On Obama Claiming to Have the Most Transparent Administration in History

Yeah, there are definitely some people who disagree with that. a) Reporters Without Borders - "Serious downgrade.......Obama worse than Bush."............b) James Risen - "The greatest enemy of press freedom in at least a generation."............c) David Sanger - "This is the most closed, control freak administration that I've ever covered."............d) Margaret Sullivan - "It's turning out to be the administration of unprecedented secrecy and unprecedented attacks on a free press."............e) Richard McGregor - "Covering this White House is pretty miserable in getting anything of substance to report on."............f) Ann Compton - "He is the least transparent of the seven Presidents I've covered in terms of how he does his daily business."............g) Josh Gerstein - "If it's a story that they don't want to come out (the fact that there was never a protest outside the embassy in Benghazi and they knew it, for example), they won't even give you the basic facts."............h) Josh Meyer - "There is an across the board hostility to the media.......They feel entitled to and expect supportive media coverage."............Just to quote a few, folks.
