Obama closes curtain on transparency

(SNIP!!)


President Obama has abolished the position in his White House dedicated to transparency and shunted those duties into the portfolio of a partisan ex-lobbyist who is openly antagonistic to the notion of disclosure by government and politicians.

Obama transferred "ethics czar" Norm Eisen to the Czech Republic to serve as U.S. ambassador. Some of Eisen's duties will be handed to Domestic Policy Council member Steven Croley, but most of them, it appears, will shift over to the already-full docket of White House Counsel Bob Bauer.

(SNIP: But a good read. See the whole article.)

As with his other reformer rhetoric, Obama's transparency is mostly smoke and mirrors.

Timothy P. Carney is The Washington Examiner's lobbying editor. His K Street column appears on Wednesdays
