SAN FRANCISCO — President Barack Obama went to the West Coast to meet donors from two top Democratic super PACs, but the press wasn’t invited. Tuesday, the reporters and photographers traveling with the president on Air Force One and in his motorcade were left on the gravel path not even within sight of former Costco CEO Jim Sinegal’s house in the Seattle suburbs where Obama sat for a Senate Majority PAC fundraiser with a $25,000 entrance fee.
Wednesday morning, when he met with big donors for the House Majority PAC at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown San Francisco, they weren’t even told what room or floor he was on.
“We think these fundraisers ought to be open to at least some scrutiny, because the president’s participation in them is fundamentally public in nature,” said Christi Parsons, the new president of the White House Correspondents’ Association. “Denying access to him in that setting undermines the public’s ability to independently monitor and see what its government is doing. It’s of special concern as these events and the donors they attract become more influential in the political process.”

What is Abused Wife Syndrome called? The MSM has it in their relationship with Obama.
They just feel lucky they didn’t get kidnapped by him again!
If the press wants an audience, it should apply to the politburo, ya know? See?
/s/
IMHO
Obama: You silly MSM press, don’t you know we will tell you everything that you need to print. No need for you to be in the room.
Does Bonnie Prince Barry actually think the press will ever say anything negative about him?
Guy’s gonna press his lock one too many times...
It should be illegal for a POTUS to spend his second term campaigning on tax payers dime. I mean $millions.
Covering an odumbo fund raiser is like pumping a cess pool, the same things just keep coming out.
When will the media figure out that odumbo uses them when/if needed for things such as photo ops, other non essential issues. Bunch of dumb asses.
Exactly, this way they won’t catch them off mic.
Barry O’Bully with another FU America moment.

What a crock. They will still kiss his butt.
Look to see more of this until Obama is out of office. His abuses will grow as his fundraisers expand. Let us hope he will be forced out soon.
I think he should have to punch (slap, in his case) a time ock logging 60 hours minimum each week, detail in reports his work and progress and work by MBO (management by objective) and yes, no effing funny business schilling for his party on taxpayer dimes(pennies after taxes).
They sign a presidential plan listing his specific objectives for a term, for each year and report his accomplishments, while explaining his failures in a lengthy report monthly, quarterly and each year.
His reports should detail his direct influence, actions and demonstrate his hand on the tiller.
Finally, all good executives must detail what their improvement objectives are over a previous year and outline a concrete plan to achieve his goals.
If he wants to fly Airforce 1, then he should be given some leeway, like most executives, based on his accomplishments.
All other use should come right out of his paycheck.
Who is paying for all this Democrat fund-raising?
I’m sure we are.
Among them, Costco's CEO.
By consequence, Costco members.
The Democrats charge other Democrats $25,000 a head to see Obama. Why, $25,000 would turn on the water at 100 Democrat voter houses in Detroit! I do believe that if fifty of these Democrat donors gave that $25,000 bribe, I mean donation, to the water department in Detroit, those 4,000 Democrat voter houses in Detroit could have their water turned back on. The Democrats are willing to spend $25,000 apiece to see Obama rather than help out the dry people of Detroit? That doesn’t seem very compassionate.
They don’t want another “bitter clingers” comment to the fundamentalist homofacists to get out again.
He’s got to raise liberal Left Coast money to win the Democrats’ seats in flyover country.
