The White House appears to have revealed more than it may have intended when it published an Excel spreadsheet of visitors to the presidential complex.  Claiming to release data for the first two weeks of September, dates on many of the visits fall outside that range, as first brought to light at BigGovernment.com.

And with the White House’s transparency comes its publication of its inner circle.

Two groups of entries caught our eye. Besides the fact that ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis visited the White House residence in early September, two other key groups appear in the logs.

Fresh off his swearing-in ceremony (30 minutes to be exact), the Who’s Who of liberal politics joined the new administration at a celebrative luncheon in the Old Executive Office Building.

In addition to the new administration’s staff (which aren’t listed in the logs), the heads of several special interest groups appear.  Of 19 luncheon visitors listed, the notables include:

SEIU President Andy Stern

SEIU Vice President Anna Burger

Steelworkers President Leo Gerard

AFL-CIO President Rich Trumka

Howard Dean

Center for American Progress President John Podesta

EMILY’s List President Ellen Malcolm

NARAL President Nancy Keenan

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards

Abortion and Organized Labor sums up Obama’s inner circle.  Isn’t that swell.

On the health care reform front, a May 11 meeting in the Roosevelt Room took place with POTUS himself.  The key players in health care reform? 

SEIU President Andy Stern

SEIU Health care head Dennis Rivera

Karen Ignagni, President and CEO of America’s Health Insurance Plan (AHIP)

Greater New York Hospital Association President Kenneth Raske

American Medical Association President John Rohack

Pfizer CEO Jeffrey Kindler

PhRMA lobbyist Billy Tauzin

Besides SEIU, as it has been pushing ObamaCare since his candidacy, it’s interesting to note the AMA and Pfizer jumped on board to support the legislation.

This is just the first of our analysis conducted on the visitor records of the White House.  More will likely be on its way…
