Obama, like all good Democrats, complained about secrecy and access in the Bush administration. You would think he would have the descency to follow through on his promises and not follow suit. Well, we were wrong. Same old hippocracy. I am ashamed of the new Democratic, Pary of the People, if they are going to act like this. If you make a campaign promise, follow through. Don't be a hippicrate.

News access issues concern those covering Obama
Jan 23, 6:51 AM (ET) By DAVID BAUDER
NEW YORK (AP) - News organizations that cover the White House sparred with the Obama administration on Thursday over access issues for photographers and rules for briefings.
Representatives from Obama's press office held a conference call with photo editors, who are concerned that the administration prefers distributing photos taken by a White House photographer in cases where photojournalists have been permitted access in the past. It was unclear whether the two sides had reached any accommodation.
The Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse refused to distribute photos taken by the White House of the new president on his first day in the Oval Office because of the dispute. Still photographers were also not given access to Obama's do-over oath of office administered Wednesday night by Chief Justice John Roberts and an economics meeting on Thursday.
