Hope and Change (well, not so much of the latter)

The Obama administration is apparently fighting CREW to keep lists of visitors to the White House confidential, a policy that goes back to 2006. Now, I don't really disagree with the administration's position here, especially where national security is concerned, but check out White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs continuing to make noted imbecile Scott McClellan look like an oratorical genius:

"The goal is, and I think the president underscored his commitment to transparency on his first full day in office," Gibbs said. "This is not a contest between this administration or that administration or any administration. It's to uphold the principle of open government."

Um, yeah, see, the administration you work for has consistently tried to paint itself as more transparent than the eeeeeevil Chimpy McBu$hitler regime while, at the same time, quietly keeping a lot of the same policies of that administration. The very same policies Obama decried while he was out on the stump. Funny, that.

Like I said, I don't really disagree with the policy, but this smacks of rank hypocrisy. You can't have it both ways. Well, unless you've got most of the MSM eating out of your hand.
