The Obama administration's housing department is asking lobbyists to sign nondisclosure agreements as a condition of participating in meetings, Politico reports:

"How can they go around and pat themselves on the back as the most transparent administration in history and then turn around and ask lobbyists to sign nondisclosure agreements to keep their meetings secret," said a lobbyist whose organization was at the Feb. 4 meeting. "It's like extortion. We're not going to be able to do our jobs unless we have secret meetings with them."
