Good Catch, Varg,
Over at The Chicory, Varg tells us what Obama was saying when the television camera closed in on Nagin:
With that in mind, some reporter should ask Nagin his opinion of an executive order that Obama issued today:
Might want to ask Mayor Transparency about these orders, as well:
And those of us who manage the public’s dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.
With that in mind, some reporter should ask Nagin his opinion of an executive order that Obama issued today:
President Barack Obama's first public act in office Wednesday was to institute new limits on lobbyists in his White House and to freeze the salaries of high-paid aides, in a nod to the country's economic turmoil.
Might want to ask Mayor Transparency about these orders, as well:
President Obama issued new orders today designed to improve the federal government's openness and transparency. The first memo instructs all agencies and departments to "adopt a presumption in favor" of Freedom of Information Act requests, while the second memo orders the director of the Office of Management and Budget to issue recommendations on making the federal government more transparent.
