After my original post several weeks ago, I did indeed try to contact the White House people, but they have not responded to my request. As for additional examples, I have been posting them for weeks at www.epicjourney2008.com. Some have involved broadcast interviews, while others have taken more research to locate. There may well be still others that are offline. Before the current administration, the White House website was a pretty comprehensive source for the president's public utterances. Now it is less so.

I know watchdogging is cool and all, but you should try to help them revamp the site. Transparency isn't just automatically putting everything out there. Transparency is also responding to requests for additional info. As far as interviews are concerned, I would say that'd be the least likely thing I would put up there, but that's just me. There's far more important (and interesting) documentation that could be posted, I am sure, than some interview off ABC where Biden went off his talking points, as he's want to do. Additionally, that was on national television. You can find it on YouTube. Hard to be any more transparent than that. Try poking some holes in something they're actually trying to avoid--but as of right now it just feels like your grasping for straws. You want to say they they're not transparent but right now there's no story. Unless you have more examples. Have you forwarded your requests onto whitehouse.gov?
