As Twitchy reported, still photography will be allowed during today’s Obama-Biden lunch date. Plenty of people thought the timing was suspect, as portions of former SecDef Robert Gates’ new book, which is quite critical of Obama and Biden, made the rounds yesterday. But the White House wants to assure all skeptics that the cameras will purely be around for transparency purposes. Because Obama promised a transparent presidency, and doggone it, he makes good on his promises!
WH official: Cams at Obama Biden lunch not tied to Gates: "we opened up the lunch… to make good on our promise to provide more access"

Unfortunately, nobody seems to be buying what the White House is selling. We can’t imagine why that would be.

@jimacostacnn @edmorrissey Psst "opening up a lunch" is meaningless twaddle.

Transparency. Suuuuuure.
WH allowing TV camera in Obama/Biden lunch photo op – but no reporters to ask questions.
