Representative Cliff Sterns, the sub-committee chairman, said: “What we
have learnt from our many investigations is that, time and again, the Obama
administration’s actions have failed to match the president’s lofty rhetoric
on transparency.”
The sub-committee did not accuse the White House of breaking the law but
rather of failing to live up to its own claim of being “the most open
and transparent administration in history”.
The White House declined to address the allegations directly, insisting that
Mr Obama worked with “unprecedented openness in government”.
In better news for the president, a new poll showed him leading his Republican
challenger Mitt Romney in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania, three major
battleground states.
A Quinnipac/New York Times/CBS poll found that while voters were
divided on whose policies would restore prosperity, Mr Obama remains
personally popular and is considered more in touch than Mr Romney. Voters in
all three states also gave him better marks than Mr Romney in terms of
handling health care and national security.
