Contrary to his promise, Barack Obama fails to disclose transition meetings

Why am I not surprised? Chicago Sun Times:

The Obama team, pledging the ”most open and transparent transition in history,” gets and ”A” for disclosing donors to the Jan. 20 inauguration and a ”F” when it comes to revealing transition meetings with groups. Contrary to its own ‘’seat at the table transparency policy,” meetings are not posted on a Web site.

During the presidential primary campaign, then candidate Obama, still an Illinois senator, made a pledge I heard for the first time on Oct. 24, 2007. In a school gym in Dover, N.H., Obama said if president, he would post his meetings on the Internet. That was interesting to me because Obama’s Senate staff had been very selective about what Obama Senate-related meetings they disclosed and seemed to be guided by a ”less is best” policy.

Let’s see how the Obamatons will justify this one…
