What is with these special "background" meetings that Presidents hold for the media?

Seems like it's a bunch of sneakin', spin plannin' bullshit, if you ask me.

Why can't things just be out in the open?

Why does the media deserve more access to sensitive information than the general public?

The only explanation is that it's a strategy session with the media (the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party) so that they can help manipulate the People into swallowing horrible foreign policy, by making optimum use of the 0bama administration's lies and propaganda.

"Background" my ass.

Parenthetically, the Democratic Party is the Party of Perjury and Obstruction of Justice...
