Under fire for allegedly hosting a secret Halloween theme party featuring movie star Johnny Depp at the White House in 2009, President Obama's spokesman punched back, calling reports about the party "irresponsible" and denying that the White House tried to hide the event from the public.
"There are outlets that have reported this as a secret party, which is just silly -- it's irresponsible reporting to suggest that you would have a pool report and the press at an event that's secret" White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said today during the press briefing, adding that photos of Johnny Depp were available from the party. "This wasn't a publicity event, this was an event for military children," Carney also noted.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
If it wasn’t ‘secret’, then why are we just now, over two years later, finding about about it?........
Captain Thin Skin speaks.
Fine, then tell us the names of the White House Press Corps that were members of the pool for the event.
Because the media thought it might make Obama look bad so the media covered it up.
Technically he’s correct: the media, not Obama, deemed it a secret.
Methinks the military children was just for cover.
Don't hold your breath.
Who said there are no secrets in DC?..........
plus Michelle Malkin says she can’t find any of the attendees in the WH visitor log
How do we know what o’s people said to the o loving media about the party? Did the press all come individually to the decision to not report it? that would be quite a coincidence.
That is a secret worthy of keeping; but, out missle secrets he gives to the Russians. I feel like I'm living in a bad movie.
There used to be mysterious gaps in Clinton’s visitors log also.
At any rate, secret or not (and it obviously was meant to be) this party was in horrible taste, classless and over the top and in a time when the obama created economy was causing many Americans to suffer.
You don’t have to tell a fish to swim.
It’s no coincidence that they all swim. It’s nature.
Is there some connection to F&F or Solyndra or else why are they trying to stop the media talking about this?
Mister Transparent threw a million dollar tea party as a joke.
Methinks the military children was just for cover.
Methinks the 'military children event' is pure hogwash. Since when has Obama passed up a opportunity to use the military (or their children) to his advantage?
