| The White House press corps on Sunday expressed frustration with the lack of access given to President Obama this weekend, during his trip to Florida. White House Correspondents Association President Ed Henry released a statement Sunday evening, saying that the press corps had not been given adequate access to the president and that the group would press for “transparency” in the future, according to a pool report.

Why does press what access when its members are only able to ask Obama fawning questions? If Obama held a presser today, questions would be on his improved backswing, why he thought Republcans were undermining him, how Mooch´s ski vacation compared to his getaway, Rubio´s water bottle and how it feels to be honored on Presidents Day. There would not be a single question on his pattern of lies, his total lack of transparency, his enormous deficits, his failed stimulus, soaring health care premiums, falling living standards or Bengazi, Syria, Egypt or any country.
So just why does the press even bother complaining?

He can´t govern so he´s rubbing it in our noses. Have they tried calling Tiger´s favorite local escort service?
(Heard walking off the tee: "Tiger, what did that divorce cost?" "750 million." "Was it worth it?")

Regardless, Obama is still their guy. ´Expressing frustration´ and general whining will be the most that the press corp will do. Obama will flash those pearly whites at them once and all will be back to normal in the kingdom

Perhaps a urinalysis should be required before he´s allowed back aboard AF1? If Obama´s favorite recreational drugs are discovered, no admission.
In a related story, CNN reports this morning that in order to reduce deficit, Obama as flown back to Washington on Jet Blue.

Whether the press has access or not it will be the same result. They have their marching orders and are good little soldiers. Every now and then they have to whine a bit to secure their fine reputations of being so unbiased.
They have done nothing but lie and cover up for Obama and his administration. They are pathetic sycophants who must bear much of the blame for the misery that we are all feeling and will continue to feel because their ideology was more important than truth.

Quite frankly, I´m glad they don´t have access to him. Nothing would change if they did, and I´m happy to have a day without him, without the constant reminders that he´s where he is and who he is, and what he´s doing every minute of every day he´s destroying the country.
I know it´s all still there, but if I don´t have to accidentally see his face or hear his voice in his current missive to his minions, fine and dandy with me.

Or else they could stay the hell away from the election process because they have proven time after time they are not qualified to select any of our leaders.

Since they aren´t getting access anyway, they should get up off their knees, wipe off their chins and do some real reporting. It wouldn´t get them any more access but it might save their papers/networks/jobs from going bankrupt.

Maybe that’s what Obama needs to make his royal, regal, imperial administration more transparent. Up to now, it’s demonstrated about as much transparency as a lead-lined brick wall. How many times has he pledged that he “will not rest until” something or other is accomplished? At least dozens of times, I would venture to say; and he says it usually at rallies and campaign stops in front of enthusiastic, noisily cheering crowds of his loyal, low-information-voting supporters.

How times change. I recall my father relating how the press used to excoriate Eisenhower for all the time he spent on the golf course... that´s Ike... the guy who successfully led the invasion of Europe. I wonder how the two presidents compare when it comes to "time on the course". Also, maybe someone could check to see if Ike ever spontaneously decided to go golfing at Fort Belvoir on a weekend afternoon which, in turn, inconvenienced all those golfers who had reserved tee times for that afternoon? Funny, you never read any interviews of golfers who were tossed off a golf course for the convenience of the Commander in Chief.

Isn´t that "special?" Obama thinks President´s Day is a "vacation day" for presidents. Poor Tiger, trying to "teach" blockhead Obama anything "new" is a lost cause. Maybe Obama is recruiting Tiger with his "history" which impresses democrats for "something" in his administration.

If only we could get the press to believe that Tiger was at Benghazi , perhaps they might show some interest. A golf game is the only interest they´ve ever shown in the non transparent White House. The Bush White House didn´t have this type of PR problem because unlike Obama, President Bush did not frolic and party-out of respect to the soldiers and Marines fighting and dying in the war zones.

They´re only jealous because they love him more than all those other people. It´s got nothing to do with asking questions or exposing truth.
Their hero-worship has always been rewarded with backhands and cold shoulders and they´ve kept it up. To the point of frenzy during the campaign. Why would anyone think they actually care about news gathering now? They just want to be close to him again.

Whether or not they have access to the President is not the main point. The questions they ask when they do get an opportunity are what count. To date, after more than four years, virtually none of these people have asked any questions that are pertinent to the Country. Either ask the tough questions or go to the society pages. Obama CANNOT answer tough questions because then all the World would know what kind of person he really is.

That CBS’ Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer, of all people, nodded in agreement when Rep. Darrell Issa asserted on Schieffer’s Sunday morning show that the administration had engaged in a cover-up regarding Benghazi is a huge sign that this scandal is finally being taken seriously by the most traditional establishment liberal media.This is bad news for such über-establishment figures as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, but they are politicians who come and, alas eventually, though it seems to take forever, go.

Some of the law´s main advocates fear that not enough of America´s 49 million uninsured will know about health coverage offered in their own states.

