Most transparent White House ever... - Ben Smith: Most transparent White House ever...April 20, 2010 Categories:White House.Most transparent White House ever... Police chased reporters away from the White House and closed Lafayette Park today in response to a gay rights protest in which several service members in full uniform handcuffed themselves to the White House gate to protest "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
People who have covered the White House for years tell me that's an extremely unusual thing to do in an area that regularly features protests.
A reporter can be seen in the YouTube video above calling the move "outrageous" and "ridiculous."
Obama obviously afraid to let public see that one of his core support groups, the gays, are angry with him.
There is going to be a major break between WH and media soon.
Watch FR for a couple of days. There will be a story about Obama officials threatening reporter's spouse. Spouse is career federal employee. Job was threatened.
Hmmm... sounds like you have the inside skinny or read it here. Either way, it is the Chicago way on steriods, I can’t see the press breaking on this one. Just like Corp America kissing his @$$ they are scared of him.
The White House supporters used DC police to chase the media away from a protest in a DC park?
I would have liked to get a look at these “military members in full uniform”. The American public deserves to see “ask and tell” in all its glory, in military uniform.
There is no video there that I can see on this subject. Just a very brief article.
The MSM reporters have been absolutely delusional about Obama. He hates all reporters and treats them with contempt. He did so even before being elected, and has certainly done so ever since.
How many press conferences has he held? One?
How many dinners or cocktail parties has he invited the press to? One? (That was the Indian state dinner, and since there was a scandal over the gate crashers, it’s doubtful he’ll ever invite them to another.)
How many are invited to play golf with him? He closes down the military course, and won’t allow the officers to play any time he’s near.
I understand that they are all delusional leftists, but how long can they put up with his treating them like dirt?

I hope so, but I don't believe it. Nothing is more important to the MSM than King Obama. Nothing.
Hey MB I saw that press confrence in LA he got boo BIG TIME BIG TIME
Breitbart has a video. Here are some of the people involved:

Tell me he is not stoned out of his mind in that picture, and in love to boot.
As I recall from my time in service, to participate in a political demonstration, especially one involving civil disobedience, while in uniform, was a Court Martial Offence.

The video link is on Drudge right now.
Obama’s ego is such he’s probably going to change his mind on DADT and tell the gays to piss off. Besides, with the millions of illegals he’s going to give amnesty, he won’t need 1% of the population anymore.
chrissie tingles, what do you say about this action.
Calling for uniformed military troops to act in protest against their government, as is being done by D-lister Kathy Griffin, used to be called “SEDITION”
“Captain Pietrangelo” (name tag visible) and apparently his lover Lt Choi were two of the uniformed people involved today- source indicates Pietrangelo was discharged in 2004
Ther was also a very overweight black woman in uniform (overweight also used to be against regulation)
Funny how gay marriage people are not chaining themselves to fences and harassing Barry... Isn’t it?
Which leads one to suspect this is all being staged to force the DoD’s hand, in the midst of a war
Poor gay guys are being kept in the closet by a closet Marxist whose entire past is locked away in a closet.
Maybe they should demand his Long Form Birth Certificate.
Being a straight man or playing the role of one is a juicy target these days and the gays should out him as inelligible to be in the White House.
Goose, Meet Gander.
I don’t know why they just don’t leave these jerks handcuffed to the fence and ignore them. I wonder how long they’d stay there if no one watched.
LOL!
LOL!
