Obama’s broken promise

Glenn Greenwald is good at highlighting government hypocrisy, no matter where it originates:

Regarding Obama’s refusal to disclose the identity of health care executives meeting in the White House, TPM’s David Kurtz notes:  "It’s an especially painful continuation of Bush policies since candidate Obama promised to let CSPAN in to cover the creation of a health care bill and his campaign website still promises transparency in meetings between White House staff and outside interests." 

There are certain times when Obama betrays the spirit of his promises and other times when he betrays both the spirit and letter.  This seems quite clearly to be an example of the latter.
