A reporter for a small newspaper was forcibly removed from a press area near Air Force One shortly before President Barack Obama arrived at Los Angeles International Airport to depart California early Thursday.
Airport security officers carried the woman away by the feet and arms as she protested her removal.
She later identified herself as Brenda Lee, a writer for the Georgia Informer in Macon and said she has White House press credentials. The newspaper's Web site says it is a monthly publication, and a Brenda Lee column is posted on it.

Waterboard her till she tells us who she really is.
Can you say drama queen?
Good for her.
No wonder Barry wouldn’t see her.
I’m sorry. So sorry.
Brenda Lee was coming on strong...
Well, if nothing else the next 3 and 1/2 years will not be boring.
Right lady. As if we can't see all the underwear we want on the internet. Nooooooooooooo we wanna peek up yours.
He's busy in Hollywood gathering cash from his rich white friends to oppose all your Christian values and morals.
They certainly won't be.Two nations...both armed with nukes...that are ruled by filthy psychopaths who don't have the *slightest* fear of Hussein will make for some *very* interesting adventures.
Hmmm...interesting.That explains a lot.I think that she should be thankful that she wasn't shot.Ten times.
OMG it’s Aunt Ester from Sanford and Son. “Let me go...youuuuuuu heathens!
Why is everyone around Zero black or minority?
I'm sorry this lady was man-handled.
She had hope that 0bama was a change from previously guarded P(s)OTUS and that she could petition him directly, as is her constitutional right.
But she was disabused of that notion.
Openness and transparency .... you are getting exactly what was promised
Wait! Wait! I don't have to WORRY about paying my mortgage! I don't have to WORRY about puttin gas in the car!
Pleeeeze! Just one picture of The One!
Holy cripes!! Check out the noose! Questioning BamBam is now a hanging offense?!?!?
Seriously. Imagine if this same photo, for the same reason, had been snapped while W was president. G'head. Imagine the outrage!
Next to him was Carol Simpson.
She was so giddy I thought she was going to wet herself. She was also bragging to every single other reporter within earshot that she was going interview "THE President" - Bill Clinton. Yes, she said it like that. "THE President."
No lie.
Portions of her released interview are here:
I remembered her because during the Presidential interview between then President Bush and Gov Clinton, she mocked Bush, and asked him to comment on a question with something like: "Who would like to comment first? The EDUCATION President?"
Clinton must have flown her on AF One as payback for her submission on her knees and such biased "reporting."
But, what made my day was when she tried to waltz right onto the tarmac and up the stairs into AF 1.
I was in my flight suit with a line badge around my neck, and there was no way I would ever try anything like that.
The Secret Service and the folks at Andrews stopped her flat. I thought she was going to smack someone. I thought, "Here comes the name dropping." Sure enough. "I am HERE to interview THE President!!"
