Buzzfeed’s D.C. bureau chief John R. Stanton had a word or two to say Saturday about the Obama administration and transparency. Let’s listen in, shall we?
Hey flacks, ignoring me is the wrong thing to do when I come calling. makes me hate you and convinces me you have something to hide

Dear @HHSGov, Not sure what you think is about to happen but tell ken Wolfe he needs to respond to me. @PressSec will thank ya

Listen @PressSec if you want me to blow y'all up with no goddamn comment, keep letting @HHSGov act like fascist morons. Clock is ticking

Wonder if Jay Carney misses being @PressSec right about now?
17 years as a reporter, three administrations worth of flacks, and I can say with authority this one is the most difficult to deal with

But … transparency!
Remember when Sen Obama was all for transparency? Good times
