He can even spin it by saying, "The critical economic emergencies that I inherited made it difficult to give you the American people the transparency you deserve, the transparency that has been so lacking for the past eight years. With key stimulus programs in effect, I announce today a new section of the whitehouse.gov site where legislation blahblahblah." I think the guest logs are trickier, and perhaps more important.

The only thing transparent about the wait is its symbolism. If you really wanna read what's in a bill before it gets signed, go to the Library of Congress Web site. It's there online from the day it gets introduced through the day the president signs it. I’m not too concerned about the 5-days promise. The only thing transparent about the wait is its symbolism.
