“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

The. Most. Transparent. Administration. EVAH.

"Do Democrats really want a fight over transparency?"

Apparently so:
...Six weeks ago, Politico quoted Washington attorney Katherine Meyer, who has worked FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] cases for over 30 years, and her assessment of the Obama administration:
“Obama is the sixth administration that’s been in office since I’ve been doing Freedom of Information Act work. … It’s kind of shocking to me to say this, but of the six, this administration is the worst on FOIA issues. The worst. There’s just no question about it,” said Katherine Meyer, a Washington lawyer who’s been filing FOIA cases since 1978. “This administration is raising one barrier after another. … It’s gotten to the point where I’m stunned — I’m really stunned.”

The Obama Administration, who lives the motto "What's good for me is not for thee!"
