Transparency

Apparently "Openness" and "Transparency" mean something different in the Obama White House. The video below is from a press conference in which Chip Reid (with the help of Helen Thomas) debate the legitimacy of an upcoming 'Town Hall' meeting in which the audience is pre-screened (invited) and the tech-savvy questions (twitter and facebook) come through a screening process before they reach the President.

I think Obama should just ask himself questions.

Good call, Peter. That way they don't have to bother screening attendees, attendees' questions, twitter and fb.
