And now we bid a fond farewell to any pretense of transparency in the Obama administration. The One, who came into office claiming that his would be the most transparent administration in history, has now officially eliminated the job of the man who was in charge of it. Transparency, that is.
The Washington Examiner has the opaque details:
President Obama has abolished the position in his White House dedicated to transparency and shunted those duties into the portfolio of a partisan ex-lobbyist who is openly antagonistic to the notion of disclosure by government and politicians.
Obama transferred “ethics czar” Norm Eisen to the Czech Republic to serve as U.S. ambassador. Some of Eisen’s duties will be handed to Domestic Policy Council member Steven Croley, but most of them, it appears, will shift over to the already-full docket of White House Counsel Bob Bauer.
Got that? Transparency is now the responsibility of Obama’s attorney. And you know how transparent attorneys are.
