President Barack Obama, along with Vice President Joe Biden, meets with members of his national security team for a monthly meeting on Afghanistan in the Situation Room of the White House, June 6, 2011. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) Morell is behind Panetta with fingers over his face.

Based on the entry time of other records with POTUS on that same date with same # of people, this occurred on 6/6/2011.

Maybe Google can shed some light on what this was about.

Here is the list of names from the 6/3/2011 meeting with POTUS in the situation room.

Any of these ring a bell?

Hmm.

6/3/2011 - met with POTUS in situation room? 14 people total.

These latest dates are when the appointment was made.
Could be same day visit as that date.

.... that was a total of just 2 people that time.

He also saw POTUS on 10-21-2009.
Anything happen around that time?

Now if I sort by the appt time,

I see MANY visits in 2012. The TOA (Time of appointment) field is blank for many. That was how the first query was made.

12/13/2012 met with POTUS/FLOTUS with 640 people.

Just checked the downloaded visitor log myself.

He visited WH 157 times.
The last time in the log is 12-14-2012 @ 5:20 pm.
He saw POTUS with total of 4 people.

I did. Over 500 MB file too.

It only has entries up to the end of 2012.

Knowing this administration, the list could be blank tomorrow.
I chose to save it first, just in case.

Download complete.
529 MB.

Oops. Too late.

I’m already downloading the logs as we speak in CSV format. 155 MB so far.

Easier to import into an SQL DB for searching.

Here's a photo of the two different sets of "suspicious people" in one photo to give some perspective.

Note the running clock's time.

Wasn't the time around 4:09 on the clock when the first bomb went off?

1,006 Roundtrip?

They should just do 2012 one way out of this country.
We could afford to lose 2012 Liberals permanently.

I found this on Twitter and thought I'd share. Found it funny:

Dennis Miller ‏@DennisDMZ

Dems move it inside. GOP should rent Bank of America Stadium for the night, put the empty chair on stage, fill it with silent Republicans.

Why on 16? You planning on R & R losing to Obama? We may not need anyone in 16 if that magic moron gets re-elected. Here’s how it goes down, Romney wins in 12-16. Ryan wins in 20-24...got it?

Haven't you heard? FReepers gave up on this election because the GOP ticket is not conservative enough.

Guess they'd rather have Obama stay in power to prove a point to the GOPe and have a clear conscience than to force the pResident out while holding their nose casting their vote .

I fail to see the logic of sitting out. If you do happen to figure out their logic, please share it. I'm baffled and PISSED.

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function dirname() in /www/www.foxnewsradio.com/htdocs/wp-blog-header.php on line 12 “

Nothing you did or on your end at all.

That error comes from the server which is running PHP.

Something on their end changed and they have to fix it themselves. Something in the PHP configuration might have been changed by mistake over there.

It also looks like they are using WordPress based on the php filename you posted. Maybe they just installed it wrong?

I didn’t know Tawana Brawley had her name changed. /sarc

From myfoxny.com:
“Initial reports were that the stowaways are from Pakistan.”

Maybe it’s Osama to deliver Obama’s real birth certificate. He was supposed to arrive for the October surprise but must have caught a tail wind (due to the rising waters on the east coast)

Tom:
Justice Scalia is not only dissenting from the bench, but he has produced a written copy of the bench statement for the press. It is 7 pages long.

10:27

Tom:
The upshot of the SB1070 ruling is that, for now, Arizona can apply the “check your papers” provision. And the Court’s opinion is a guide to the State on how to apply that provision without being invalidated.

10:18

Amy Howe:
It was improper for the lower courts to enjoin Section 2(B), which requires police officers to check the legal status of anyone arrested for any crime before they can be released.

10:17

Amy Howe:
The Court rules that Section 3, 5, and 6 are preempted.

10:17

Tom:
Most of the key provisions of SB1070 (3 of 4) are invalidated. One provision is held not to be proved preempted; it must be construed.

10:16

Amy Howe:
Here’s the second and only other opinion in Arizona.

10:16

Amy Howe:
Justice Kennedy announces.

10:16

Amy Howe:
The Ninth Circuit is reversed in part and affirmed in part. Justice Kagan does not participate.

Ah, I see. The main blog site timed out last week, but the direct link to the live blog was still working. That’s why I posted the direct link.

Guess that’s not the case this week.

I wonder if this is related to Fast and Furious now.

“Biden to Supporters: “Gird Your Loins”, For the Next President “It’s Like Cleaning Augean Stables””

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2008/10/biden-to-suppor/

ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

Not only will the next administration have to deal with foreign affairs issues, Biden warned, but also with the current economic crisis.

