As With Bush, Obama Won't Release WH Visitors List

(Newser) – Despite President Obama’s promise of transparency, the administration is blocking requests for the White House visitors list, MSNBC reports, defying two federal court rulings that the lists are public record. In addition to denying MSNBC’s request for a list of all visitors since Jan. 20, the Secret Service turned down a nonpartisan watchdog group’s request for records of visits by coal executives.

“We are deeply disappointed that the Obama administration is following the same anti-transparency policy as the Bush administration,” said an attorney for the watchdog group, which intends to sue the Department of Homeland Security for the records. The Obama administration, like President Bush’s before it, says the logs are presidential records and aren’t subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

He's in there. Not much we can do except hope the rest of the politicians don't go giving into everything he wants passed.
But, then, we still have Corps and special interests giving them all what we don't have. Money to buy them.

Well, I tried to tell everyone I knew...that if he got in, it would be nothing different(but rearranged) on your plate. We're screwed anyway you look at it...

Hey...but I tried...not enough listened

What do they want the visitors list for? I would not give you my visitor's list so why should they?

it is public record for whatever reason they want it. they may want to interview some of the guests

You are not subject to the "freedom of information act".
