Did you miss the Thanksgiving White House visitor log document dump?

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 28, 2011 02:00 PM

Just like clockwork, the Obama administration never misses an opportunity to unload thousands of records it hopes no one will ever bother sifting through during the holidays.

On Black Friday, the White House released more visitor log info — trumpeting disclosures it has fought tooth and nail.

I’ve started looking through the data. And you can, too, right here (suggestion: click on the release date and arrange with newest entries first – they’re dated 11/22/2011):

Powered by Socrata

A few things that jumped out at me:

This August 5, 2011 visit to the president by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and her party of 7 (click for full size):

She made no mention of the visit on her Aug. 5 show. What did she and POTUS discuss? Just wondering…

Fun fact: According to the White House logs, this was Maddow’s fifth trip to the White House — and fourth to see the president personally.

Another busy bee: Convicted felon, Huffington Post/Alinskyite agitator, and husband of Illinois Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Robert Creamer.

According to the newly released records, Creamer was at the White House five times in August 2011 meeting with various officials, including Jon Carson, Cecilia Munoz, and Stephanie Cutter. He’s listed nearly 60 times in visitor logs since the start of the administration.

Corruptocrats of a feather…

***

Parting thought: Why aren’t WaPo and the NYTimes crowd-sourcing the White House visitor log data like they did Sarah Palin’s e-mails? Hmmm?

Leave any interesting nuggets you find in the data in comments below or e-mails (writemalkin – at- gmail.com) or Tweet me: @michellemalkin.

    “In my heart, I know that these mistakes do not define or diminish this good man, or the good work that he has done over the last 40 years or that he will do in the future,” Schakowsky, D-Ill., said after her husband’s court hearing.

    Creamer, 58, a prominent Chicago political consultant, was accused of swindling nine financial institutions of at least $2.3 million while he ran a public interest group in the 1990s.

    Obama just needs his expertise…

    CA: What recent news story made you want to scream?

    VA: There’s not a day when I don’t feel like I’m screaming at my news feed! Right now, there’s a huge rash of story after story of conservatives going after women’s bodies, wanting to make so many decisions for us, taking away our power. They’re trying to take away birth control and abortion, and they’re even trying to take away access to education through financial aid and loans. All of that, it’s just so frustrating, the overwhelming sense that, as women, we are under attack.

    Randomly selected. Just to give you an idea who does have access to the WH and why you don’t!

    That is the People’s House. Look how it has been sullied! I want all the criminals, thugs, regressive morons, nasty talk show babes, communists, marxists and assorted union mafia members OUT OF MY HOUSE!! I am so disgusted by the filth this administration has allowed to defile this historic home, a symbol of our country that has housed the likes of Ronald Reagan.

    When Obama leaves, the house must be completely remodeled, fumigated, and there must be an exorcism performed. I am serious.

    I noticed quite a few visits by Kevin O’Reilly (the person in the WH that was in touch with Newell from the F&F scandal). Many of those visits were for a meeting on “the direction of the Western Hemisphere”. Makes you wonder what was discussed in that.

    Of course there were visits by Hoffa and I also saw visits by Spinner (you know the guy at DOE who was pushing Solyndra).

    Two separate visits by Clarisol Duque; both to see POTUS, and both visits described as “State Arrival – Mexico.” I gather that those are official visits by the Mexican president.

    Clarisol Duque, who is the Chicago director for the office of Sen. Dick Durbin, worked in the Obama campaign coordinating interviews for TV, radio and print for Latino surrogates such as Congressman Luis Gutiérrez and Congresswoman Linda Sánchez of California. She went door-to-door, traveled nearly all around the U.S. and even worked 14 hours a day from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. campaigning for the former senator.

    “This is the sacrifice I am making… and I did everything in my power for Obama to be president,” she said.

    Hispanic surnames abound.

    …And then it struck me:

    This president does nothing unless it has to do with money. Is there a better way to funnel cash, in both directions, than to hand deliver it, directly to the White House?

    These visitors, I would surmise, have been vetted more thoroughly than Obama’s political appointees. The Secret Service provides world class security, at a secure facility, as well…for free.

    As with Obama’s fundraising shenanigans in 2007-2008, specifically, the disabling of online safeguards for credit card donations, nothing surprises me.

    Any wrong-doing will not be looked into during his reign, and once he’s gone, the conservatives will have bigger issues to deal with than belated investigations, and possible prosecutions. He will get away with it.

    The fact that many of the visitors have Hispanic surnames should indicate not only where he’s pandering, but where the smoking gun will be found. This may be Obama’s brown bags of cash scandal…
