White House Releases Obama’s Visitor Log (Hello, William Ayers?)
Oprah. Lloyd Blankfein. Serena Williams. Michael Jordan. Vikram Pandit. George Clooney. Al Gore. Al Franken.
No, not the invite list to the coolest party of all time. Just a few of the characters who have shot the bull (and maybe worked out a few deals) in the Oval Office with President Obama since he took office in January.
According to the White House, no administration has ever released a roster of the president’s visitors until now. The White House posted the list on its website after over 100 requests for disclosure, and the administration promises that it will continue to share visitor information regularly beginning in December.
Andy Stern, president of one of the largest American unions SEIU, takes the cake for most visits with 22. But he’s easily outdone by former AIG CEO Maurice R. Greenberg, who visited Obama three times, so that’s about 60 billion bailout dollars per visit.
William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright also visited the Oval Office. But not that Williams Ayers or that Jeremiah Wright. Just people with the same name. The White House dodged that bullet, writing that “Given this large amount of data, the records we are publishing today include a few ‘false positives’ — names that make you think of a well-known person, but are actually someone else.”
That said, Mediaite wants to know if it was the real Michael Jordan. And if hoops were involved. Or golf.
