WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Wednesday released a second installment from its logs of White House visitors in the first seven months of Mr. Obama’s term, revealing a roster of business executives, Democratic strategists and lobbyists showing up for meetings, events or tours.
The latest list — some 1,600 names — includes Thomas Donohue, the head of the Chamber of Commerce who has been embroiled in a fight over climate change with the Obama administration. It also includes T. Boone Pickens, the energy investor and author of the best-selling book “The First Billion Is the Hardest.”
A three-time visitor was Stephen Schwarzman, chief executive of the private equity company Blackstone Group. Also on the list was General Electric’s chief executive, Jeffrey Immelt, who came to see Mr. Obama’s chief Congressional lobbyist, Phil Schiliro.
The names, made public Wednesday on the White House Web site, were disclosed in response to requests about specific people by watchdog groups or news organizations. White House officials said they planned to release visitors’ names toward the end of every month, saying the disclosure demonstrated the administration’s openness.

But not THE T. Boone Pickens, not THE Tom Donohue. Not THE Bill Ayers and so on ...
Does the list include the two uninvited guests?
Hey, I wonder if these guests were the ACORN stinger’s.
It would be cool if they got in dressed as the pimp and hooker.
Obama Swallows Prime Minister Singh’s ‘Lies’ on Kashmir: The Frontier Post, Pakistan
“India is meticulously working on a game plan to portray Pakistan as a terrorist state. Due to the inaction of Pakistan’s leadership, New Delhi is succeeding. Islamabad had better wake up and realize what’s cooking.”
What’s the deal with T. Boone Pickens? Is he a liberal, conservative or what? From what I’ve read, he’s apparently a life-long Republican and gave lots of $$$ to the GWB and to the Swift Boat Vets effort in 2004. However, recently he’s gone off the deep end and joined the leftist envirowhackos... ?
............What’s the deal with T. Boone Pickens..........
Pickens is out for Pickens.
Let a thousand dollar bill catch the wind while you hold it on your doorstep, and pretty soon T. Boone will show up!
T Boone’s windmills will have to be backed up by natural gas, since they are so inefficient. T Boone is heavily into natural gas. He was trying to get the taxpayers to build the infrastructure for transporting the electricity from the windmills to the electric companies, but it didn’t pan out. IMO, it’s all about the $$$.
Beat me to it. T-Boone is for T-Boone and he smelled a buck.
He sees where the money will be coming from next...and he’s right.
Thanks for your replies re: T. Boone Pickens. I get it now... he’s all about the $$$. I can’t say I blame him, but it just bugs me to see this big Republican-donating oilman “palling around” with liberal greenies whom I assume were once adversaries.
