President Obama, the consummate host and entertainer, loves to have guests at his fancy DC mansion. But who are these guests, and why do they visit? Are they there for, like, orgies, or to lobby him on “clean coal” technology? A LADY NEVER TELLS.
The good-government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is suing the government to get the White House visitors’ log released. If this sounds like familiar news, it’s because CREW was always after the Bush Administration to release its White House visitors’ log. Which of course they never did, and then candidate Barack Obama took them to task for being so nontransparent. And he was elected because he promised to run the most honest and open government in the history of the planet!
But now he doesn’t want anyone to know about his late-night gabfests with Bootsy Collins and Osama so he is hedging, dickishly. Let’s hope CREW wins this one.
Good Government Group Sues for White House Visitors’ Logs [Political Punch]
Nobama doesn’t want anyone to know that he is visited hourly by teh TelePrompterz!
“We know that President Bush is a major component of clean coal,” Weismann said.
Then how come Hugo Chavez always says Dubya smells like sulfur?
“We know that President Bush is a major component of clean coal,” Weismann said.
Good. I look forward to stuffing his ass into my furnace this winter so I can keep my house warm.
Late night vagina tar tar from Beyonce?
so much potential, so little brain power to snark
facehead: I’m game for that. Where do I have to go?
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Told ya’ll we shoulda gone with Hilz. Hopey’s version of “change” looks awfully familiar. From bailouts to Gitmo, the guy has been a consistent disappointment. I wouldn’t be shocked if took a vacation this summer to clear the brush from his dirt farm.
Struggling…to care…failing…
pdiddycornchips: Awww, give the guy a chance, he’s only half-white.
When did candidate Obama take Bush to task for being untransparent for not releasing his guest list (as opposed to anything else Bush ever did)? Link plz?
It’s because of that motherfucking JEFF GANNON.
pdiddycornchips: Not like Hillary would have been better, plus she’s not as sexy. But what’s with the Republican talking point that Obama “ran from the center and governs from the left”? Obama ran as a centrist and governs as a centrist, and slogans don’t mean anything. I would say that Obama actually ran more to the left, only because he promised to pass the employee free choice act and has since apparently forgotten about it.
aaaaaannnddd the point would beeeeeee???? uh, so don’t care, whatevs… can’t come up w/good snark, ’scuse me whilst I snooorreee…zzzzzzzz
pdiddycornchips: Don’t hate the playah, hate the game. Bitters. Also.
If Michelle didn’t save her receipts, why won’t J. CREW just offer store credit like they do for everyone else? Why is J. CREW accusing the First Family of being shoplifters? Does Rev. Al Sharpton need to get involved?
“Good-government watchdog group” is code for representatives of the Communist Party of the USA.
This controversy didn’t even really get my goat when the Bushies did it mainly because there were many other things to be upset about it and because I pretty much just assumed Cheney was meeting with Satan. Still, bad Hopey, bad.
I want to know more about Beyonce’s partecipation in those “Clean Coal” orgies.
pdiddycornchips: Good point. We all know the CLintons NEVER did anything shady or underhanded. Oh, wait, I’m sorry. I forgot we were dealing with REALITY. So it turns out that you are full of shit. Shit, dude, Clinton never stopped fucking over the left. He liked fucking the left more than he like fucking fat chicks.
pdiddycornchips: Haw Haw. Good post. Hillary Clinton is your answer to what the gov’t should have done about the banks and Gitmo? Jesus. JESUS.
The PUMA’s seem to be wiping their tears and re-emerging from their hidey holes. I’ve been seeing more and more of these, “SEE?!1!!?? We should have elected Hillary!!!1!” comments.
Fuck off, PUMA’s. Ya lost. I’ll trade a little transparency for not having to look at ugly polyester pantsuits every day for 8 years.
pdiddycornchips: Hello Tony….
pdiddycornchips: Like Hillary would have been releasing the guest list to those Ron Burkle old man sex-orgies. Mark Penn lost her the campaign, unable to pull the trigger on those non-controversial, made-up financial records. Let the Hill-shit go, people.
Just give them the damn logs, Barry. Otherwise, someone from CREW will camp on your doorstep and start tweeting, and God knows we don’t want that.
I don’t see what the big deal is. The really interesting White House visitors come in through the secret tunnels anyway.
Tiny Dancer’s nine fingerprints are all over this. If the log were released, it would show how many times Blago’s hair piece visited him at the West Wing.
lizard scum: You have to remember that, according to Republican definitions, anyone who’s not as far right as Rush Limbaugh is a “leftist”.
How else can he hold his Muslin/socialist/fascist takeover meetings in secret? You don’t expect those fanatics to produce a birth certificate & just saunter in through the front door, do you? Do YOU?
If a President cannot keep the visits of his drug dealer secret, are any of us truly free?
Still, you would think he would just forge them like he did his birth certificate.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: At least Obama goes for classy drugs like coke & weed vs. lowlife meth. AS FAR AS I KNOW…
Lionel Hutz Esq.: Drug dealer? As if. We all know he’s trying to keep all those meetings with Bill Ayers secret. Not to mention all the meetings with his Muslim overlords.
pdiddycornchips:
Bush , Clinton , Bush , Clinton
4 8 8 ?
Wasn’t 20 years enough?
They don’t want anyone to know about the panel truck that said “Birth Certificates R Us, Ltd.”
