White House defense: Visitor logs too unreliable to reveal whether Shulman visited 157 times

How utterly lame! Obama really expects people to believe this BS?

Most people will believe it, or at least thing it's plausible enough to let Obama off the hook.

If Obama issued a statement saying the problem is due to misplaced decimal point, and Shulman only visited the White House 1.57 times, people would accept that too.

When I worked for a defense contractor we had to sign into any secure location we went. Sure, sometimes we would have our clearance information forwarded and then not show up if a meeting was canceled or if we didn't now who would attend so just sent all the potential visitors' info, but that never changed the need to actually sign on the visitors' log when we showed up.

I expect that the White House would be much, much more strict that the defense locations I went to, so I call BS on this whole thing. About the only possibility is people getting special access without signing in the log, but that means 157 would be the minimum number of times Shulman went to the White House.

They could invite Lady Gaga, all the wrestlers from WWE, and even some dead voters into the White House....no one would really know.

I believe if Shulman was a personal guest of the kenyan that visit wouldn’t even be in the logs.

Gee! Thanks for just dropping me into the gutter of despair. (sobbing uncontrollably) LOL.

'Some visits by top officials are never even noted in the visitors logs. A comparison of the situation room photo from the night of the bin Laden raid — May 1, 2011 — to the visitor logs, for example, shows that several of the officials in the photo never appear in the public access records."

This is getting really stupid.

The next one will be.....the WH knows at least 157 different Douglas Shulmans.

[Dilbert San Diego]

These people can’t maintain a log of White House visitors, but they are going to control all the details of our healthcare, among other issues. Go figure............

[Empireoftheatom48]

I would also like to know who the 2nd, 3rd and 4th people are who visited. Who are they and why did they visit so often?

[GotMojo]

Hey IRS, I’m not sure I actually earned that income. Can I get a refund? You know I meant to earn the income (I was pre-cleared), but I’m not sure I actually earned it. Give me my money back......

Bingo! We have a winner.

So maybe the 157 times was maybe not the right figure?

Could it be....the actual number was MUCH, MUCH higher, almost a daily occurrence, perhaps?

Nowhere is it recorded that Rush Limbaugh has visited the WH even ONCE during the term of the Current Occupant.

Yet Rush has been living rent-free inside their heads all this time.

[elpadre]

hummm! are they suggesting one cannot trust the Secret Service documents??

[Jack Deth]

I’m confused.

Aren’t sign in and guest logs admissible in courts of laws to establish alibis. Or used as exhibits to establish guide and time lines in either prosecution or defense?

And wouldn’t there be a receptionist of sorts to monitor said logs? Especially at such a fine, tax funded establishment as the White House?

Keep up the hearing and investigations. Soon there will be so many small fires blazing the White House will trip over itself with the size, number and enormity of their flat out silly lies!

[Kozak]

Right. There I’d NO RECORD of who attended meetings at the White Hut.

[newnhdad]

the defense for corruption and violation of federal statutes is “we’re just too effing dumb to keep accurate records”..

3rd world executive branch bump for later....
