What are the odds: White House claims the Bertha Lewis, Malik Shabazz, Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers that visited the White House aren’t who we think they are
So, recently Politico and BigGovernment broke a story about the highly controversial CEO of ACORN, Bertha Lewis not only visiting the White House, but according to visitor logs, having a meeting in the White House residence, which only happens by Presidential request.
Now, the White House has stated that it was a ‘different’ Bertha Lewis, but declined to give any details or information on the new Miss Lewis so that it could be confirmed that the visitor in question wasn’t the CEO of ACORN.
However, it isn’t just that the White House had a visitor with the same name as the ACORN CEO, but who happens to be a ‘different’ person. The White House visitor logs also have visitors with the names of Malik Shabazz, Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers. However, again, a White House spokesperson claims that these are ‘different’ people than their infamous counterparts.
Andrew Breitbart of BigGoverment.com has this on the phantom visitors:
Since we have no information on how to hunt down the “other” Bertha Lewis — Ms. Psaki wouldn’t reveal who she is, citing “privacy concerns” — Big Government will err on the side of prudence and grant the White House its side of the story. I did ask Smith to find out biographical details on the other Wright, Ayers and Shabazz, but apparently privacy concerns apply to them, as well.
I end with this question: What is the point of the White House issuing visitor logs if those named can’t be identified and verified? “Transparency” would seem to call for nothing less, especially when those innocent people could easily be confused with the head of an organization recently defunded by Congress, a controversial preacher who shouted “God Damn America,” and an unrepentant domestic terrorist.
So, while there certainly are lots of people in this country with the same name, we have to ask what the odds of having four people visit the White House that just happen to have the same names as four very controversial people that Barack Obama has had previous tight ties to?
