Obama's Closed Meeting on Open Government???

In the "I can't make this stuff up" department, the Obama administration, having previously pledged to be the most "transparent" administration in history, will be conducting a workshop for government agencies concerning their obligations under the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The meeting is closed to the public.

The AP/Google News report is here.

That's actually not that unusual. In fact, it's quite common under the circumstances. But hopefully you already knew that and were just bringing it up to make a snarky comment about Obama's promise to have the most "transparent" administration.

All snark aside, compared to previous administrations, Obama has been the most transparent in his first year. And I imagine we'll continue to see that in his second.
