A growing media frustration with Barack Obama’s team spilled into the open at Thursday’s briefing, with reporters accusing the White House of stifling access to his oath re-do and giving Obama’s first interview as president to a multi-million dollar inauguration sponsor.
Growing frustration? Wow, that sounds familiar. Maybe its because myself and every single Republican have felt it since Obama started running?
A little piece of trivia was included in the story. ABC News was granted special access to the DC inaugeral ball, which they paid millions for.
So much for the man of the people.
Here's another fun tidbit.
The 'most open administration ever' started a press conference with a briefing on Guantanamo. However, the administration wanted the briefers referred to as 'senior administration officials', and didn't want their real identities reported.
Keep in mind, they did this at a press conference.
According to the Washington Times:
"Why did the administration believe it was important for the American people not to know the name of the two senior administration officials who briefed us this morning on Guantanamo?" one reporter asked in the packed and steaming hot briefing room just off the White House West Wing.
Great question. I hope the press remembers to keep asking them.
