Story #6: Obama Emerges to Accept Openness Award
RUSH: This is from the Politico. Let me get to the stack, here. I've spoken about it all day, the rising tide of concern over lack of leadership from, ahem, President Obama.
The first story is from The Politico. Now, I had to read this three times to make sure I didn't miss something, like this is April 1st or something and I've been asleep for three weeks. The headline of the story: "Obama Flaunts Openness Award -- President Obama’s only event at the White House that isn’t closed to the press on Wednesday is a ceremony in which he’ll accept an award for being open to the press. According to his public schedule, Obama has four behind-closed-doors meetings from 10 a.m. to 3:05 p.m.: his daily briefing, a talk with the USAID administrator, a session with senior advisers, and a huddle with his defense secretary.
"All of the meets are in the Oval Office, and all of them are 'closed press,' the White House says. But at 2:55 p.m., Obama will emerge to 'accept an award from a coalition of good government groups and transparency advocates to recognize "his deep commitment to an open and transparent government -- of, by, and for the people" in conjunction with Sunshine Week.'" So a guy who's not transparent, a guy who is not open, a guy with four closed press meetings today is emerging to get an award for being open. Now, we're not supposed to laugh at this?
This is a comedy of errors.
