Tell me again about Obama media openness?

That part of the “Change” mantra is another that’s fallen by the wayside.

It began with President Barack Obama apparently deciding to ditch his campaign promise to post bills for public comment on the White House website for five days before signing them. That was more directed at the general public than the media, but would have put smaller outfits on a more even footing than the bigshots.

Now, though , Obama campaign manager David Plouffe holds an event at the National Press Club and says all his comments are off the record!

WTF.

Dana Milbank rips Plouffe up but good, including noting how he’s seemingly as bad as any Bushie at selling his name for money.
