If one were to actually read loving articles that they post, one would find that the White House stopped releasing information from the Office of Administration during Bush's presidency, and due to court proceedings, they haven't been for nearly 8 years. Them removing the lists of tasks for a process they no longer use seems reasonable.

I don't agree with it, but sensationalist news is sensationalist news and I figured I'd put my two-cents in.

forget, I remember reading that in the article.

It isn't right, though. Considering Obama assured that he would focus on transparency in the government, it is blatant lying.
It is something people should be able to ask for.

Basically every politician. Makes a bunch of promises they will never fulfill and slander peoples names, then proceed to conveniently forget about the things they campaigned for.

If a (representative) democracy is unable to see what their government is doing then the power goes from the people to the government on terms of knowledge.
