He was talking about things happening within government and giving more open opinions on things without being so guarded and pre-written like other politicians feel like when they speak.
This happens due to the media's propensity for finding a story in the smallest insinuations. It is not in a politician's best interests to speak freely if the local mainstream-media socialist newspaper will crucify him before his constituents and thus affect his chances of being reelected.

I do not particularly like Obama, simply for the reason that the media fellates him for no reason that I am able to discern other than the simple fact that he is black and has not said anything ridiculously stupid yet. His "honest smile" does not compel me to support him.
