White House press secretary Jay Carney is asked about President Obama’s record on transparency and if he would release his college transcripts at some point. Carney dismisses this request as a “Donald Trump question” and refers the reporter to the campaign for an answer. …Now hold up just a dang minute, Mr. Carney. President Obama, both as a candidate and as the leader of The Most Transparent Administration Evah, has been a far cry from what any reasonable person would call an “open book” — but way to try and dismiss the question by bringing in the almost universally agreed upon blustering bombast of Donald Trump.
“I think the president’s record of unprecedented levels of transparency in the White House is well established,” Carney said at today’s briefing. “His record as a candidate, both when he ran for the Senate, when he ran for the president in 2008 and now as a candidate for reelection, in terms of transparency, is a sold one and reflects a long tradition being an open book, as I think he described it when he was asked this question not long ago. That’s part of the process.”
Nevermind that the mainstream media gave candidate Obama a stupendously negligent vetting prior to the 2008 election. The real issue is that transparency, to President Obama, is just another in a long line of broken campaign promises. Funnily enough, I’m going to go ahead and let CNN handle this one.
