Obama Gets Transparency Award ... in Secret Ceremony

Award is for openness, but meeting was definitely closed

(NEWSER) - Politico already seemed a little peeved that President Obama was to be presented with a “transparency” award (considering, as the site pointed out in a March 16 story , “his administration acted on fewer requests for information last year even as it was asked for more”), but then things got even weirder … when the award was presented in a hush-hush closed-door meeting. Monday’s event came almost two weeks after the first planned ceremony, which was to be open to the press, was canceled. More»

Hillary protests that she wants to make her mark on the State Department. "The country needs you!" Clinton counters. "The country needs us!" More»

Maureen Dowd thinks Republicans have a bout of 'mass misogyny'

(NEWSER) - On Saturday, Hillary Clinton took a resounding shot at Republicans. "Why extremists always focus on women remains a mystery to me," she said. "It doesn't matter what country they're in or what religion they claim. They want to control women." Clinton isn't supposed to get involved in domestic politics, "but this was a moment pregnant with possibility," writes Maureen Dowd of the New York Times . "The attempt by Republican men to wrestle American women back into chastity belts … has roused and riled Hillary." More»
