Early in his administration President Obama pledged to "usher in a new era of open government."
The president's commitment is summed up at
(http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/TransparencyandOpenGovernment) :
"My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government."
Now in his second term, the president should make a speech, give an interview, or make a detailed statement, focusing on how he believes he has implimented this goal, what challenges he has faced in this area, and what his commitment means for the future.
