Surely not the self-proclaimed "most transparent administration in history!" 
I wonder what Senator Obama would have said about the way President Obama is handling things? Remember when he was young and idealistic?
I personally doubt that Obama ever intended to be as transparent as he promised to be. He likely knew that he had a very short political track record so it would be difficult for his opponents and fact checkers to prove that he has a history of not being transparent. Remember that this tagline went away during the 2012 election cycle I wonder what Senator Obama would have said about the way President Obama is handling things? Remember when he was young and idealistic?
My perspective is I do believe he intended to be, but reality crashed the ideals he campaigned on. Once elected, a politician's main objective is to get reelected. All other concerns pale in comparison to this prime directive. That forces them to take actions that are anathema to what they campaigned on, but in their warped mind, they believe they are accomplishing the greater good. Dems/Repubs view the other side as evil; their ideas and their actions, while their party is the 'good' party. Therefore, all actions taken to stay in power to prevent the other side from enacting their 'bad ideas' are accomplishing the greater good.
I honestly believe all politicians think this way. It's how they justify to themselves the total hypocrites they become once elected.
