“President Barack Obama met behind closed doors with energy executives Wednesday in a session the White House said was arranged to discuss the industry’s response to Hurricane Sandy last year and preparations for this year’s hurricane season, reports Poltico’s Josh Gerstein. The White House did not respond to queries from POLITICO about why the public and press were excluded from the discussion, which took place at the Energy Department. Gerstein reports that during Obama’s first bid for the White House, the freshman senator complained about then-Vice President Dick Cheney’s private meetings with energy industry representatives.”
