The Cleveland papers report that NBA star LeBron James and a few of his homies visited Barack Obama in the White House on Monday. This is odd since traditionally the NBA champs visit the president, not the sore losers.
But I guess tradition and protocol go out the window when your home boy is president. I wonder how Kobe Bean and the Lakers feel about LeBron visiting before they even get in the door?
This brings up an interesting fact about Obama refusing to ante up the names of visitors to the White House since he became president.
You may recall that Obama campaigned against such secrecy when Bush was still in the White House. Obama didn’t see any reason why the White House visitors list should be kept a secret. But now that he is president, of course he changes his tune.
Well, there’s a federal lawsuit winding its way through the courts — and a federal judge has twice ordered that the Secret Service produce the list of names. But ole Obama is stubbornly blocking the release of those names until the case reaches the Supreme court I guess.
This means that information which should be made public is being withheld by Obama, who promised transparency in his administration. Lol.
This also means that Obama can sneak a chick or two into the White House and we, or for that matter, Michelle Obama, would never know it.
