Group Sues Obama White House for Acting Like Bush/Cheney

ABC NEWS The good-government group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, filed a lawsuit today to force the President Obama to share White House visitors logs with the public.

“We’re suing because the Obama Administration has made it clear that they are continuing the policies and practices of the Bush administration and claiming that White House visitors’ records are off limits to the public,” said Anne Weismann, chief counsel for CREW.

Weismann said White House visitors’ logs can “offer a great deal of insight about pressures and influences people can bring to bear on policies.”

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman are not supporting this effort.
