On April 27, President Obama welcomed the University of Connecticut Lady Huskies, who had just won the NCAA women's basketball championship.
After the event, President Obama went to the White House basketball court to shoot hoop with the Lady Huskies. The White House press corps was not allowed to attend.
Reads the print pool report from that day: "After shaking hands with the team's parents and members of Congress who showed up, the president walked the team over to his basketball court and shot hoops. The pool was held back from the stroll down the drive and around the corner, and couldn't see the court. Poolers could hear periodic cheering coming from the other side of the bushes."
Read the TV pool report: "Your Pool was not allowed to go over and shoot POTUS with the team shooting hoops. We protested loudly."
Now we know why: Obama White House officials decided to do their own media report on the visit, complete with cuts, interviews, and chyrons identifying who's speaking.
Also, just like a network, they have their own little logo!
Cute!

I wouldn't have a problem with this except that tax money is being wasted on this, and I say wasted, because there's be no lack of coverage of these events. This is all about controlling what we see and here. He has already done that by putting liberal bloggers in the press pool and ignoring more seasoned reporters.

O wants total control. He doesn't want unscripted questions and so a govt controlled ministry of truth will squeeze out the very people who put him into office.

It isn't just barack, he has surrounded himself with people that don't know how to lead at any level - all barack and his staff can do is campaign.

So much for that "transparent" administration we all kept hearing about.
I know the Obots will try to spin this as a, "But it's their day and we didn't want the media spoiling it" crap, but at some point they're going to have to come clean on all the stuff we're seeing from this administration but not being told about by the MSM.
There WILL be a day of accounting. Bet on it.

Kinda like the last Dem President we had.

Yes, the permanent campaign, war room and all.
It was good for two terms, sadly.
