The Obama Administration... open?

Maybe she means it in an Orwellian sense - freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, opacity is transparency?

Is this meant to be a joke?!?

This is laughable given the fact that 80% of the $815 Billion Economic Recovery Act money has been spent and the economy is still in a depressed state. And, no one knows where all of that money went. If they are so open to input from us then why, after 61% of us said we don't want Obama's medical care overhaul, did they do everything they could to force it down our throats? Open my ass!!
