Obama Sides With Bush Administration In Emails Case
Today must be “Bush was right” day for Obama. First The One sides with Bush on terror detainees. Now he’s taking Bush’s view of executive privilege on White House emails.
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration, siding with former President George W. Bush, is trying to kill a lawsuit that seeks to recover what could be millions of missing White House e-mails.
Two advocacy groups suing the Executive Office of the President say that large amounts of White House e-mail documenting Bush’s eight years in office may still be missing, and that the government must undertake an extensive recovery effort. They expressed disappointment that Obama’s Justice Department is continuing the Bush administration’s bid to get the lawsuits dismissed.
Hope and change!
