In September, the Administration apparently "changed course" (again), this time deciding that it WOULD reveal the names of White House visitors, except for a "small group" that in doing so would have national security concerns.

Of course, after the initial campaign promise of real transparency, the Administration in June decided it WASN'T a good idea - (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31373407/ns/politics-white_house/)

So now after we got all excited in September that we would actually be getting what was promised, the list revealed by the White House yesterday only had 110 names on it ?!?!?

Nothing has changed in Washington.


 

I stole the title from an article in today's WSJ by Joe Queenan.  I thought I would post the link here because it provides an interesting perspective on what people should expect from the President and I think I'm probably one of the few people here that reads the WSJ.

The key point is that people need to make sure they understand what the majority of the country wants, and not just what they want.  You can't honestly accuse the President of wimping out and caving to others unless what you want is what the majority of the country wants.  Sometimes we all need to take a step back and compare those two items.  He's governing for all of us, not just one or two of us.

See the link below, it's a quick read.
