The “most transparent administration in history” has experienced another transparency “glitch.” At a fundraiser in Chicago Monday night, President Obama mentioned leaving some “unpaid bills” on his desk in Chicago when he moved to the White House after winning in 2008, a comment met with laughter by the crowd. The admission was mysteriously left out of the official White House transcript.

Here was the president’s original statement:

One of the nice things about being home is actually that it's a little bit like a time capsule. Because Michelle and I and the kids, we left so quickly that there’s still junk on my desk, including some unpaid bills (laughter) -- I think eventually they got paid -- but they're sort of stacked up. And messages, newspapers and all kinds of stuff.

As the Weekly Standard points out, the transcript provided by the White House omits the entire reference to the “unpaid bills”:

…there’s still junk on my desk, including some -- newspapers and all kinds of stuff.​

The stealth edit was caught by the White House pool reporters, one providing the full transcript “in the interest of transparency.” Speaking of transparency, earlier this year an AP study determined that the Obama administration was in fact the least transparent of any recent administration, censoring or denying over a third of all requested information from the press.
