"I don't think that means what you think it means."

Only His Imperial Majesty Barack Hussein Obama would campaign for office on openness and transparency, and hold a "workshop" on government openness--that was closed to the public.

The AP reports:

PROMISES, PROMISES: A closed meeting on openness
By SHARON THEIMER, Associated Press Writer Sharon Theimer, Associated Press Writer 1 min ago

WASHINGTON – It's hardly the image of transparency the Obama administration wants to project: A workshop on government openness is closed to the public.

The event Monday for federal employees is a fitting symbol of President Barack Obama's uneven record so far on the Freedom of Information Act, a big part of keeping his campaign promise to make his administration the most transparent ever. As Obama's first year in office ends, the government's actions when the public and press seek information are not yet matching up with the president's words.

It seems as though every day serves up fresh proof that Obamaworld is all about form over substance.