“Gird your loins,” Biden told the crowd. “We’re gonna win with your help, God willing, we’re gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It’s like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just, this is more than – think about it, literally, think about it – this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets. This is a systemic problem we have with this economy.”

The Delaware lawmaker managed to rake in an estimated $1 million total from his two money hauls at the downtown Sheraton, the same hotel where four years ago Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., clinched the Democratic nomination. Despite warning about the difficulties the next administration will face, Biden said the Democratic ticket is equipped to meet the challenges head on.

“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I’m not being falsely humble with you. I think I can be value added, but this guy has it,” the Senate Foreign Relations chairman said of Obama. “This guy has it. But he’s gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, ‘Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?’ We’re gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I’m asking you now, I’m asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you’re going to have to reinforce us.”

“There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don’t know about that decision’,” Biden continued. “Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”

Biden emphasized that the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border is of particular concern, with Osama bin Laden “alive and well” and Pakistan “bristling with nuclear weapons.”

“You literally can see what these kids are up against, our kids in that region,” Biden said in recalling when his helicopter was forced down due to a snowstorm there. “The place is crawling with al Qaeda. And it’s real.”

“We do not have the military capacity, nor have we ever, quite frankly, in the last 20 years, to dictate outcomes,” he cautioned. “It’s so much more important than that. It’s so much more complicated than that. And Barack gets it.”

After speaking for just over a quarter of an hour, Biden noticed the media presence in the back of the small ballroom.

“I probably shouldn’t have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here,” he joked.

“All kidding aside, these guys have left us in a God-awful place,” he then said of the Bush regime, promptly wrapping up his remarks. “We have the ability to straighten it out. It’s gonna take a little bit of time, so I ask you to stay with us. Stay with us.”

I have no idea.

10:28

Amy:
We will definitely be back on Monday for additional opinions; we will also have orders from the Court’s conference today on Monday.

10:29

Tom:
The Court has 4 decisions left, plus health care.

10:29

Tom:
We’ll start up the live blog sometime soon after 9am.

10:29

Tom:
(On Monday.)

10:29

Tom:
The fact that the Court did not announce that Monday will be the last day means there will definitely be opinions after Monday.

10:30

Tom:
(Sorry, 5 plus health care.)

* That is all.

10:27

Amy:
Our reader numbers just dropped quickly.

10:27

Tom:
Thanks again to everyone, and to those who linked to us, including especially Drudge Report and Instapundit, both amazing sites.

10:26

Amy:
It is not addressing the constitutionality of the current indecency policy and the Court leaves the Commission free to modify its policy in light of its determination of the public interest and leaves the courts free to review the current policy or any changes thereto in light of what the policy is and how it is applied.

10:26

Amy:
That is all for today.

10:26

Kali:

The Court has posted the FCC opinion here: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-1293f3e5.pdf

10:27

Amy:
No more opinions, according to Lyle. No health care coming today, no Arizona.

10:25

Tom:
The decision is very narrow. The analysis section of the opinion is only 5 pages long. It says simply that the FCC didn’t give advance notice. It doesn’t decide the big questions of the constitutionality of the current policy.

10:25

Amy:
Because the FCC failed to give Fox or ABC fair notice prior to the broadcast that fleeting expletives and momentary nudity would be indecent, the Commission’s standards as applied to these broadcasts were vague.

10:25

Amy:
Because it resolves these cases under the due process clause, it does not involve the First Amendment implications or reconsider Pacifica at this time.

10:24

Amy:
The vote appears to be unanimous, although Justice Sotomayor did not participate, Ginsburg concurs in the judgment only.

10:21

Amy:
Dorsey and Hill have the more traditional line-up that we have come to expect in 5-4 cases.

10:22

Tom:
Coveritlive reports 70,000 readers on the live blog today. My over/under of 16,000 was off.

10:23
Amy:
To reiterate, we don’t know what the next opinion will be. It won’t be from Justices Alito, Sotomayor, or Kagan, b/c the last opinion was from Justice Breyer.

10:23

Kali:
The Court has posted the Dorsey/Hill opinion here: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-5683i7k8.pdf

10:23

Amy:
FCC v. Fox is in. Opinion is by Justice Kennedy. The decision of the Second Circuit is vacated and remanded.

*** I’m live blogging a live blog? weird. 70,000 people explains why it’s slow.

10:19

Amy:
To answer a recurring question, the Court is scheduled to release opinions again on Monday. Depending on how many opinions it releases today, we expect at least one additional decision day to be added next week, but we don’t know for sure whether that will happen or when it will be. When we find out, we will pass that info on, either via the Live Blog or an editor’s note on the blog.

