Might it be that they need to keep things secret with greater effort than ever before because it's harder than ever to keep things secret?
Furthermore, Obama is a very image-conscious guy, so it's difficult to determine if he's sacrificing transparency in some regards for public image reasons or something else.
- Shivetya 13y agoimage conscious, control-freak, say what you will. There are many ways to view this issue. We are in a time where there are so many sources of information it is hard for governments to hide it from their people, the more unpopular one gets the more likely there will be people to uncover stuff. plus, we really didn't have this level of investigative ability before, whose to say Johnson, or even a war time President like Roosevelt didn't put more effort into it? Perhaps as a people we have finally grown up and realized its not all what we were lead to believe. All those off hand jokes about the "man" have some basis in truth. We're from the government, we're here to help. Funny how they know when and what.
