Mark who? Why, CBS’ Mark Knoller, of course! Knoller has been giving President Obama the business over his administration’s transparency … or lack thereof. He continued noting the actions of the most transparent administration evah on Thursday.
Its the 3rd & final day of Pres Obama's west coast fundraising trip. He's got one more DNC event today in L.A. Closed to press coverage.

Of 40 fundraisers this year by Pres Obama, 17 were closed to press; 20 were print pool coverage for remarks, not Q&A; 3 allowed TV coverage.

But what cemented his “national treasure” status? Well, this happened:
"I did bust a move," & Pres Obama said singer Janelle Monae has the only video of it. "She can blackmail me at any time," he told DNC event.

Good grief. Knoller couldn’t let that one pass.
It's the only time a US president has publicly uttered the phrase "bust a move," that I can find. Still checking Zachary Taylor archives.

Yes. And we have to laugh so we don’t cry!
@markknoller Pretty sure Reagan said it that time he bombed Libya

@markknoller Obama holds other milestones as well. Like the first president to make fun of disabled people on live tv

But speaking of crying …
@markknoller @TzviZucker Mazal tov, Mark. You discovered Obama's true legacy.
Of course, his grand opus is "bust a country."— Michael Podwill (@MichaelPodwill) July 24, 2014