10:19
Amy:
We have the opinion in Dorsey and Hill, the Fair Sentencing Act cases.

10:19
Amy:
The opinion is by Breyer. The Seventh Circuit is vacated and remanded. The vote is 5-4. Justice Scalia dissents, joined by the Chief and Alito and Thomas.

10:20
Amy:
The Court holds that the FSA’s new mandatory minimums applies to sentences for crack cocaine imposed after the Act for pre-Act crimes.

10:20
Amy:
This is not the last opinion today.

*my update: This live blog is getting sloowwwwww now. wonder how many people on on it now?

10:18

Tom:
So on the majority’s rationale, the Court is 5-4 in the union dues case, divided on ideological lines. But in the result it is 6-3.

10:14
Amy:
Here comes Lyle to tell us that Justice Breyer is reading from his dissent in Knox. That’s why we have no additional news for you regarding the next opinion.

10:15
Amy:
We don’t know what the next opinion is. We expect another one, which would not be from either Justice Sotomayor or Justice Kagan, because the Court goes in order of reverse seniority and the Knox case was by Justice Alito. So it will be Alito or one of the more senior Justices.

Tom:
The union dues case may be quite significant — there is not only the dissent but a narrower concurring opinion that says that “[t]he majority thus decides, for the very first time, that the First Amendment does require an opt-in system in some circumstances [for union dues]: the levying of a special assessment or dues increase.”

10:16
Amy:
We don’t know how many more we are getting today, just that Lyle has told us that there will be at least one more. And he’s been doing this for over fifty years, so I trust him.

10:12
Amy:
I believe that the oral summaries are released much later in the year, which is why there have been requests to have the audio/video released on the same day as health care. Those requests are unlikely to be granted.

10:13
Amy:
Lyle is not in the Courtroom. He is in the pressroom and gets the hard copies of the opinions as they are released and then comes to the phone to talk to me.

10:13
Amy:
Just to clarify — there isn’t video at the Court. People would like for there to be video. There will be no video.

10:08
Amy:
I think that the sign that there is another opinion is very high-tech — like another box of opinions waiting to be released at the Public Information Office.

10:09
Kali:
The opinion in Knox is up on the Court’s website: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-1121c4d6.pdf

10:10
Amy:
The physical copies of the opinions are released as they are announced in the Courtroom. The Justices read summaries of their opinions (not the same as the syllabus that gets printed) as they are released.

I’ll copy/paste for those that can’t get in:

10:01
Amy:
First opinion is in Southern Union.

10:01
Amy:
Justice Sotomayor has opinion. The rule of Apprendi v. NJ applies to the imposition of criminal fines. The First Circuit is reversed. The vote is 6-3.

10:01
Amy:
Justice Breyer dissents, joined by Kennedy and Alito.

10:02
Amy:
We have at least one more opinion.

10:02
Amy:
Southern Union was about whether a jury needed to find facts leading to the imposition of a higher criminal fine.

10:02
Kali:
Our case page for Southern Union is here. I will link to the opinion once it’s up on the Court’s website.

10:03
Amy:
To answer a commenter, you may not have been waiting for Southern Union, but Southern Union was probably waiting for Southern Union.

10:04
Amy:
Yes, to answer another commenter, no opinions from Justice Kagan today.

10:04
Amy:
No majority opinions, at least.

10:05
Kali:
Apologies if you’re having trouble with the case page not loading; there are 22,000 people on the live blog right now. If you can figure our how to take turns it may load faster...

10:05
Amy:
Knox v. SEIU, 10-1121. Opinion by Alito.

10:06
Amy:
The Ninth Circuit is reversed. Justice Sotomayor concurs in the judgment, joined by Ginsburg. It appears to be 7-2; Breyer dissented, joined by Kagan.

10:06
Kali:
Here’s a link to the opinion in Southern Union: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-94a1b2.pdf

10:06
Amy:
The Court rules that the case is not moot, first. It then rules on the merits: the union’s treatment of nonmembers who had opted out when they got notice of the dues ran afoul of the First Amendment.

10:06 Amy:
This is not the final opinion. We have at least one more.

10:07
Amy:
To answer another question, yes, when you become the Chief Justice you automatically become the most senior Justice and get to go last with opinions, even if you have not been on the Court as long as some other Justices.

The police chief should be arrested and charged with Conspiracy to commit Murder after the fact for trying sweep it under the rug, George’s brother and sister should be charged with conspiracy to commit fraud on those brain dead cash donors and George’s supporters should be locked up for just being so da.mn stupid
