Why is this even an article other than to attempt to make something out of nothing? This is true with every administration so what’s the big news flash here?

The herald printed this thinking they would get the people who talk badly about Obama to comment and look like dumb.
I for one cant stand what Obama has done to this country but this article is absolute garbage.
Every President has done this as far back as i can remember.
This is truly a non-story and not a negative on Obama.

Donors visiting the White House is pretty minor compared to the 80% of Dept. of Energy Green Loans went to Obama donors.
For all this guy promised in 2008, are you surprised he turned out to be someone else? A liar and crook is what we have.

However, the article is only refering to the visitors at the White House and that in itself is not an issue.
The distribution of taxpayers money to his cronies however is a problem and one that the Herald will not put into print.

Don’t get me started. Remember Cheney being the past president of Halliburton and then giving HUGE government contracts to that company for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Cheny still had stock in that company and stood to gain millions of dollars from those contracts.
