DEMS: So what happened to the promise of a transparent government?

Obama promised repeatedly during his campaign and even since, that nothing would be done in secret in his term of office. Amazing how we have how been subject to under-the-table deals and a now a closed door session (of only Democrats) to finalize a health care bill that most of the country does not want passed anyway.

Are you disappointed in THE CHOSEN ONE or embarrassed in any way?

Update:

I know libs will be whining and wanting a "link" so try this one...

    Obama has yet to go to the Supreme Court to keep it a secret who he even meets with. He doesn't hold the record for classifying the most documents of any President in history. He hasn't "lost" thousands of e-mails. Comparatively speaking the Obama administration is pretty transparent.

    Obama is the President. He has no control over how Congress does business. C-span has already shown literally hundreds of hours of Health Care Debate. Congress is still far more open than it was a little over three years ago.

    Did you hear that President Obama has issued an executive order to declassify documents? It will make the gov't more transparent than it's ever been;

    Why should the government be transparent. They have a role to play and we should notice the efforts that are being made.

    He never promised that nothing would be done in secret. Nobody running for president would ever promise that. Think about it.
