Openness. Transparency. Collaboration.

"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." -- The Obama White House

Less than 48 hours after his election, the Obama transition team rolled out the new Change.gov website.

Yet more than three weeks after announcing a forthcoming revamp of his Ethics website, it remains under construction.


For a group that's tried to push through the most massive spending package in world history -- without giving citizens a chance to review it -- I have a one word reaction to the missing ethics page.

Fitting.
