President Obama promised the most transparent administration ever.
But what he has delivered is the most closed administration ever--closed even to the reporters who have built careers fawning over his every utterance as a virtual fifth Gospel.
The press corps has believed they were special friends with President Obama. But as Truman said, if you want a friend in Washington, D.C., get a dog.
And President Obama just got a second dog.
Although be warned that as the shutdown heading on that White House page states ("Due to Congress’s failure to pass legislation to fund the government, the information on this web site may not be up to date. ..."), critical updates about the status of Sunny may not be available. The horror.
