So much for the "most transparent administration..."
The memo followed the submission to the White House last Thursday of a letter signed by 38 US media organisations to protest limits on photographers’ access.
“Journalists are routinely being denied the right to photograph or videotape the president while he is performing his official duties,” the letter said. “As surely as if they were placing a hand over a journalist’s camera lens, officials in this administration are blocking the public from having an independent view of important functions of the executive branch of government.”
The letter was signed by all the US network news divisions and major media organisations, including Gannett, owner of USA Today. USA Today is in the top tier of American newspapers, with a daily subscription base of about 1.7m, including digital editions.
“The sign had holes poked in it like somebody had stuck a knife through it,” Tom Priem told Fox News. “At first I thought it was somebody who didn’t like Obama.”
So imagine the Texas couple’s surprise when they discovered the anti-Obama, sign destroyer was a buck. Beth Priem was able to snap the following photo just moments after the sign was trashed.
Obama's Disdain For The Constitution Means We Risk Losing Our Republic
The shocking fact is that our whole system of representative government depends on it being led by an individual who believes in it; who thinks it is valuable; who believes that a government dedicated to the protection of individual rights is a noble ideal. What if he does not?
Oh thank God. Finally someone has the nads to stand up for quality H20. Bobby Boucher must be grinning from ear to ear. No longer will Americans be thirsty because Michelle has shown them the way. Think of all the near-dehydrations that will be averted by this proactive campaign. Also, I’m digging the pun: water just gets drowned out. Ha ha. With stuff that edgy I’d bet Chris Rock is writing her material.
You know the First Lady is on shaky ground when the LA Times starts giving her crap. The same newspaper that assigns every reporter and editor a place on the collective Obama buttocks to affix their lips to. :rofllol In an Op/Ed piece on Tuesday Johan Goldberg wrote:
Although on one level it may seem as if Obama is breaking the corporate grip on our drinking habits by celebrating the original no-frills beverage, it’s more like she’s pulling a Ferris Bueller: jumping in front of a parade in progress and acting as if it were for her all along. There’s nothing more mainstream than going with the flow.
