....here is a quick overview but please read the attached link to the Washington Examiner for much more detailed info.

The list of Obama administration failures on transparency is long. Here's a sample:

• Obama's Housing and Urban Development Department demanded confidentiality orders from lobbyists with which it was meeting.
• A telecom advisor Obama's transition team did not disclose, was pushing policy that helped his client.
• The State Department has used flimsy reasons to reject a FOIA request over a former pipeline lobbyist now working on pipeline issues for State.
• The stimulus website didn't meet standards for transparency, according to the GAO.
• Total failure to post non-emergency legislation online for five days before signing -- beginning in the first few days.
• When Obama sent his Transparency Czar to the Czech Republic, he never replaced him, giving his duties to a partisan ex-lobbyist who believes "disclosure is a mostly unquestioned virtue deserving to be questioned."
