Today, before President Obama departed from California, a woman with white house press credentials was forcibly removed from the staging area. A reporter for a small Georgia newspaper was on hand for the presidents departure and wanted to give him a letter. This is what it was about....


Lee said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that she wanted to hand Obama a letter urging him "to take a stand for traditional marriage." She said she asked a Secret Service agent to give the president her letter, but he refused and referred her to a White House staffer. Lee said she refused to give the staffer the letter.

Now, in a time of change, a time of transparency and in a time of " I want to talk to the common man", why are we seeing this. I find this to be very hypocritical especially with the current administrations wanting to blame all of the countries problems on others however they are acting worse than those they chose to blame.

Why was she removed? Could she not have been asked to stand somewhere else? Now, granted, she could have given the letter to the staffer, but why not use this as a photo op? Even though I did not vote for the current adminstration, I at least hoped that we would not lose any more of our natural born freedom but it looks like it is eroding faster than the weeks after 9/11.

What is your take on the handling of this reporter?

You see, what we are seeing is not the same but worse. This is not the first time that reporters have been blocked or removed. we are only 4 months in....where is the transparency?

I want it both ways. You see, as a central/right thinker, I have been bombarded for 8 years with how bad it was and how we were on the road to the NWO. No, we were preventing it. Our current president is as close to the Manchurian Candidate as you can get.

Hamster Farmer...

I do not think she should have been able to hand an envelope to the president, but could they not have just moved her back a bit? My first thought also was powder or something else but it was the removal that got me. Guess this administration as a whole is really starting to grind on me. Transparency is not here.

I also would think...hope...that the USSS would have known exactly who she was also.