Snap! Hopey still has a following I see. Okay, you’re right. Whateves. The fact that he promises one thing and does the opposite shouldn’t be a concern to any of us because, well because Hillary is a Clinton which means she sits at the right hand of the devil. Gays rights? Not now. Wiretapping? Full steam ahead. Gitmo? Not so fast? Unions? Duck the issue and blame congress. Transparency? No thanks. Ignore his speeches and his policies are thisclose to Dubya’s. We are a nation of sheep. BAAAA!!! BAAA!!!! BAAA!!!. Defend if you must but as time goes on and this list gets longer. Eventually even sheep have the capacity to learn.
pdiddycornchips: Christ on a bike, why don’t you understand things? It’s not that Obama doesn’t do things people here don’t like it’s that Hillz wasn’t a better option and we have no reason to believe that she would have been better. If you want to say Hopey is pissing me off because of ____, fine. If you want to say that Hillary is a goddess that would have been a raging leftist gay-loving, then we will make fun of you because you are delusional.
Also, -1 for not using the term sheeple. For shame.
pdiddycornchips: You are right. These past five months have been like the last five years, and srsly, like any good sheep, I would have loved to subscribed to your newsletter - but you had to go and mention Cankles.
If I recall correctly (which I might not, as I’ve spent five months smoking the free marijuana the hippie Muslin started handing out the day of his inauguration) the issue of the WH logs under Bush was that Cheney had put together his energy task force in secret and wouldn’t tell anyone who was on it. The logs would have indicated if the task force had been made up of all energy company execs or if Cheney would have invited in an environmentalist or two that all the Bushies could devour like a school of pirahnas attacking a water buffalo. I can’t think of a task force Biden is putting together of similar import. Maybe the task force of Not Messing With Joe?
Internally valid:
Okay, remove the Hillary reference. Hopey has still lost the plot on a range of issues. I’m just sayin’, the guy has a tendency to say whatever the audience in front of him wants to hear.
If the audience changes, his position changes. Remember when he was going to filibuster the FISA bill? When he voted for it, he said once in office he would “fix it”. He’s in office now and he’s had a sudden change of heart. From small issues to large issues, he says whatever the audience in front of him wants to hear. AIG bonuses, Detainee photos, bailouts, cardcheck, on every one of these issues, he caved when he encountered opposition. Given this record, what do you expect will happen with healthcare reform? Deficit reduction? Fixing the regulatory mess on Wall Street? On every one of these issues, he’ll be dealing forces that are entrenched and diametrically opposed to long term fixes that will benefit the country. I’m just sayin’ that unless he suddenly finds a set of balls, he’ll be led rather that lead himself. I guess it won’t matter because as long as he’s not Hillary or GWB, he’s a success.
Here is a partial list of White House visitors during just the past few months, obtained from a Senior Administration Official who works near the Oval Office:
Hugh Hefner, Bob Guccione, Al Goldstein, Larry Flynt, Courtney Love, Jennifer Tilly, Kate Winslet, Denise Richards, Fawn Hall, Gennifer Flowers, Erica Jong, Ruth Westheimer, Drew Barrymore, Matthew McConaghey (sp?), Barbie Benton, Jared the Subway Guy, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Janice Dickenson, Vince Neil, Gene Simmons, Nathan Lane, Henry Rollins, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Molly Ringwald, Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, and J.D. Salinger.
What is really ironic is that the PUMAs last year were all saying “Barry’s a rampaging left-winger who can’t be elected, not a moderate, sensible, Iraq-invading centrist like Hillz”. So now this PUMA troll is coming here and saying precisely the opposite and hoping we have short memories.
pdiddycornchips: AIG bonuses, Detainee photos, bailouts, cardcheck, on every one of these issues, he caved when he encountered opposition.
I am sold. What some equivocators (aka Flip Flopper) sees as “nuanced reconfiguring of policy, based on the changing facts on the ground” you see rightly see as “caving to opposition.”
Gays rights? He solved all of America’s race problems, why hasn’t he transformed American sexual norms yet? Wiretapping? Other president’s have ignored court orders, what’s stopping N00bama? Gitmo? If he REALLY wanted to shut it down, he could have already - what else is he doing with all those extra bedrooms in the fucking White House. Unions??! You sheeple are too blind to see the appointment of a labor secretary who sat on the board of ARAW, for what it really is - a smoke-screen. A real pro-labor/pro-cardcheck president would be fomenting a revolution in Congress by now. Transparency? Well…I don’t know what he is hiding. And that’s the problem.
doloras:
How ironic that Hopey’s legion of zombies forgive so easily. It doesn’t bother you in the least that he says whatever the audience in front of him whats to hear? Tell me this, do you honestly expect real heathcare reform? Do you really think printing dollars and putting the fed fund rate at zero will fix the economy? As long as Hopey doesn’t grow breasts and marry Bill Clinton, he’s a success? That ain’t rational. It’s cultish and creepy. Barry’s fans aren’t yet ready to see who he really is. Let’s revisit this discussion next summer. I’m betting the cult will be considerably smaller.

there’s something to be said for what you’re saying there .. but at the same time … the audience is us, the American people. I’ve always kinda felt like he would rather position himself as the ultimate man of the people. In that regard … I would much rather that be the case, than the puppet for Cheney & Rove in their Pinky & The Brain quest for _______
