"Obama receives award for openness — in private
WASHINGTON — President Obama accepted an award for making the government more open and transparent — presented to him behind closed doors with no media coverage.
The discrepancy between the honor and the circumstances under which it was delivered bothered open-government advocates in attendance, they said yesterday. “To have such a meeting not be transparent is the height of irony. How absurd can that be?’’ said Gary Bass of OMB Watch, which keeps tabs on the White House Office of Management and Budget.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that, “Given the number of pressing items on the president’s agenda, the White House didn’t carve out time for a public event on the president’s schedule for the sole purpose of accepting an award from journalists praising his commitment to government transparency.’’
I can NOT THINK of a MORE WORTHLESS AWARD!
