Today's word is transparency.
This is how the Obamamunists operate in a transparent government......
It takes a certain amount of nerve to have an event at the National Press Club and then ban the press from covering it.It takes another level of chutzpah entirely to admit members of the general public to your event at the National Press Club, recruit a news organization as the co-sponsor and then tell the press they can't cover it.
But that's exactly what former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe and Georgetown University did yesterday.
Plouffe was listed as the keynote speaker at the luncheon yesterday for "Transition 2009," sponsored by Georgetown University and Politico. The public was invited to the event -- students free of charge and everybody else for a fee. But at the last minute, Georgetown announced that Plouffe's speech would be "closed press," even though the speech was being given in the National Press Club ballroom, described on a plaque at the door as "the sanctum sanctorum of American journalists."
National Press Club President Donna Leinwand fired off an e-mail to Plouffe and his agents stating her "strong opposition" to the press banishment from its own club. "If Mr. Plouffe wants to keep secrets," she said, "Mr. Plouffe should stay at home."
I find it hilarious that people in the media are bitching and moaning about this. What did they expect from a leftist.
Do you think Hugo and Fidel allow free press in their respective communist regimes?
It's always amazed me that journalists are leftists. They spent this whole campaign blowing Obama and now that he's got his happy ending he throws them a towel and tells them to clean it up.
And now they're surprised? What did they expect? This is standard operating procedure for lefties.
More bogus outrage here....
