Shhhh. It’s a secret meeting. <a href=”http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/06/reporters_banned_from_obamacli.html“>Lynn Sweet:

WASHINGTON—Reporters are banned from covering the meeting presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) are having Thursday night at the Mayflower Hotel here with Clinton’s best fund-raisers. It is their first joint appearance since Obama clinched the nomination. This event has everything to do with big money in politics yet the Obama campaign does not see any reason to at least include a pool reporter. […] Either you believe in transparency or you don’t. Transparency in government and political life is either natural to how you operate, what you believe, what the public has a right to know or it is just another political tactic.
