Republicans want answers on White House e-mails

(AP) – 47 minutes ago

WASHINGTON — A mass e-mail from a top adviser to President Barack Obama has the leading Republican on a House oversight panel looking for answers.

California Rep. Darrell Issa is asking the White House lawyer for details about a health care overhaul e-mail signed by Obama adviser David Axelrod.

Administration officials say the e-mail was sent only to people who signed up for a White House e-mail list that is typically used to provide updates on the president's speeches.

Issa on Monday cited reports that some people received the e-mail even though they never signed up. Critics say that suggests the White House combined its taxpayer-funded list with member rolls from other political groups.

The White House says it did nothing wrong.

"Oopsy...we accidentally erased them."

:thumbsup:

Gotta love it.

While they're at it have Cameron Diaz swing by with a 12-pack of Miller and a pizza.

I haven't seen one yet. Has anyone?

friends who think they need to hear about the bill direct from the source?

Then again, I believe I am signed up for updates from the White House

Got it.

got my e-mail address?

i'll stop.

That's more his speed.

Honestly, no administration should be violating the Hatch Act. If something happened, a correction is needed. The administration is still fairly new. They are entitled to a bit of a grace period. I suspect that people signed up and then forgot about it. I wonder if the list includes people who signed up for White House e-mails during the Bush administration? That would seem quite logical to me. After all, the e-mail was not a political e-mail in the usual sense. It was a White House government e-mail. Why would they drop the e-mail list that Bush set up. Those people would be entitled to the same information as everyone else who signed up on a White House e-mail list. Did Bush even have a list?

But, of course, that won't happen.
