[If this applied to Bush it ought to apply to King nObama] The White House must release its visitor logs and cannot hide behind a shield of privilege, a federal judge ruled Monday. The Bush administration has resisted public disclosure while it fights a lawsuit over alleged political influence by conservative Christian leaders.

U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth concluded the information is part of the public record and is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act as "agency records."

Duh! This ruling was about President Bush and conservative Christian leaders. It doesn't apply to King Obama.

Wrong, it applies to all cases from this time on unless they file an appeal and try for a reversal. I think it is a correct ruling.

So, who visits the Obama White House?

My guess would be:

The Chicago mafia.

The rich and privileged DC cocktail circuit.

Black Muslims and Black Panthers.

Saudi messengers.

Bagmen.

Interestingly, when this issue came up during the Bush administration, many Freepers were opposed to the White House disclosing such documents and now it seems that view has changed.

As for for, I say the visitor logs are public, not matter who is in the White House.

If those are now public info., the manifest list of passengers on AF1 ( the famous flyby shoot - though it was not AF1 at the time ) should be made public also.

I was being somewhat facetious. I don't disagree with the ruling. We'll see what happens.

I agree with you. You haven’t forgotten this stupid display of arrogance and I haven’t either.

The Democrats are going to be ticked off that Obama is taking the same stand on the White House visitor log issue as President Bush.
