ABC NEWS The good-government group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, filed a lawsuit today to force the President Obama to share White House visitors logs with the public.

“We’re suing because the Obama Administration has made it clear that they are continuing the policies and practices of the Bush administration and claiming that White House visitors’ records are off limits to the public,” said Anne Weismann, chief counsel for CREW.

Weismann said White House visitors’ logs can “offer a great deal of insight about pressures and influences people can bring to bear on policies.”

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman are not supporting this effort.

If it’s the house of the ‘People’ as the Obama’s like to say then we should know who is visiting the house that we all pay for. Just gotta love the transparency that the Obama’s brought with them to Washington.

We could flood the place with legitimate suits: firing the Inspector General of Americor, appointing czars to mess with private companies AND spend our money, ethics probe into Pelosi, Dodd, etc. JUmp in and let’s make a list…

Too bad you can’t sue for stupidity…

I actually don’t have a problem with them doing this. I believe the president has the right to keep the White House visitors log private.
What I do have a problem with is that he campaigned against everything Bush. Said he was going to be transparent and an emissary of change. Just words, just speeches.

I guess that means we got the worst of both worlds.

I’m still not finding the appointing of “Czars” in the Constitution.
