She still would deny it. Keep her comment on file to use the next time she posts with a link.

The point remains that the President's cabinet meets personally about once a week.

How somebody gets from 100 meetings to "zero contact" requires a certain amount of rhetorical liberality, don't you think?
I'll play the same game. I want 3 links from substantiated sources that the Obama cabinet meets every week.

I swear to Og, if someone rightwinger writes something down, even if it's filled with vague, unsourced and unconfirmed allegations, a whole bunch of you will just believe it without a single shred of evidence. And worse still you don't even bother to do your own verification. A simple web search puts the lie to this nonsense, yet most of you are so determined to hate the President, that you'd rather believe the worst than find out the truth. Well, here's the truth.

Obama meets with EPA Administrator Jackson (Lisa P. Jackson)
Obama participates in the daily briefing call with Gulf Coast Governors on the BP oil spill (Lisa P. Jackson)
Obama holds a Cabinet Meeting (All of them)
Obama meets with U.S. Trade Representative Kirk (Ronald Kirk)
Obama and Premier Wen Jiabao of China participate in a working lunch (Ronald Kirk)
Obama and Premier Wen Jiabao of China hold a bilateral meeting (Ronald Kirk)
Obama meets with his national security team for his monthly meeting on Afghanistan and Pakistan (Susan Rice, actually all of them)
Obama meets with his national security team on Afghanistan and Pakistan (Susan Rice)
Obama meets with his National Security Team on the Situation on the Korean Peninsula (Susan Rice)
Obama holds a meeting on the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (Arne Duncan)
Obama meets with the Presidential Economic Recovery Advisery Board (Arne Duncan)
Obama meets with Secretary of Education Duncan and Representative George Miller (Arne Duncan)
Obama holds a meeting with Secretary LaHood (Ray LaHood)
Obama and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood tour construction site (Ray LaHood)
Obama meets with Secretary Donovan (Shaun Donovan)
Obama and Biden attend the Middle Class Task Force Meeting (All of them)
Obama meets with regulators (Shaun Donovan)
Obama meets with Secretary of Labor Solis and Mine Safety and Health Administrator Main (Hilda Solis)
Obama and Biden meet with Secretary Solis (Hilda Solis)
Obama and Biden meet w/ members of Congress to discuss immigration (Hilda Solis)
Obama and Biden meet with Secretary Vilsack (Thomas Vilsack)
Obama meets with a bipartisan group of Senators to discuss energy (Thomas Vilsack)
Obama meets with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack (Thomas Vilsack)

Now, who's going to admit they were wrong and go tell everyone you spread this garbage around to that it was a lie?
Boy, you really get wound up.

To play you game, we want 3 substantiated sources for each cabinent member.

I picked one of your links at random. It is an article from the wash post. You don't trust the other media but, you use the wash post.

"Obama holds a Cabinet Meeting (All of them)


June 22, 2010 - 4 p.m.
Cabinet Room, White House
Washington, District of Columbia
Issues: Agriculture, Courts and Judiciary, Crime and Law Enforcement, Defense, Economy, Education, Energy and Environment, Foreign Policy, Health Care, Homeland Security, Immigration, National Security and Intelligence, Science and Technology, Social Issues, Transportation, Veterans Affairs

Event type: MeetingExpected attendeesYou will note the article states expected attendees. We don't know if they showed up or not. You will also note not all the cabinents are represented.

So I will say that source can be excluded.

You may want to scrub your list.

How about you prove that one of these meetings didn't happen? Just show that one of the meetings on that list didn't happen.

You must be arguing with somebody else.

Because I am certainly not playing that game.

I think he thinks he's arguing with me. I also think he thinks that by posting the details from one of the meetings I linked to, that he has somehow "refudiated" it. It's odd, but there you have it.

I wonder which 6 of these people President Obama has had ZERO contact with.

I never inferred any of those meetings did not happen. Jill does not believe the OP. She demanded 3 referrences to support the claim.

She supplied a list to substantiate her position. I checked one item on her list at random. The item is nothing more than an article from the Wash Post. (remenber she will not accept anything from the other media source cited).

She even added "(All of them)" referring to the entire cabinent after the link.

The link states Expected attendees. Not every cabinent member is cited. we also don't know who actually did attend. certainly not the entire cabinent.

therefore her post is bogus.

It is not odd. You wanted 3 sources from others. But, when you cite a source it is expected to be taken as gospel. Well I randomly checked one of your sources and it is a bogus citing if it was meant to justify your position.
