According to a NYT report "The White House on Wednesday invoked the separation of powers to keep Desiree Rogers, President Obama’s social secretary, from testifying on Capitol Hill about how a couple of aspiring reality television show celebrities crashed a state dinner for the prime minister of India last week. “I think you know that, based on separation of powers, staff here don’t go to testify in front of Congress,’’ Mr. Obama’s press secretary, Robert Gibbs, told reporters during his regular briefing. “She won’t — she will not be testifying in front of Congress.’’... "

This was the hallmark of the Cheney-Bush administration- block Congress. NowMr. Obama is stooping to the same level of standards. Unfortunately for Obama, the expectations are higher, so this will be regarded as an ethical and moral failure on his part. It is rather atrocious that he used the power of executive privilege for so insignificant an issue. Mr. Obama appears to be working hard to be a one-time president.
