Obama yields on White House visitor logs
MSNBC ^ | 9/4/09 | Bill Dedman

Posted on 09/04/2009 8:22:06 AM PDT by Titus-Maximus

The Obama administration says it will release names of most visitors to the White House, starting at the end of this year. Information on visitors in the first eight months of his administration will remain secret — unless you know which names to ask for.

The White House called the release of information "voluntary," continuing to argue the Bush administration's position that full disclosure is not required by the Freedom of Information Act.

After being sued twice by a nonprofit organization seeking the records, the Obama administration said Friday it will post the visitor logs online. The release will be time delayed, with 90 to 120 days passing before the records are posted on the White House Web site. And only visits after Sept. 15, 2009, will be revealed.

Release the names of most visitors at the end of the year, huh?

More obfuscation and delay.

“I’ll bet a few savvy people would know which names to ask about. I hope they do, then share with Rush, Hannity, Beck, etc.”

1.Don’t you think this is interesting timing?
2.Think about it - this administration has been about creating chaos in many areas and some things are a distraction.
3.a cover up for past errors (Van Jones)
4. Someone will come forward from the administration - someday (we can hope it will be soon - just like the artist that Beck interviewed)

This IS the most transparent administration in history. I see right through his LIES.

Shades of John F. Kerry "signing" his 180 form.

Start asking for Ayers, Manson, Wright, Marx, Moore, Quanell X,...

If we have to GUESS who may have been there, don’t leave anyone out.

Way to point an arrow at the records that absolutely must be seen now. The Obama folks are daring folks to redouble efforts to get this information released.

“Who knows?”

The Secret Service knows.

Yes, this is what I mean about interesting timing!
I thought I heard they want the health care bill passed by 9/15 - maybe that is not correct.

But it makes you wonder what do they have planned between now and Sept. 15.

Makes you wonder who went there after the inauguration up to NOW.

Considering the Open Racists and Marxists that the administration openly appoints to high level position, it really makes you wonder how radical the people must be if they actually are afraid to let you know they were present in the White House.

Key word; “MOST”, translation: we will release the names of whom WE choose to. They will continue to HIDE the names of the communist, socialist, revolutionary “fellow-travelers” that they invite to dine and meet with king Obamessiah.

It’s purely a distraction from Van Jones, his tanking poll numbers, and his flagging health care proposal he’s never read.

And on Sept 15, 2009 two separate logs will be maintained. One for visitors and one for guests. The guest log will be secret of course.

That all depends on what your definition of “most” is.

The Non-profit organization mentioned in the article has stated it is satisfied with the Obama administration response. It tucked its tail between its legs and made off for the hills. This should not be the end of this matter.
