Press airs grievances to Gibbs By: Mike Allen April 17, 2010 12:06 PM EDT
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs met with a delegation from the White House press corps for 75 minutes on Thursday in an effort to improve frayed relations between the two sides.
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.”
Chen said he feels “very good about the collegial give and take.”
“We had a very good exchange with Robert,” Chen said. “He stayed overtime, and thus was late for his next meeting.”
Gibbs said the meeting in his West Wing office was “comprehensive and productive.”
“I started by thanking the WHCA on behalf of the president and first lady for protecting the privacy of the Obama children,” Gibbs said. “We discussed and made progress n a number of issues important to both.”
Chen recalled that the two sides agreed on “no immediate global solutions,” but said he came away expecting an “improvement in press access.”
Among the issues discussed:

WHERE IS THE WHITE HOUSE DOG AND THE CHUBBY LITTLE GIRLS WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE HIM? (And had michelle the arm forced her children to get skinny yet?)
“I started by thanking the WHCA on behalf of the president and first lady for protecting the privacy of the Obama children,” Gibbs said.”
And Sarah Palin’s children, Mr. Gibbs? What about them?
Rur roh. If BHO loses control over the media, they could start leaking actual facts all over the place.
“CHUBBY LITTLE GIRLS” with RUSSIAN NAMES!! Imagine That!
Surprize! Surprize! Surprize!
NOT discussed??? NO PRESS CONFERENCES SINCE JULY !!!???? Wasn’t his last the one where he stepped in it over Gates and the Cambridge police? Is he like the stupid child that the teacher knows won’t be able to answer the questions, so don’t bother to ask him?
They are not mad at what odumbo does but that they are not given more time with this buffoon
The soccer game that never was brought this on, per the story-
The immediately precipitating event for the meeting was an April 10 incident in which President Barack Obama left the White House complex to attend one of daughter’s soccer games at 9:20 a.m., without being accompanied by the usual traveling press pool, which had been told to show up by 11:30 a.m. About fifteen minutes after his departure, press officials scrambled to assemble a partial pool that departed at 9:43 a.m. But the pool did not catch up, and the president got back to the White House 10 minutes before the reporters.
“We figured by carrying the Democrats’ water all these years, we’d be part of the ruling elite when you take over. We’re a little worried now that we’ll actually be cast into the gulags with the rest of the plebes.”
Bound to be 'hurt' feelings/sigh/. . .
That is exactly what it sounded like! Complete with pathetic whines, followed by squeals of delight.
Truly, the parallels are so striking as to be funny/almost. . .
So a group of lying, America hating leftists who spend all of their time distorting, misrepresenting, ignoring facts, rewriting history and covering up for Hussein are MAD because Hussein is acting like a typical lying, arrogant, self-important, self absorbed, unappreciative, cynical leftist. In other words, he’s acting just like THEY do only MORE SO!! OK. Now I get it.
Maybe one day, we’ll find out who it was so important for Obama to meet without the American People finding out about it....
White house press with still cover for him 24 hours a day and throw soft balls at his press secretary..
Nope, Leftism rules their lives, they will always serve their leftist master above all. Just look how many Jews voted for anti-semite Obama.
good one and witty
All good questions....very good questions.
Shut up and enjoy your irrelevancy.
Pray for America
Treated like fools and garbage and still the MSM is up obammy’s rear end.
