For reporters covering President Obama, theres only one party in town that matters: The White House Holiday Party. Its a rare opportunity to walk around parts of the White House and meet the president and first lady. In the past, the highlight of the event has been the chance to get your picture taken with the president in the receiving line.

The only pic of the Klod that I look forward to is the one where he’s holding up his prison number.
But, I'm sure you can BUY a picture with the President.

No class - all crass.
(Hi Nachum!)
(Hi Dinah!)
If you want a picture, make one. I’m sure that’s why God created Photoshop.
Maybe the presstitutes will actually report in retribution for the snub....Nah!
What a bunch of whiners.
“I guess The Messiah figures since he owns the MSM he doesn’t actually have to be nice to them.”
*** Obama: “Some of you covered me, ALL of you voted for me.” ***
I’d say you’re spot on.
“But, I’m sure you can BUY a picture with the President.”
My sentiments exactly. I’m betting they are dispensing with the FREE PUBLIC line while retaining a PRIVATE greeting line restricted to big donors etc.
Exactly
It’s to bad our Congress was to chicken to make Hill and Bill guests of our prison system.
They are a bunch of whiners. Elitist whiners, the worst kind. Glad to see them whine, though.
This WH has a lot to learn. Don't bite the hand that feeds you......"For months, White House staffers have been inundated with calls from reporters asking directly and indirectly if they had scored an invite. And when some reporters found out that they werent invited, they called the White House to ask more pointedly if they could be included.
Ive been hearing from a lot of our members who havent been invited. Theyre very upset and confused because they feel they put the time in covering this job, and the Christmas party was something they looked forward to, said Julie Mason, a White House reporter for the Washington Examiner and a member of the White House Correspondents Association Board.
...Its unclear how the White House decided who would ultimately get invited to the media party, but some reporters who have received invites under former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton told POLITICO they didnt understand how they could be scratched off the list.
Did they not invite many regional reporters? That seems to go against their strategy, surmised one reporter for a national news organization, who had been invited to Bush White House holiday parties but was not invited to the Obama holiday party. Or did they only invite regional [reporters] in the states they need.
Under the Bush administration, invites went out before Thanksgiving, reporters said. Im wondering if they just dont have their act together on the social stuff, one print reporter said...
This years process seems so screwed up. Its one big horrible mess, said one veteran White House reporter. The White House knows who covers the beat and they also know who should be attending. A lot of people have their feelings hurt.
Now, the highlight is seeing if you can spot the single person in the room who left their Communist Party USA membership card at home.
Because the former President and First Lady weren't condescending, narcissistic a-holes?
Because the Clinton's had enough political savvy to know you don't mistreat your tools?
Because once a useful idiot is used up, all that's left is the idiot?

How many reasons does it take to get to the center of a media-bots brain, anyway? ;-)
Poor guys. And, I bet they didn’t know they have to eat on the back porch with the help.
