Just like clockwork, the Obama administration never misses an opportunity to unload thousands of records it hopes no one will ever bother sifting through during the holidays.

On Black Friday, the White House released more visitor log info — trumpeting disclosures it has fought tooth and nail.

I’ve started looking through the data. And you can, too, right here:

[Nachum]

Thank you, Michelle Malkin, for catching this!

Like the watcher over Israel, Michelle neither slumbers nor sleeps in her marvelous quest to catch our nefarious President at his games.

Michelle, you are a national treasure!

[Jukeman]

PING me! Thanks.

Oh...that makes sense. It does sound like the guest list for a Mexican wedding, complete with Mariachi band.

interesting bedfellows - ping

[Marine_Uncle]

I'm shot. 2:55AM EST my time. Been on the Internet for some twelve hours. CSPAN videos, here, elsewhere. My brain is soaked with Chianti. My bones are stiff. I clicked on the referenced web site...... my brain moaned... not your fault bitt.... :) I'll just take the word of the poster and your ping that the asshole commie in the White House has had all kinds of riff raft... sundry commie and far left how do we say socialist progressives, and other criminals, industrialist and bankers who give a shit less about how the American Republic turns out, crawl through the White House entrance over a sustained period of time to meet with all the commies and those that swear they are not full Bolshevik kinds of commies but just far left socialist (Communist or a nice derivation Marxist).
Don't quiz me on my evaluation of what was shown at the site. I feel like New Kirk at the switch board at Stalag 13, when he intercepted the boards to tell Klink, Major Hostetter that the war was over.... then fell off his bench as he sipped a final glass of booze...... :)
Do have a great upcoming day. To give you a feel for my current condition before I logged off for the errrrr morning... let me share this with you...

An ex-con makes almost 60 visits to the White House, I can see why Obama fought to keep the logs hidden

Robert Creamer

From:

Was Obamacare designed for 'distribution of wealth'? - Blueprint urged 'creation' of crisis to push radical plan

While in prison, he wrote a book titled "How Progressives Can Win."

Obama's chief adviser, David Axelrod, touted Creamer's book as providing "a blueprint for future victories," including on health care.

His book was endorsed by other leading Democrats and by Andy Stern, a close ally of the president who as head of the Service Employees International Union had visited the White House more than any other individual.

"The Manchurian President" found that during Creamer's trial, more than 200 people provided letters of support to the court on Creamer's behalf, including Axelrod and Carol Browner, who is now Obama's energy czar.

[Mamzelle]

Isn’t he married to the hideous Anita Dunn?

[Mamzelle]

Isn’t he married to the hideous Anita Dunn?

[opentalk]

more from link (wnd):

A section of Creamer's book, titled
"Progressive Agenda for Structural Change,"
laid out the blueprint for a national health-care plan and recommended the president create a "national consensus that the health-care system is in crisis."

Other Creamer recommendations include:

-"We must create a national consensus that health care is a right, not a commodity; and that government must guarantee that right."

-"Our messaging program over the next two years should focus heavily on reducing the credibility of the health-insurance industry and focusing on the failure of private health insurance."

-We need not agree in advance on the components of a plan, but we must foster a process that can ultimately yield consensus."

"We must focus especially on the mobilization of the labor movement and the faith community."

Creamer's plan, written in 2006, explicitly proposed that it be carried out in 2009, once a "progressive Democrat is elected President" and once Democrats could count on 60 votes in the Senate.

What did Obama know about Fast and Furious- and when did he know it?:

"RED ALERT: Deputy A.G. behind 'Fast and Furious' met with President Obama four times during the height of the operation

..."Item 1: In March of 2011, President Obama denied knowledge of 'Operation Fast and Furious' -- the Justice Department program that sent thousands of murder weapons to Mexican drug cartels...

Item 2: According to documents obtained by the House Judiciary Committee, Deputy Attorney General Gary Grindler was keenly aware of all aspects of Operation Fast and Furious as early as March 2010...

...Item 3: Newly released White House Visitor Logs list Grindler as having visited the White House 40 times, but only four times with the President himself. All four meetings with the President occurred over a two-week period, between 7 May 2010 and 19 May 2010. According to The Los Angeles Times, these dates just so happened to represent the run-up to "the height of [Operation] Fast and Furious"..

