Barack Obama was elected commander in chief promising to run the most transparent presidential administration in American history.This achievement and the overall promise of his historic administration caused the National Newspaper Publishers Assn. to name him "Newsmaker of the Year."
The president is to receive the award from the federation of black community newspapers in a White House ceremony this afternoon.
The Obama White House has closed the press award ceremony to the press.
I'm curious -- what is The One trying to hide here? the fact that he is newsworthy? The fact that he got an award? The fact that it is from a black organization? I just don't get it -- this is the sort of non-controversial photo-op type of thing that the White House Press Office ought to be opening up for the media. It would be a feel-good story.
I wonder -- could Obama's teleprompter have a prior engagement?
