It's supposed to be the "most transparent administration in history" yet the federal government is placing restrictions on the press so severe that you would think they were visiting the super secret Area 51 rather than the Ft.

The low information types don’t want to see tattooed gangbangers, murderers, drug pushers and thieves. They want to see “the churldren” wearing a nice clean Huggie with a Border Patrol logo on the butt.
Thanks for posting this. If a Republican president told the media they couldn’t bring recording device, they would be upset. But they love Obama. So much for the “most transparent administration in history.”
