WH Press frustrated over Limited Access to Obama with Tiger Woods

White House Press corps Feuding with White House for Limited Access to Obama, White House Responds.

obama_woodsWe wonder, if the White House Press Corps has access to Obama while he played golf with Tiger Woods, what would they ask, his golf scores.  If he ad improved his swing?  How it feels to be away from the FLOTUS and the Kids?

Maybe would would be as outraged if the WHPA actually asked questions about Benghazi, Fast and Furious,  Chuck Hagels confirmation.

Instead they wanted photos of serial adulterer Tiger Woods and Obama playing golf.

Below is the exchange between the White House Press and the White House over access to the most transparent President in history

Forwarding a statement from the White House Correspondents Association’s president Ed Henry, following today’s developments:

“Speaking on behalf of the White House Correspondents Association, I can say a broad cross section of our members from print, radio, online and TV have today expressed extreme frustration to me about having absolutely no access to the President of the United States this entire weekend. There is a very simple but important principle we will continue to fight for today and in the days ahead: transparency.”

The White House released its own statement, from Principal Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest:

“The press access granted by the White House today is entirely consistent with the press access offered for previous presidential golf outings. It’s also consistent with the press access promised to the White House Press Corps prior to arrival in Florida on Friday evening.”

Golf Digest appeared to have access
