Breaking News: William Ayers, Angela Davis, and George Soros Among Visitors To Obama's White House

UPDATE AND BUMPED: Apparently, Allahpundit and Ace of Spades are both reporting that this story is not true.

It is not that it is not true. Instead, the fact is, Obama released 300 names out of 100,000 who have gone through the doors of the White House. Some transparency.

This is all a headfake by Barack Hussein Obama to make Conservatives look stupid. Great job, Barack, but I'm not buying your bullshit.

Let's look at what MSNBC has to say about the information release:


The White House on Friday released a small list of visitors to the White House since President Barack Obama took office in January, including lobbyists, business executives, activists and celebrities.

No previous administration has released such a list, though the information out so far is incomplete. Only about 110 names —and 481 visits —out of the hundreds of thousands who have visited the Obama White House were made public. Like the Bush administration before it, Obama is arguing that any release is voluntary, not required by law, despite two federal court rulings to the contrary.

The names released Friday include business leaders and lobbyists with a lot to gain or lose from Obama policies. They include Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates (whose foundation is pushing for changes in teacher pay), former AIG chairman Maurice Greenberg, Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, Chevron CEO David O'Reilly, Citigroup's Vikram Pandit, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, JP Morgan's James Dimon, Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis, John Stumpf of Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley's John Mack, State Street bank's Ron Logue, BNY Mellon's Robert Kelly, labor leader Andrew Stern of the Service Employees International Union (22 visits), American Bankers Association CEO Ed Yingling, community bankers president Camden Fine, and lobbyists Heather and Anthony Podesta, whose brother John Podesta led Obama's transition team.

Besides Gates, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt are also on the list. (Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC. One of NBC's parents is GE.)

Advocates and nonprofit leaders include National Organization for Women President Kim Gandy, and Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which is interested in health policy.

Democratic donor and businessman George Soros visited with White House aides twice.

Political figures include former Sen. Thomas Daschle, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, former Gov. Howard Dean, Sen. Al Franken, former Vice President Al Gore, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, and Democratic strategist Steve Elmendorf.

Celebrities at the White House include Oprah Winfrey, actors Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Denzel Washington, and tennis star Serena Williams. Journalists include Paul Krugman, the New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize winner in economics.

Conservative religious leader Gary Bauer visited, as did liberal civil rights leaders Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Msnbc.com has put the full list in a handy PDF file, and also in an Excel file for those who like to sort.

Not that Bill Ayers
The White House warns that many names that may appear familiar — and controversial — do not in fact refer to the most famous people to carry those names. Jeremiah Wright is on the list, but it's not the president's former pastor. This Michael Jordan is not the basketball player. This Michael Moore is not a filmmaker. The William Ayers who took a group tour of the White House isn't the former radical from Chicago who figured so prominently in the 2008 campaign. And the Angela Davis on the list has a different middle initial than the activist and former fugitive.

The White House could have avoided some of that sort of confusion by providing more information on the visitors, such as an employer name and the city they hail from. For example, is the Shawn Carter who attended a poetry reading the same one who goes by Jay-Z and had campaigned for Obama?

"This unprecedented level of transparency can sometimes be confusing rather than providing clear information," a White House special counsel, Norm Eisen, wrote on the White House blog.


Well, isn't that cute.

Fuck, Barack Hussein Obama. He is just a liar. So, the William Ayers they released is not that William Ayers.

THAT DOESN'T TELL US ANYTHING.

Barack Hussein Obama is just being a class smart-ass with this maneuver. It is such a transparent practical joke. It is childish behavior for a sitting President of the United States, supposedly the most powerful man in the world.

When, oh when, will the Democratic Party finally come to their senses and demand that this man resign from office?

From Rumcrook:

wake up america!!!! obama is a radical! white house guest list reveals just how radical he is!


“You are unlikely to find a sorrier rogues gallery than Obama’s guest list!

