Across From White House, Coffee With Lobbyists
25th June 2010
Read it.
There are no Secret Service agents posted next to the barista and no presidential seal on the ceiling, but the Caribou Coffee across the street from the White House has become a favorite meeting spot to conduct Obama administration business.
But because the discussions are not taking place at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, they are not subject to disclosure on the visitors’ log that the White House releases as part of its pledge to be the “most transparent presidential administration in history.”
Politics, Chicago style.
How’s that hope and change thing working out for you? I guess the ‘hope’ is that they don’t get caught, and the ‘change’ is from the more honest way that previous Administrations have operated.
