Straight out of the Stalinist playbook:

The White House defended its policy, arguing it is not logistically feasible to give photographers access to every event. The deputy spokesman, Josh Earnest, said, “We’ve taken advantage of new technology to give the American public even greater access to behind-the-scenes footage or photographs of the president doing his job.”

“I understand why that is a source of some consternation to the people in this room,” Mr. Earnest said during the daily White House briefing. “But to the American public, that is a clear win.”

Obama Lie of the Day

Why is it that every time this administration talks about
a “win” for the American people, my butt hurts?

Obama’s handlers are afraid the photogs will catch him at “awkward” moments .... too high or too low, thus every pic is staged.

Watching House Oversight hearings and seeing oodles of photographers gather around this or that subject makes me want to puke. We don’t need 50 dumbass photographers to get a picture of someone testifying. Good grief. 3 good photographers ought to be enough for any event taking place in D.C. These news people have big egos, though, so they are all in to get the best shots while swimming in each others fetid slobber over Zero.

Photos like this burned his temper.

THAT and he doesn't want other people owning photos of his presidency at key functions that he does not own copyright to.

Bands are doing the same thing now, limiting who can take photos (generally a hired staffer instead of a freelance or syndicated photographer) to limit who can sell them for the next quarter century.

This is our house and we should be able to see what goes on in there..Of course the commies do not want us to see all the crap they have going on we might have a reason to impeach the dictator Obama..

THEIR ARE COMMIES AND MUSLIMS AS WE KNOW IN THERE AND PLANNING HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT ALL..

Knock down those walls or open those doors so we can see our house and what damage these disgusting roaches have done to it..probably like in Clinton days it smells like drugs and sex all through the house..

my oh my, the WHCA needs to send its members to journalist retraining camps in in China, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, or Venezuela so they can be reminded of how to be loyal to their president

Speaking of photographs, a fried of ours was able to get into a White House tour last year, and was commenting on how the walls up and down the corridors are lined with pictures of Obama. He said it was really, really creepy.

Too many candid shots of pouty face are appearing on the internet. Henceforth only positive, confident visages of dear leader are permitted.

Here’s an idea. Stop printing anything about him. The WH will be like the stars of Hollywood. They’ve got to stay in the press less they be forgotten.

“arguing it is not logistically feasible to give photographers access to every event.”

It was always feasible before. This new technique ensures that there will no “flexibility” remarks caught on open microphones. It’s all in house no. Obama is a Nazi, pure and simple.
