The only defense being put out by the Obama White House that I get is secrecy re appointments, ambassodorships etc. But I didn't like it when the Bush admin did it and I don't like it now.
The Obama administration "is fighting to block access to names of visitors to the White House, taking up the Bush administration argument that a president doesn't have to reveal who comes calling to influence policy decisions," MSNBC.com reports.
Despite President Obama's "pledge to introduce a new era of transparency to Washington, and despite two rulings by a federal judge that the records are public, the Secret Service has denied msnbc.com's request for the names of all White House visitors from Jan. 20 to the present."
