the press at his fundraisers? http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0810/40669.html

I'm sure that he isn't striking any sort of shady deals at these private "fundraisers" that cost $30k per ticket..... I'm sure he has NOTHING to hide.
 
Well, he doesn't pass bills at 3 a.m. in the morning on the weekend so the opposition can't vote against it. No Child Left Behind and the Senior Medicare act were both passed this way.

Rarely are the press invited to fund raisers.

Their donors like anonymity which is something Obama is trying to stop.
 
And don't forget the backroom deals. That just screams transparency.
 
Clearly you know not what being transparent in politics means.

Look it up. Remember that it is better to have the world think you don't know what you are talking about than to open your mouth and leave no doubt.

Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. Transparent procedures include open meetings, financial disclosure statements, freedom of information legislation, budgetary review, audits, etc.

A fund raising is a private matter, what happens on the meetings that will lead to a political policy of some sort should be transparent though.
