So much for "transparency"

This just in from Politico:
Obama's promise of openness and transpency from the White House is already being called into question as Obama did all this:
*shut down his predecessor’s system for reviewing regulations
*realigned and expanded two key White House policymaking bodies
*extended economic sanctions against parties to the conflict in the African nation of Cote D’Ivoire.
without the White House Press Corps ever mentioning it. Politico explains that this was because

...they were never announced by the White House Press Office and were never placed on the White House web site.

When Politico inquired about some documents that were missing from the White House website, spokesman Ben LaBolt apparently said that “It was a simple oversight,”.

I'm not saying that the things Obama did that were never released to the Press were bad, or shady, I just feel that a man who ran his campaign on a promise of openness needs to be extremely careful about keeping that promise. I don't think people would really make a big deal out of this if he hadn't made so many promises. He set himself up for this criticism, though I'm glad there is this criticism, as it should keep the administration in check and constantly on their toes.
