The press is complaining mightily about being denied access to President Obama's second round of oath-taking, and is moaning about a new policy of being handed "official" photos rather than being allowed to take their own:
"Representatives from Obama's press office held a conference call with photo editors, who are concerned that the administration prefers distributing photos taken by a White House photographer in cases where photojournalists have been permitted access in the past." (Emphasis mine)
You mean after three whole days they're already missing the "good old days" of the Chimpy McHitler Administration, when the pressers were allowed to do their jobs instead of being managed like a herd of sheep? Well, you guys championed Obama's election, so deal with it.
In related news, The Messiah got a little irritated with the White House Press Corps when he stopped in to say hello, and they had the "audacity" to actually ask him some questions about his immediately breaking yet another campaign promise by nominating a lobbyist for Raytheon to be a Deputy Defense Secretary:
"'Ahh, see,' he said, 'I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here.'"
How dare those people do their job of holding you accountable for your promises instead of just blindly worshipping you, eyes shining with wonder, eh? You're going to find out very soon, sir, that you're no longer the adored candidate they wanted to win, but are now the guy in charge that makes the news, and the more conflict and strife that they report about that guy, the more money they make. Good luck with that.
Of course, there's always one star-struck lackey in every crowd:
"The president was quickly saved by a cameraman in the room who called out: 'I’d like to say it one more time: ‘Mr. President.’' ”
Pathetic. I'll bet he moonlights as a paparazzi.
