Yes, Obama's White House is more secretive than Bush's - The Week
The Week freely admits that the Obama Administration, the one that promised to be the most transparent administration in US History, is far more secretive than Bush's administration. However, it still bashes Bush. Saying that Bush increased lack of transparency over Clinton, and would have been far more secretive if it had the spying and technological capabilities that Obama has (and chooses to implement) today.
It is a Bush world for eternity. Obama is merely a puppet incapable of making his own decisions to the invisible hands of Bush's legacy pulling the strings.

At a recent event at the New America Foundation, journalists and historians challenged Carney, arguing that this White House has been more secret than previous occupants.
"Increasingly, the Obama White House has become so brittle, and so controlling of the message, that people are afraid to respond to me," said Kimberly Dozier, a former Associated Press reporter. She was one of the journalists whose phone records were obtained by the Department of Justice last spring during its investigation into a leak of classified information about a failed Al-Qaeda plot. The scope of that investigation, some critics said, was unprecedented overreach.
