Watchdog groups and Republicans on Capitol Hill want an investigation into hundreds of White House meetings with corporate lobbyists at D.C. coffee houses. K Street influence peddlers told The New York Times last week that they've met routinely with Team Obama officials over the past 18 months to discuss policy matters -- at Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, even on a side lawn -- with the express purpose of circumventing the public's right to know.

Obama promised transparency. He also promised there would be no lobbyist in his White House. Well he's keeping his promises by having his people meet with influence peddlers at local coffee houses thus avoiding any records of visits on the WH visitor logs. More lies and deceptions from this administration.
