Ed Chen, a White House correspondent for Bloomberg News who is president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, said he asked for the meeting “to clear the air because in my 10-plus years at the White House, rarely have I sensed such a level of anger, which is wide and deep, among members over White House practices and attitude toward the press.”
“He stayed overtime, and thus was late for his next meeting.”
No, he said he was late, you dupe! Most people learn about this suck-up trick during their first few weeks at the East Podunk Times Review and Shopper. Apparently Chen didn’t.
What, you mean the honeymoon is over already?
Obama made it up to them: He let them each take a turn being president of the Obama Fan Club. It’s a big responsibility.
Are they upset because they don’t get to fellate the Administration as much as they want?
“Being angry is not allowed. Give them each a unicorn and a signed picture of me, and all will be well.”

I wonder if that ‘level of anger’ from the WHPC toward the White House would anyway possible match the ‘level of anger’ Conservatives have for them ?
Overhead newbie Whitehouse correspondent question: “well then how do you conduct an OBAMA lap top interview if it does not entail the use of a computer?”
Where is the transparency? I thought the Obama presidency ushered in an age of openness and love.
I hope the press gets bitten on the @$$ for this.
Oh no!! A Newsy Party. Radicals and shite disturbers against the POTUS. They will have to mis-spell each others signs and interview the ‘fringe’ which also happens to be them. Can’t wait for the movie. Bloggers will crash the Party with difficult questions. The horror!
Hey speedy – better be mindful of those newsbaggers cause they’d never lead us astray!
Obama changes “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” to “Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t report, don’t photo”
retty representative of today’s press (and public?) I’d say.
More concerned about photo-ops with a sissy socialist than they are about getting to the bottom of things by curiosity and hard work.
“Ujjal Dosanjh, a former Liberal cabinet minister and onetime B.C. premier, says Sikh extremism is on the rise in some parts of the country, and blamed, in part, “politically correct” Canadians who let it happen in the name of diversity.

Uh-huh, it’s pc Canadians fault. I suppose that Section 13 of the Human Rights Act and pushing diversity at every level of government and public schools has nothing to do with it. As the law now stands, any Canadian who is not part of a protected group could be dragged through years of punishment at the hands of the HRC for any slight criticism of a protected group, especially in UJ’s home province of BC. A citizen questioning any part of the diversity agenda would be instantly accused of racism. It’s government that created and forced us to adopt this pc, multicult monster.
