Headlines for the sheeple:

Whitehouse “Yields”

Rangel “Beleagered”

Horsepucky!!!!

The current “Whitehouse” residents are the MOST hypocritical, opaque obfuscators and doublespeakers that I have seen.

And since the media sees that most people just barely read headlines, putting the big half truth in the 24 pt font is working for them. They can miserably and failingly explain what the real story is on paragraph five after the full eloquent paragraph four describing hatefully the attributes of republicans.

Its Yorktown on Monday and DC on Saturday for me. March on good Freepers into this dark night and fray!! March on I say!!!!!

THE BRIEFING ROOM

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary
__________________________________________________________________________
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 4, 2009

STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT ON THE FIRST TIME
DISCLOSURE POLICY FOR WHITE HOUSE VISITOR LOGS

As another indication of his commitment to an open and transparent government, the President announced today that for the first time in history, records of White House visitors will be released. Each month, records of visitors from the previous 90-120 days will be made available online.

“For the first time in history, records of White House visitors will be made available to the public on an ongoing basis,” said President Obama. “We will achieve our goal of making this administration the most open and transparent administration in history not only by opening the doors of the White House to more Americans, but by shining a light on the business conducted inside. Americans have a right to know whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process.”

Aside from a small group of appointments that cannot be disclosed because of national security imperatives or their necessarily confidential nature (such as a visit by a possible Supreme Court nominee), the record of every visitor who comes to the White House for an appointment, a tour, or to conduct business will be released.

Previous administrations fought disclosure of White House visitor logs in court. This administration began a review of the policy during its first days in office.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a government reform organization which has long objected to administrations keeping White House visitor logs secret, said in a statement from its executive director Melanie Sloan:

“Today the Obama administration has proven its pledge to usher in a new era of government transparency was more than just a campaign promise. The Obama administration will have the most open White House in history. Providing public access to visitor records is an important step in restoring transparency and accountability to our government.”

The administration thanks CREW for their participation in the development of this new policy.

Vera Baker? Louis Farrakhan? Al Sharpton? Jesse Jackson? Malik Shabazz? Jeremiah Wright?

I wonder how many actual documents we peasants will be allowed to read, and how many actual documents have since been shredded or otherwise destroyed completely.
