Obama yields on White House visitor logs
Looks like the Obama administration is being forced to become a bit more transparent. Do I recall him saying his administration would be more transparent that that of his predecessor?
The Obama administration says it will release names of most visitors to the White House, starting at the end of this year. Information on visitors in the first eight months of his administration will remain secret -- though officials say they will consider narrow and specific requests.
The White House called the release of information "voluntary," continuing to argue the Bush administration's position that full disclosure is not required by the Freedom of Information Act.
Meet the new boss. Changing himself to be more and more like the old boss.
After being sued twice by a nonprofit organization seeking the records, the Obama administration said Friday it will post the visitor logs online.