He is married to Illinois Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky

she was involved in her own scandal

Schakowsky implicated in lesbian affair with Turkish spy

[opentalk]

Wow! Wonder what the current status is with Fast & Furious. They need a special prosecutor and criminal charges.

[Nachum]

Thanks for the link. I posted it on my website and at Twitter.

[presently no screen name]

Great. Thanks!

That’s some good info if these candidates would take and run with it. It may shake up some dems.

Amazing how many muslim names there are buried down in the second list (1/4 of the way down the dump).

[opentalk]

Interesting from your link: Regarding Gary Grindler, the then-Deputy Attorney General and currently Holder's Chief of Staff, meetings with POTUS

Summary: In early 2010, Gary Grindler was intimately involved in all aspects of Operation Fast and Furious. During the height of the operation, Grindler visited the President on four separate occasions in only two weeks -- his only documented meetings with the president at the White House

[mojitojoe]

I never did believe he Rahm went to Africa on a planned family vacation. We all know why he really went there.... to do cleanup and take care of some pay offs.

[opentalk]

from Issa letter to Holder about lying to Congress in May

Issa to Holder: “You Own Fast and Furious”

...Gary Grindler, the then-Deputy Attorney General and currently your Chief of Staff, received an extremely detailed briefing on Operation Fast and Furious on March 12, 2010...

...At the time of his briefing in March of last year, Grindler knew that Patino had purchased 313 weapons and paid for all of them in cash. Unlike Melson, Grindler clearly saw nothing wrong with this. If Grindler had had the sense to shut this investigation down right then, he could have prevented the purchase of an additional 407 weapons by Patino alone. Instead, Grindler did nothing to stop the program.

Following this briefing, it is clear that Grindler did one of two things. Either, he alerted you to the name and operational details of Fast and Furious, in which case your May 3, 2011 testimony in front of Congress was false; or, he failed to inform you of the name and the operational details of Fast and Furious, in which case Grindler engaged in gross dereliction of his duties as Acting Deputy Attorney General. It is fair to infer from the fact that Grindler remains as your Chief of Staff that he did not engage in gross dereliction of his duties and told you about the program as far back as March of 2010.

[mojitojoe]

He was being taught how to lie and told what to say if asked, informed that he would be thrown under the bus and told what would happen if he didn’t like it.

[Qbert]

Thanks Nachum.

[mojitojoe]

Amazing how many muslim names there are buried down in the second list (1/4 of the way down the dump).

I noticed that too. Need to research who they are and why they may have been there.

[opentalk]

Talk about lying, Obama is the King.

from March 22, 2011 Obama interview with CNN Espanol about the operation.

..BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:

There have been problems, you know. I heard on the news about this story that -- Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico, and ATF knew about it, but didn't apprehend those who had sent it.

Eric Holder has -- the attorney general has been very clear that he knew nothing about this. We had assigned an I.G., inspector general, to investigate it.

The video clip was removed from article link

[opentalk]

From a reference link in the article. Obama fought to keep these records private.

In addition to his court fight, Remember last month he also floated the idea to change FOIA rules to allow lying.

(Obama Justice Dept. wants regulation to allow it to lie on FOIA requests

These records should be given extra scrutiny. The (old)MSM will not do it.

Obama administration appeals ruling on White House visitor logs (Oct 2011)

The Obama administration is appealing a judge's ruling that Secret Service records of visitors to the White House complex are subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Justice Department filed a formal notice of appeal Friday afternoon regarding U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell's August ruling rejecting arguments that the so-called WAVES records belong to the White House even though they are maintained and used by the Secret Service.

The decision to appeal the ruling to the D.C. Circuit would appear to be in tension with Obama's repeated pledges to operate the most transparent administration in history.

[mojitojoe]

They may have removed it from the link, but I have it. I download everything now, save it 2 times to separate external hard drives. If it gets scrubbed from one site, I immediately find it and save it before they can scrub the others. I learned during the campaign in 2007-2008 that there was a massive campaign underway to scrub the internet of any dirt on “the won”.

[opentalk]

Great, They went to great lengths to try and keep these logs private, including anything with F & F. If they erased the video, makes it more important!

It is so idiotic and dishonest in Obama's own words, makes for a great campaign ad why he needs to go.
