After Cheney claims exemption form oversight, Bush says me too!

The White House said Friday that, like Vice President Dick Cheney's office, President Bush's office is exempt from a presidential order requiring government agencies that handle classified national security information to submit to oversight by an independent federal watchdog.

The executive order that Bush issued in March 2003 covers all government agencies that are part of the executive branch and, although it doesn't specifically say so, was not meant to apply to the vice president's office or the president's office, a White House spokesman said.

So Bush issues an order to make sure that there is oversight to insure that our information is secure, without realizing that he would also have to comply with the new rules. Don't you hate it when that happens?

But I fail to see why they would not want to make sure that their information is just as safe as the information being handled by a Congressman or Senator. I mean all that it means is that somebody outside of your office will check your information to make sure that there are no security risks or discrepancies......ooohh! Okay now I get it.
