Most transparent White House ever...

Police chased reporters away from the White House and closed Lafayette Park today in response to a gay rights protest in which several service members in full uniform handcuffed themselves to the White House gate to protest "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
People who have covered the White House for years tell me that's an extremely unusual thing to do in an area that regularly features protests.
A reporter can be seen in the YouTube video above calling the move "outrageous" and "ridiculous."
UPDATE: The Parks Police eventually relented, and allowed the press back.

Doesn't shock or suprise me at all. What will shock and suprise me is if we were to find out bho actually kept one of his major campaign promises, especially pertaining to the "culture of corruption".

This administration is about as transparent as the black of night, with no starlight to guide you. Corrupt Chicago style politics at every turn.
