TRANSPARENCY

Another treasure from Kevin Underhill in"Lowering the Bar" 

The year was 2012

Mar. 30:

President Barack Obama receives an award from the organizers

of the Freedom of Information Day Conference, presented

at the White House by advocates of government transparency. The

media is not invited to the event, which is not listed on the President’s

calendar, takes place behind closed doors, and is not transcribed.

“The irony is,” one participant says, “that everything the

President said [about transparency] was spot-on. I wish people

had heard what he had to say.”

   
(In my opinion, government transparency is an    illusion.  We hear a lot of great sounding words,
but do they mean what we hear?  Or something else...I'm just sayin'.) 

Til next time
