Sorry, Bush didn't take over healthcare, and it was you who complained for years about Cheney's meeting with oil tycoons. Bush didn't jack up the deficit either, except to the extent he didn't veto the bills coming from Congress. He pushed tax cuts the entire 8 years. Sorry, you people FAIL again.

How so? Are you denying that the right wing is guilty of the very same double standard that they are now complaining about? LOL

I'm saying what goes around, comes around. So just suck it up.

I fail to see why this is a big deal, other than the double standard involved.

If someone came up to my door and asked me for a list of people who had visited my house in the past week, I would laugh in his face and slam the door. Why should it be any different with elected officials? They should be treated like ordinary citizens, not more not less.

Not when they're crafting public policy. :doh

Just curious...

Why is seeing such a list so important other than the principle of releasing it, i.e., "transparancy in DC"? Are some suggesting that backdoor politics...business as usual...taking place within the Obama Administration? I'm just curious what the angle about not releasing such a list is all about.

Remember all the BS flack Bush got for having closed door meetings during their energy policy meetings? It's a new low standard set by Democrats.

I guess when the shoe is on THIER foot, they don't like the precedents they set under Bush do they?
