What a terrible idea. Why should the American public have access to who is going to visit the President at the White House? Why should the public have access to records and transcripts of what our elected officials are doing "on our behalf"? Surely it's much much better that the government be run in secret and without us knowing what is going on and who is influencing it.
Of course this will never go anywhere because it would have to be passed by Congress and signed by the President. I'm certain they agree with me that it's ridiculous that the American public have access to information about government workings.

It's seldom I would agree with a bunch of Democrats, but this isn't a bad idea. I think the people have a right to know who visits the President, Vice President, Members of the House, Senate, and Cabinet-level officials if they want. A very few might be redacted for national security reasons, but I don't see this as a big deal. If the President conducts official business away from the White House, then those lists should be made available. It seems some Dems get their nickers all in a wad because President Trump conducts business at some of his private residences. They should recall that George W. Bush conducted some business at the Ranch. Pres Obama had never reached a level of financial success prior to being elected President to own properties where he could conduct business. The Government owned facilities at the WH and Camp David were the best he could do. #CommunityOrganizer

LTC Coe: I had no idea that Pres O'bama used Camp David. However, we pay for it, therefore, it would be nice if they ALL used it for its designed purpose.

There should be some transparency, but it's not something we need micromanaged. The media, which had its blinders on during the Obama Administration, all of a sudden now thinks it's important? Meh... Bet you won't see tax cheat Al Sharpton visiting 100+ times... And race-baiter Jesse Jackson won't be a regular either.

You still on that Jesse Jackson and Al thing?? NO body cares what those two are doing!! Let it go, by the way ask any black person about them two and you will get the same answer- they don't represent us.

Capt Jeff S. - Don't want to interfere with the discussion going on here but I believe that Al Sharpton now has his own show on MSNBC?
