White House Visits Affirm Who Obama is Beholden To

Recently released documents from the Obama White House shed a lot of light who President Obama seems to be most indebted to (or is coordinating policy with) in his first nine months of his presidency. First on the list is Andy Stern, president of the SEIU, who has visited the White House an astounding 22 times in just nine months (that’s an astounding record of every two weeks).

Taking into account the number of weekends that President Obama has been out of town for the week/weekend that means Andy Stern is practically visiting the weekend almost every weekend. Think there’s any correlation between Stern and White House pro-union Policy?

How about George Soros? Billionaire Soros has visited Obama’s White House four times. Think that there’s any discussion of the dollar’s value as currency trader Soros roams the halls of the White House?

Or how about climate protector Al Gore? Former Vice President Gore has visited the White House four times in the past few months…think Gore has whispered words of “Cap and Trade” as he wandered the halls of the White House?

Let’s be honest. If you want to find out where President Obama stands on a policy, don’t bother asking him…just check the visitor logs of the White House.

It is important to note that the Whitehouse did not fully disclose all the names on the logs. Only the names of those who had been asked about on their website. So it's a giant guessing game. Somebody has to ask "how many times has Oprah been to the Whitehouse?" for the Whitehouse to release the information. So much for transparency.

This is a very strong point.

Oprah's been to the White House twice. It was on the list.

Yeah because she is popular enough to be asked about. But what about the more sinister but less known guests.

All his associate and aides are radicals anyway.

To imply that the president is "coordinating policy" with anyone who visits the White House is truly preposterous.

Really? To think that a union leader who visits that many times does not have some impact on his ideology is what is really preposterous....actually - ignorant.

Do you think they discuss the color of ties?
