Obama Promised Public Policy Negotiations. Secrecy Has Failed. So, Why Not Try YouTube

One universal silver lining to any abject failure is that it presents the opportunity to test out radically different ideas. President Obama has largely ignored his campaign promise to hold policy negotiations in public.
