Team Obama Bans Press Cameras from White House Congressional Picnic
Breitbart ^ | 9/17/14 | Charlie Spiering

Ahead of President Obama’s annual picnic with members of Congress, the White House prohibited television cameras and photographer access to the event. Only allowing print pool reporters were allowed to cover Obama’s speech.

That annoyed White House reporters including ABC News reporter Jon Karl, who pointed out that it was a change from year’s past.

“In a break w/ past practice, the WH is prohibiting TV & photo coverage of today's Congressional picnic at the White House,” he noted on Twitter.

The most transparent regime ever is becoming more and more closed off to the press. Imagine if this was Bush’s administration closing them out like this.

I guess this isn’t one of those “transparent” picnics.

You get a bunch of congress critters that believe in the sanctity of sodomy and stuff like that I can see why they wouldn’t want pictures taken.

Besides, who wants to see a picture of Ol’ Joe skinny dipping?

This was probably a request of the attendees, who wants to have their picture taken with this guy now?

I think they're more like an intramural squad. Badminton, Frisbee,Three-Legged Sack Race; something like that.

Its all part of the big plan to get everyone in this country so ticked off that they will start uprising against dear leader. He will eventually have everyone fighting against everyone, civil disobedience will arise and then he can declare Marshal Law.

Odumbo is no fool or he is the dumbest SOB on earth, I keep trying to figure out which one.

I don't care a whit if no photos are allowed at this piddly picnic of political parasites.

Let the corrupt journalism and photography media get a taste of being screwed over by Obama like it screws us over all the time.

The Dog’s Party

The dogs they had a party
They came from near and far
And some dogs came by aeroplane
And some by motor car
They went into the lobby
And signed the visitors´ book
And each one hung his arsehole
Upon a separate hook
One dog was not invited
And this aroused his ire
He rushed into the meeting place
And loudly shouted, ´Fire!´
Now the dogs were so excited
They had no time to look
And each one took an arsehole
From off the nearest hook
It is a sad sad story
For it is very sore
To wear another´s arsehole
You´ve never worn before
And that is why when dogs meet
By land or sea or foam
Each sniffs the other´s arsehole
In hope it is its own