Did you ever wonder who were the folks who got all those special invites to the White House since the Obama’s turned it into party central? The White House released the list. Here are some highlights…

  • Two visits by William Ayers, the Weatherman terrorist whose group bombed the Pentagon and who said he wished he had done more. Remember Obama told us all that Ayers was “just some guy in the neighborhood” back in Chicago. What a liar!
  • Two visits by Angela Davis, former Communist Party candidate for Vice President and found innocent of kidnapping and murder of a judge.
  • Four visits by failed Presidential hopeful John Edwards. No word on whether he shared grooming tips with Obama.
  • Five visits by Steve Elmendorf, head of the Congressional Budget Office. Wonder if Obama was doing some arm twisting to get CBO to whitewash the Dem’s health care plans?
  • 15 visits by Kim Gandy, head of the National Organization for Women. But no time on the schedule for General McChrystal, our commander in Afghanistan!
  • Five visits by Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric. No doubt Jeff had to pick up those billions in stimulus funds himself.
  • Five visits by Michael Jordan. Basketball is so much more important than governing a country.
  • Eight visits by Nancy Keenan, head of the National Abortion Rights Action League. You suppose it’s just a coincidence that abortion funding keeps popping up in the health care bill?
  • Seven visits by Philip Lamarche of 666 West End Avenue in NYC and bigtime Obama donor.
  • Eight visits by Michael Moore. A socialist propaganda film maker is obviously more important than meeting with General McChrystal.
  • Four visits by George Soros, the Hungarian born billionaire who funds the Democrat Party.
  • TWENTY visits by Andrew Stern, head of the far left union SEIU whose thugs beat up Town Hall protesters this summer.

Even Good ole Rev. Jeremiah “God DAMN America” Wright got a visit. Even after disrespecting Obama during last year’s campaign.

If you ever wondered why Obama appointed so many raving radicals to important positions in the White House, this list makes it clear: That’s the only kind of people this man knows and cares to associate with.”


Here's the link to the WhiteHouse.gov site with the original list for your perusal.

The moderates who voted for Obama with blinders on had better take them off. This is sickening.

I'm not sure that cult followers are capable of taking off blinders. **sigh**

Although it is Halloween, before you continue with the scaremongering, the William Ayers on the guest list is a totally different person than the Weatherman dude - check your facts...

I want to thank President Obama on behalf of all bloggers on this site for keeping the White House open to folks from all walks of life. President Obama, you're the best, and all of my fellow bloggers on this site absolutely agree.

One of them might be a different Williams Ayers because bomb-boy is William Charles Ayers and one of the ones on the list is a William A.

Please tell me Michael Dolan isn't Micky Dolan from the Monkees. Not that it really matters with this administration.

They should give Stern a key, he practically lives there.

Sorry, folks, but the sockpuppet may be right this time. Says both Allahpundit ( http://hotair.com/archives/2009/10/30/no-bill-ayers-didnt-visit-the-white-house/ ) and Drew at Ace of Spades ( http://ace.mu.nu/archives/294212.php ) neither of whom I'd consider leftists or friends of Obama.

revereridesagain said...

Let me get this straight. Ozero releases a list of 110 visitors to the WH out of hundreds of thousands. The names William Ayers, Michael Moore, Jeremiah Wright, and Angela Davis, but it's not THAT William Ayers, Michael Moore Jeremiah Wright, or Angela Davis. Just happened to have the same names, just happened to be on the list of 110 out of hundreds of thousands.


Pull my other leg, Obozo, it has bells on. Why would the WH staff elect to place those 4 people on an incomplete list of visitors, knowing they would be "confused" with the famous people of the same name? Either this administration's staff is even more idiotic than we suspected, or we all just got punked for Halloween.

ive seen nothing to show that the rest of the names are not matches to the people we think they are.

and as far as ayers goes hes probably still on the list just not the list released.

Anonymous said...

im of the mind that if you want to hide something, hide it in plain sight.

I think it is more than possible that the people he would like to bring to the white house have allready been guests.

and the fact is that this orchestrated gotcha game is just more evidence of his lack of character to fill the shoes of this job.

petty and small that is who he is.

Epaminondas said...

They are ABSOLOOTELY not the Bill Ayers, OR Michael Jordan.

I'd put some work into the others as well.

Coincidence

I SAY;

YES, AND THAT'S SOMETHING FOR A POTUS TO BE PROUD OF, AIN'T IT?

BARACK OBAMA OUGHT TO BE VERY PROUD OF HIS ACCOMPLISHMENT.

IT LINES UP WITH THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF OTHER GREAT PRESIDENTS, LIKE REAGAN, ROOSEVELT, LINCOLN, WASHINGTON, ETC.

DON'T YOU THINK?

LMAO. Just because you're too stupid to realize different people can have the same name you're going to blame Obama for this? Just because you've been humiliated and exposed for not knowing what you're talking about? Just because you don't do any actual research and just assume whatever pops into your head is correct? Such is the life of a conservative blogger desperate for attention.
