Obama's transparency push could lead to more official Web resources, blogs
Carla Thornton, The Industry Standard, 01.22.2009
Did you ever think that your president was not being as truthful as he could be? Well, now you don't have to feel like that for a long, long time. On the first day of his presidency, Barack Obama promised to make things public as much as he can because he doesn't want to keep secrets from people. Marcia Hofmann, staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said, "On the whole, it's an incredibly positive development and in line with the guidelines we asked for." I agree. A president that keeps secrets doesn't make the people feel like he is trustworthy.
Meredith Fuchs, general counsel for the National Security Archive, said she "expects Obama to push e-mail and require agencies to post more information on their sites, including blogs."
I am so happy that Barack Obama is not keeping secrets like Bush was, and I hope he keeps his promise forever.

Easier said than done. Probably not, but this might be an attempt to make us less suspicious. However, this is still a great thing.
