Does anyone remember how Obongo denounced the Bush administration for having held "secret energy meetings" with oil executives at the White House and how he pledged pledged to usher in a "new era" of openess. Well, last week he met secretly with coal executives to discuss "clean coal" policies. Freedom of Information Act requests for Secret Service logs showing the identities of coal executives were denied by thew White House because "the disclosure of such records might impinge on privileged 'presidential communications.'". Whatever.

This hypocrisy reminds me of how he attacked McCain for wanting to tax healthcare (it was a lie) and now he himself is proposing to tax healthcare. It's like the pot calling the kettle negro.
