White House scrubs Obama transparency award ceremony
The Hill
The White House announced Wednesday it has postponed a ceremony for President Obama to accept transparency award from a government watchdog group.
The event was scrubbed due to scheduling changes, according to a White House pool report, and is supposed to be rescheduled.
Obama was scheduled to accept an award from the Freedom of Information Day Conference recognizing, “his deep commitment to an open and transparent government—of, by, and for the people,” according to press guidance.
The right-leaning Drudge Report played up the award ceremony Wednesday on its site under the headline, “All WH events Wednesday ‘closed press’ — except for ceremony praising Obama’s ‘commitment to transparent government’…”
A pool spray was scheduled to cover the top of the event.
Obama had four closed-to-the-press meetings scheduled prior to when he was supposed to be receiving his transparency award.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
BWAHAHA! LMAO! GREAT, he can put it on his “things I didn’t earn” wall, next to the Nobel peace prize.
The right-leaning Drudge Report played up the award ceremony Wednesday on its site under the headline, “All WH events Wednesday ‘closed press’ — except for ceremony praising Obama’s ‘commitment to transparent government’…”
Drudge played up the hypocracy by noting the president’s schedule of “closed” conferences.
Rush Limbaugh talked about this yesterday too. hahahha
We are living in Bizzaro World = up is down, black is white, good is evil, evil is good. Obama and his so called “administration” are as transparent as a 20 foot thick, 1000 foot high wall of case hardened steel.
LOL even the MSM journalists have been complaining recently that Obama is NOT answering questions.
“The White House postponed an event scheduled for Wednesday afternoon where President Obama was supposed to receive an award for a commitment to transparency due to unspecified “changes to the president’s schedule.”
It will probably be rescheduled to an undisclosed time and location. heh heh
