Journalists Route Around White House Press Office
Tailhook writes Pool reports written by White House correspondents are distributed to news organizations via the White House Press Office. Reporters have alleged that the Obama White House exploits its role as distributor to "demand changes in pool reports" and has used this power to "steer coverage in a more favorable direction." Now a group of 90 print journalists has begun privately distributing their work through Google Groups, independent of the Press Office. Their intent is to "create an independent pool-reporting system for print and online recipients."
I'm serious. You never know when you're going to have to deal with the fact that your IRS head is reaming the Tea Party a new one, or that you Attorney General just got done giving you a hummer and is asking what other parts of the Constitution you want him to piss on today. You can't just be 100% open about these things. You neck bearded basement dwellers have NO IDEA how the real world works.

If I were president, I'd have a Playstation 4 in the Oval Office. And blow jobs. And I'd stay up all night watching reruns of '70s cop shows and would eat nothing but pie.
Actually, that's kind of my life now, except for the blow jobs.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Sadly, I thought the Pres. was going to do this 5 years ago.
