For a man who promised to head up the "most transparent administration in history," President Obama is sure going a long way to block you from accessing information.

The latest action has to do with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests - and Obama is taking great pains to make fulfilling them extremely difficult. Eliana Johnson reports for National Review:

Going forward, the memo stated, "sensitive information" requested under the Freedom of Information Act was to be reviewed not only by career FOIA officials but also by a committee of political appointees…and representatives from the public-affairs, legislative-affairs, and general counsel's office, before release.

…These actions run counter not just to the spirit and the letter of the Obama administration's pledge to unprecedented transparency, but also to the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act itself.
