You got a new keyboard?NO is your imagination.
A watchdog group on Monday sued the U.S. government, accusing the Obama White House of interfering in and thwarting the release of public documents under the Freedom of Information Act.
The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by the group Cause of Action (CoA) names 12 federal agencies that delayed the release of documents so officials could consult with White House under a new process established in spring 2009.
The process, which gave White House officials review authority over documents that federal agencies wanted to release that mentioned the White House or presidential aides, was based on a previously secret April 15, 2009 memo by then-White House Counsel Gregory Craig that instructed all federal agencies to consult with Mr. Obama’s lawyers on the release of documents containing “White House equities.”
The lawsuit challenges that process, and says the term “White House equities” was never mentioned in the FOIA law and has been used to delay the legitimate release of public information.

I hope if Perry has to have a mug shot taken that he will in turn use it on his posters if he runs for president. Everything will be thrown out, but it will still cost him lots of $$$.
There is a pattern....hopefully the Dems are not too dumb and see what is going on.......Christie, Perry, and others have been faced with trumped up charges.
How about you, as our resident troll, lighten up.
BTW, the indictment against Perry is BS and will be thrown out. It will not impact his presidential aspirations---he will blow those on his own.
You don't get to define what a MOD is or is not suppose to do ... obviously.MODS are suppose to be independent thinkers, and not pot stirrers. Name calling is something you folks complain about, but when it comes to you, it appears that its ok.

Please explain, what does this mean?I LIKE THE EFFORT.
Via The Hill:
President Obama went back to his vacation on Martha’s Vineyard Tuesday evening following less than 48 hours in Washington, leaving people puzzled over why he came back in the first place.
Obama’s two days in Washington were mostly quiet, and concluded with the president receiving his daily national security briefing in the morning, and joining Vice President Biden to huddle with members of his economic team in the afternoon.
Administration officials have insisted for weeks that the president just wanted to return to the White House for a series of meetings, but the explanation was met with a healthy dose of skepticism, since Obama rarely interrupts his vacations.
Judicial Watch estimates the extra roundtrip cost $1.1 million. Only daughter Malia accompanied Obama back to Washington.
Speculation for why Obama returned focused around the possibility of a secret foreign leader meeting or the roll out of a new administration initiative on immigration or corporate taxes.
But no such explanation materialized.
The most unusual deviation from a normal day at the White House was Obama’s dinner Monday night at Sam Kass’s home. The president, joined by deputy chief of staff Anita Breckenridge, spent nearly five hours at the White House chef’s Dupont Circle duplex apartment.
