Rumor has it that a few White House reporters are a little pissed off by the fact that they were barred from several recent presidential fundraisers. Personally, I don’t know what that have to be so pissed off about, after all, if it weren’t many of the supposed ‘news’ organizations that most, if all of these ‘reporters’ belong to, Barry would have never been elected in the first place, let alone re-elected. Because they chose not to tell so much of what they knew to be true.
Remember now, these are the very same people who were so desperate, both in 2008 and 2012, in their efforts to make sure Barry would be elected that they made a very conscious decision to not do their job, choosing instead to lie to the American people. They did so by failing to report on the mountain of facts about this man that would have very clearly painted a picture of someone who was so completely undeserving of the office that he would come to be elected to.
But, be that as it may, the White House Correspondents' Association recently criticized their onetime hero, Barry "Almighty", for excluding reporters when he addressed a Senate Majority PAC fundraiser on Tuesday at the Seattle home of Jim Sinegal, the former Costco CEO. Attendees were made to contribute a minimum of $25,000. The fact that our even our extremely biased media was excluded from the event, should make one very curious about what was said.
And then on Wednesday, Barry was at the Four Seasons hotel in San Francisco meeting House Majority PAC donors, and once again frustrated reporters were kept outside and well out of range. The press was also barred from covering Barry's remarks to donors in New York last Thursday. Talk about naïve, what was it that these media-types were really expecting from this guy? Were they really expecting actual transparency from this guy?
And then earlier this week, coverage was even limited when Barry welcomed the Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins along with Carol Armstrong, widow of Neil Armstrong, to the Oval Office to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the moon landing. But it does kind of make you wonder, or at least it should, what it was that could have possibly been discussed that Barry might want to have kept from the press.
Christi Parsons, Los Angeles Times/Chicago Tribune White House correspondent, who recently took over as president of the association said in a recent interview, "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." No shit, ya think? And yet no one’s really doing any really serious complaining about what continues to take place.
She added that denying access to Barry was of "special concern as these events and the donors they attract become more influential in the political process." Well ya know, if that’s a genuine concern of hers then why are those in the state-controlled media not making a much bigger stink about. Most likely that would be because they still don’t really want to say anything that might attract the wrong kind of attention to their man.
Details about who Barry recently met, how much they donate and what Barry said to them have been kept secret. And that in itself should be setting off alarm bells all over the place. At a Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser Wednesday afternoon in Silicon Valley, reporters were ushered out just as Barry began taking questions from contributors. Which is more than a little disconcerting.
Responding to complaints we had White House deputy spokesmoron Eric Schultz, who said, "I would only ask that you judge us by our record and the record of our predecessors. Without a doubt, I think we've done more to achieve the president's commitment to transparency than any previous administration." That this ass can still make the claim that Barry is so transparent, and still not be significantly challenged on the issue, is simply ludicrous.
Fred Wertheimer of Democracy 21, which wants to "eliminate the undue influence of big money in American politics," said Barry "talked a big game when he was running for office in 2008 about fixing this system. And he hasn't done anything about it – and continues to stay silent at a time when the system is a disaster for the American people." But this group has a rather odd idea about how the system should be ‘fixed.’
Just little word about Democracy 21. While this is another one of those groups that like to describe itself as being a "nonpartisan" group, it really is anything but. It makes the claim that it seeks to "eliminate the undue influence of big money in American politics and to ensure the integrity and fairness of government decisions and elections." But the group does have an ulterior motive that’s not covered in their mission statement.
Because in practice, the organization has restricted citizen participation in the political process by limiting the ways in which constituents can give money to the party or candidate of their choice. Democracy 21 has also helped the network of George Soros-led Shadow Party groups gain immense influence within the Democratic Party. Yup, another group that can be traced back to that left wing nut, Soros.
But anyway, the bottom line here is that all of these folks who like to call themselves ‘reporters’ and who are now complaining about the lack of transparency, really have no one to blame but themselves. They’ve let this gang of thugs get away with so much shit and for so long, that now there’s simply no going back. They are the ones who created this monster, and they are really the only ones who now will be able to slay the monster. The question is, will they even make the attempt?
