Obama White House issues first release of visitor logs

Posted late this afternoon on the White House blog. These cover 110 disclosure requests about specific visitors from January 20 through July 31. More will be forthcoming.....

The names disclosed today include union leaders, finance executives, world and domestic political names, celebrities and plenty of folks you've never heard of. The database also shows whether those visitors saw President Obama himself, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, or someone else at the White House; or perhaps they were just going through the visitors' center.

Says the White House, some of the names are "false positives," -- in other words, someone who shares a famous or infamous name but isn't the well-known person. The William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright entries were real visitors, but not ex-Weatherman Bill Ayers or ex-Obama pastor Rev. Wright.
