White House Throttling Even Basic Federal Record Requests?
Most transparent administration...
A government watchdog group has sued 12 federal agencies for allegedly withholding emails and other documents, in the latest episode in which the Obama administration is being challenged over its transparency.
The conservative-leaning Cause of Action wants the documents in order to see whether agencies are being forced to channel basic public-information requests through the White House, so that politically sensitive material can be screened. The group filed the suit Monday in a District of Columbia federal court.

Obama wanted to be transparent, but the Obstrukkktionist Teathuglikkkants wouldn't let him. Worst congress evah!
Transparent means completely opaque. Duh!
You complainers just don't get it.
Transparency means you can't see anything.
Bracco Bama was telling the truth when he said he would have the most transparent administration evah.
