Obama Bans Photographers From White House
http://www.mrconservative.com ^ | november 2, 2013 | Martin Defrancesco

Rather than allow journalists to cover events as they happen at the White House, President Obama issues “propaganda” photos of himself to be used in all media stories, instead.

And the Associated Press is not happy about it.

According to American Overlook, Santiago Lyon, AP director of photography, said that no one has real access to President Obama. The only time photojournalists are allowed inside to cover an event is when “foreign dignitaries” are visiting Washington.

Since he first took office in 2009, President Obama has been anything but open in regards to photographers taking his picture. Since then, the AP has been in the Oval Office a grand total of twice. In place of media photojournalists, Obama is said to circulate photos of himself taken by paid photographers.

Obama promised transparency.

The only problem is that ‘transparency’ has two definitions.

One of them is, “You can’t see it”.

How much control is the MSM going to tolerate? The problem is they’ve been pounding the mantra that to criticize The One is racist. When will they have the moral courage to admit that he’s a flawed person and is not divine?

Proof that 95% of the MSM are morons.

Everyone above the level of a moron could clearly see this coming.

The bottom line is: What will the morons do about it?

First... we elected a communist to be President.

Second... was some 'secret' construction at the White House.

White House Tunnel System: West Wing Underground Command Bunker Project

Third... was shutting out the public from the White House.

Fourth... was shutting the press out of the White House (or at least taking away their cameras).

I wonder when they will announce the NEW WESTERN CALIPHATE and who will be the new Ruler ?

So called “journalists” are the lame lazy corrupt tools of the left.

“The Press” was given fundamental protected status in our Constitution. Today they have squandered and distorted their critical role as independent watchdogs of the powerful and the corrupt.

They are nothing more than lazy lapdogs of The Left.

I’ve always thought of him as very transparent, because we can see right through him. Not being able to see exactly what he is has to be willful.

And whorenalists of the compliant media have gone along with it for years, dutifully reporting that this is “the most transparent” administration that ever existed.

Man - the flag in that pic is all wrinkled - it obviously spent time crumpled up somewhere instead of hanging free for any amount of time. The first time the photo came out I just noticed the phone, but the condition of the flag is just another affirmation of who we are dealing with as we struggle for our Freedom.
