By Joseph Curl President Obama, who pledged to establish the most open and transparent administration in history, on Monday surpasses his predecessor’s record for avoiding a full-fledged question-and-answer session with White House reporters in a formal press conference. President George W. Bush’s longest stretch between prime-time, nationally televised press conferences was 214 days, from...
