White House Refuses To Release Visitor Log Of Healthcare Executives
So...the White House refuses to release the visitor log of the healthcare industry executives who have the privilege of meeting Dear Leader His Excellency Barack Hussein Obama, Junior. Hmmmm...this is interesting.
The Left went BatPoop Crazy Insane when the Bush-Cheney White House refused to release certain visitor logs. I bet The Left - especially the Pbama Cultists - are applying the same criticism to the Pbama White House on this issue as they applied to the Bush White House. Huh? Huh?
From The L.A. Times:
Invoking an argument used by President George W. Bush, the Obama administration has turned down a request from a watchdog group for a list of health industry executives who have visited the White House to discuss the massive healthcare overhaul.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington sent a letter to the Secret Service asking about visits from 18 executives representing health insurers, drug makers, doctors and other players in the debate. The group wants the material in order to gauge the influence of those executives in crafting a new healthcare policy.
[...]
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics said it would file suit against the Obama administration as early as today. The group already has sued the administration over its failure to release details about visits from coal industry executives.
[...]
As a candidate, President Obama vowed that in devising a healthcare bill he would invite in TV cameras -- specifically C-SPAN -- so that Americans could have a window into negotiations that normally play out behind closed doors.
Having promised transparency, the administration should be willing to disclose who it is consulting in shaping healthcare policy, said an attorney for the citizens' group.
[...]
"It's extremely disappointing," said Anne Weismann, the group's chief counsel. Obama is relying on a legal argument that "continues one of the bad, anti-transparency, pro-secrecy approaches that the Bush administration had taken. And it seems completely at odds with the president's commitment . . . to bring a new level of transparency to his government."
Pbama does the same things as W. Bush. This must roil the Pbama Cultists and the ILCP, huh?
Obama is The Special Needs Prednint. He needs to conduct all his Marxist policies in private and rush them through before anyone has a chance to vet them, let alone object to them.
