VIDEO: OBAMA ON TRANSPARENCY DAY AFTER INAUGURATION

Seriously, see if you can stop yourself from laughing with disgust or yelling at your computer screen when watching this one. The day after Obama was inaugurated - January 21, 2009, he gave this little speech about how transparency under his administration would be unmatched compared to previous administrations. Watching Obama then talking about transparency through the prism of 18 months of his being anything but, is quite the experience.

As you watch, see how many times you can remember White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs stonewalling the most basic of questions. The first example that came to my mind were his repeated refusals to address the alleged job offer to Pennsylvania Representative Joe Sestak. Of course, this administration's handling of the oil spill is another quintessential example of anti-transparency.
