PRO-OBAMA JOURNALISTS GET PAID WITH TAXPAYER MONEY, TO SURROUND OBAMA DURING HOLIDAY IN HAWAII

(Dec. 11, 2009) — Just after the aftermath of yet another insult to our allies via the refusal to participate to the traditional events surrounding the award of the Nobel Prize including a dinner with the King, on the pretenses that the recipient was a very busy, sitting “President,” responsible for not one, but two, wars and facing the worst economic crisis “EVAHHH!”, the White House is quietly organizing yet another vacation-time for the Obamas.

They would have you believe that nothing has been decided yet, when in fact the logistics of booking their 13 day vacations in Hawaii, from December 23 to January 3, are in full swing!

And the invitations for the entourage are out!

Yesterday, December 10, Laurence Haim, the only French-Press-accredited, White House correspondent — but for the AFP — revealed that she had received an email inviting her and a guest to stay for the duration of Obama’s trip to Hawaii, at a Hotel next to the Obamas’ vacations spot. Her revelations were aired on the French TV leading evening news program.

The White House Press Corp pays their own way on presidential travel. Hotel, flights, food, everything. In fact some news organizations (Time, Newsweek) don’t travel on Air Force anymore because they can’t afford it.

Believe me, Obama doesn’t want the press hanging around on his vacation. The administration is obligated keep the press corp near the president wherever he goes. The only reason the WH is allowing the press Corp to brig guests is because these journalists won’t be home with their families for December 25th. It’s common courtesy.

As the press grows more crtitical of Obama the more he disdains them and the less access he lets them have.

Imagine the howls & sarcasm if this were a republican president. Here, "reporters" will be scrambling to reserve their seat instead.

I know its a tired complaint, but I still believe these media hypocrites need to be exposed at every opportunity.

I remember the press being kept at a distance during previous presidential vacations, and I distinctly recall the road block a half mile from Bush’s Crawford Ranch. Photo ops were always provided as a matter of courtesy, but I don’t remember ANYTHING like the last Obama in Hawaii orgy. Sounds like they want a redux to pump up the boy president’s numbers.

Pics of him enjoying an expensive long vacation while many have a hard candy Christmas, won’t help ZERO.

Last year in Hawaii the press corp wasn’t given much access to the President...same with Martha’s Vinyard this summer. Paparazzi got those famed shirtless obama photos:

Then I guess it will be different this year, if this report is accurate.

“Where is the REPUBLICAN leadership outrage?”

The Republicans have no leadership. They have only gutless wonders. That might change if the Cuda and Michelle accede to leadership posts.