On Saturday, she remained jailed on a Santa Rosa County warrant for alleged violation of probation, forgery and giving a false name to law enforcement, said Art Forgey, a spokesman for the Alachua County Sheriff´s Office. Heist, who used the assumed name Kelsie Lyanne Smith, is awaiting extradition, Forgey told CNN affiliate WJXT. She turned herself in Friday.

There’s a brouhaha a-brewin’ over comments by Niall Ferguson at an investor conference. Ferguson suggested that because John Maynard Keynes was gay, effete, and childless he might have lacked concern for posterity. After all, Keynes famously proclaimed ”in the long run we’re all dead.” In a nigh-upon hysterical and terribly written item, Tom Kostigen of Financial Advisor says Ferguson took “gay-bashing to new heights.” He adds, “Apparently, in Ferguson’s world, if you are gay or childless, you cannot care about future generations nor society.” Now, I don’t know exctly what

The world’s most expensive memorial — the National September 11th Memorial and Museum — nearly became a fiscal flatliner, it was learned this week. If it weren’t for billionaire mayor and 9/11 memorial-museum chairman Mike Bloomberg’s “loan” of $15 million, the $700 million museum would have been history before it opened.Now, the world will find out what some of the more dogged 9/11 family members have known for years:

In some of its reports on Saturday night´s White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD), the Associated Press failed to include one of President Obama´s own gags. AP strangely left out the word "Muslim" in one of Obama´s self-referential jokes. Early in his comments on April 26, President Obama made reference to his young life with a joke and a visual image projected on the video screen. The President joked that everyone loves Michelle and mentioned that she has even appeared on magazine covers. The President said he also appeared on one and showed a mock magazine cover

What accounts for the galloping lushness of bad manners on Twitter? A recent incident may shed some light. When Bill Clinton appeared on Stephen Colbert’s television show in early April, Mr. Colbert expressed surprise that he didn’t have a Twitter feed. Mr. Clinton said he didn’t tweet because he’s “sort of insecure.” So Mr. Colbert set up an account (@PrezBillyJeff) and had the former president dictate his first tweet to him. Mr. Clinton added that he was worried he would attract no followers, saying, “There’s nothing worse than a friendless tweeter, right?”

Admit that you were transfixed by surveillance video of Boston’s brother bombers. It was quintessential “Gotcha!” for the noblest of causes. Testament to technology trumping wrongdoing, it gave cause for relief. Knock on wood, too, that the cops could track the cell phone left in the Mercedes SUV hijacked by one bomber. And those Google Maps aerial shots of the boat were pretty neat, right? The same technology, of course, can catch your everyday non-terrorist running a red light, parking illegally at a Dunkin’ Donuts or smooching with someone not your spouse.

Conservative bloggers cheered The New York Times on Friday for a 5,000-word investigative report dissecting abuse of a federal program to compensate farmers who had faced discrimination that writers on the right said vindicated the work of one of their icons — the late Andrew Breitbart.“Today Andrew Breitbart is smiling, and probably amazed,” the Washington Examiner’s Byron York wrote on Twitter. “New York Times goes deep into Pigford scandal.” (Snip) “I wish to God that Andrew Breitbart were alive to see this,” Stranahan wrote. “He fought this fight for years, was totally right and never

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

If ponies rode men and grass ate cows, And cats were chased into holes by the mouse … If summer were spring and the other way round, Then all the world would be upside down. Once in a long while, an event evokes one of my favorite historical images: the British Army band, at Lord Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown which sealed the Americans’ revolutionary victory, playing “The World Turned Upside Down.” In this case, the event is the dramatic change over the past two weeks

The Seattle Police Department collected more than 700 guns during a buyback in January, and now city officials have a plan for what to do with them. Mayor Mike McGinn is expected to announce Tuesday that they´ll be melted into bricks carrying messages of peace, and the bricks will be placed around the city. The buyback program was announced a month after last December´s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., by city leaders sick of hearing about gun violence.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

Top ABC News editor Don Ennis walked into his Manhattan office on Friday in a “little black dress” and a brunette bobbed wig and announced to colleagues that from now on, he would like to be known as Dawn. The 49-year-old father of three said he’s splitting from his wife of 17 years to become a woman, or Dawn Stacey Ennis, as she is now known on her governmental records. “Today I begin anew,” she wrote on her Facebook timeline, where she debuted a flirty new profile picture. “Please understand: This is not a game of

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee took to the House floor Monday night and implied that the right to health care and education exists in the Constitution. Ms. Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, also made the case that the moral authority for such services is also derived from the Declaration of Independence. “One might argue that education and health care fall into those provisions of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” she said. Ms. Jackson Lee added, “I think that what should be continuously emphasized is the president’s leadership on one single point: that although health care was not

Mark Sanford has won the South Carolina special election in a competitive race for what in normal circumstances is a safe Republican seat. The former governor beat Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert Busch, for the state’s 1st congressional district. The AP called the race for Sanford early in the evening, with the Republican leading Colbert Busch 54 percent 46 percent.
