Gibbs: Obama Donors Not Given White House Perks
The Hill: Responding to an article in The Washington Times this morning -- which charged the White House was offering special perks to top Democratic donors -- Gibbs cast doubt on the story and insisted the president had implemented the "toughest ethics and transparency rules of any administration in history."
The press secretary also reminded reporters that the White House would soon begin releasing the names of all visitors who enter the White House on a daily basis -- a move the president had announced this summer.
"As the statement we issued said, contributing doesn't guarantee a visit to the White House," Gibbs said during Wednesday's press briefing, noting "hundreds of thousands of people have visited this White House" since the president was inaugurated.
