Obama Refusing To Release White House Visitor Logs

Bush did it too, but wasn’t Obama supposed to usher in hope ‘n change? Not to mention government transparency?
Guess those were just things he said to get elected.

The Obama administration is fighting to block access to names of visitors to the White House, taking up the Bush administration argument that a president doesn’t have to reveal who comes calling to influence policy decisions. Despite President Barack Obama’s pledge to introduce a new era of transparency to Washington, and despite two rulings by a federal judge that the records are public, the Secret Service has denied msnbc.com’s request for the names of all White House visitors from Jan. 20 to the present.

Two rulings from a federal judge stating that these records are public, and still Obama won’t comply.
I guess King Obama is above the law.

    Two rulings from a federal judge stating that these records are public, and still Obama won’t comply.

    Historically, the federal judiciary has, most of the time, given the executive branch fairly wide latitude when it comes to secrecy.

    So who is the boogy man Obama is talking to? Or just more crying.

    What’s he trying to hide? At least we knew when Clinton had Arafat over for dinner and a sleepover.

    It has to make you wonder if his buddies like Ayers or Wright dropped in. Maybe it was Farrakhan. I would be very curious who he has been meeting with, although I just have a feeling that I’ll be sick when I find out.

    Hum so much for transparency. OBAMA is a joke. Sounds like the old Soviet Union.

    Who ever is not allowing access to the records should be arrested for contempt of court(clear breach of check and balances). If it is Obama, he should be impeached and removed from office as nobody is above the law, unless they are the king. Ahhh crap.

    This might be a little slight of hands. The administration wants people to concentrate on this issue while health care and cap’n trade gets passed quietly. I don’t think it will work but who knows.

    Why don’t we hear/read about this in the MSM or left wing blogs who were so admant and outraged over VP Cheney and his group of oil men who came to visit.

    Remember all the hatred from Olberman and MSNBC, CNN and others over that. Why is there no outrage over this from the same groups?

    Just more blatant hypocrisy from a prez who held himself up to a public who held him up as the secular messiah. The disillusionment will only continue. As of now we’re not a full six months into his administration and he’s easily got more peccadilloes than Carter did after a year. At this rate Carter should be looking like Reagan in another six months.

    He’s truly way ahead of schedule and I for one welcome his continued failures. Now if only conservatives can stop tilting at windmills of inane extremities and get back to a moral and ethical center that doesn’t involve self-conscious separating from the ultra-Christian brigades but not kowtowing to them either.

    Moral and ethical reasoning flat out is what we need, based on obvious experience and rational consideration of what we see. Else, we’ll be tied down forever with horseshit from the left about morals and ethics being about forcing a conception of G-d on them, like some of the neolibertarian brigades, and their idiot two state thinking defaults to the opposite being amorality.

    That way lies the same shit, different day, and more of the left trying to do self-therapy for their neuroses by using everyone and everything as props in their plays.
