Lloyd Blankfein. Serena Williams. Michael Jordan. Vikram Pandit. George Clooney. Al Gore. Al Franken.</p>
<p>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 <strong>President Obama</strong> since he took office in January.<span id="more-40941"></span></p>
<p>According to the White House, no administration has ever released a roster of the president&#8217;s visitors until now.  The White House posted the list on its <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/disclosures/visitor-records&lt;br &gt;&lt;/a&gt;">website</a> after <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2009/10/30/transparency-you’ve-never-seen-0">over 100 requests for disclosure</a>, and the administration promises that it will continue to share visitor information regularly beginning in December.<!--more--></p>
<p><strong>Andy Stern</strong>, president of one of the largest American unions SEIU, takes the cake for most visits with 22. But he&#8217;s easily outdone by former AIG CEO <strong>Maurice R. Greenberg</strong>, who visited Obama three times, so that&#8217;s about 60 billion bailout dollars per visit.</p>
<p><strong>William Ayers</strong> and <strong>Jeremiah Wright</strong> also visited the Oval Office. But not <em><a href="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/02/obamas_weatherman_connection.html">that</a></em> Williams Ayers or <em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36T1fnIafC0">that</a></em> Jeremiah Wright. Just people with the same name. The White House<a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2009/10/30/transparency-you’ve-never-seen-0"> dodged that bullet</a>, writing that &#8220;Given this large amount of data, the records we are publishing today include a few &#8216;false positives&#8217; — names that make you think of a well-known person, but are actually someone else.&#8221;</p>
<p>That said, Mediaite wants to know if it was the real <strong>Michael Jordan</strong>. And if hoops were involved. Or <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/online/next-up-the-president-plays-too-much-sexist-golf/">golf</a>.</p>
