All that talk about being open and upfront with Americans just flew out the window didn't it?

Well, Obama has opened every window in the White House and has started throwing every campaign promise he made out. So why not that one?

Remember, talk is cheap, especially when its on the campaign trail. Backing up the talk is always hard. Of course, the old rule of thumb might come into play:
