The Media is Getting Frustrated With President Obama

 The media is growing more and more frustrated by the extremely image conscious president. Before President Obama was President Obama there were signs that Obama was tiring of the media and then yesterday Obama snapped at the media, but now the tables are turning on him.

 The media is now questioning Obama on his pledge of transparency and it all started because the president gave his only post-election interview with ABC, the network which just happened to donate $2 million to one of the inaugural balls. The media called this a pay to play scheme.

ABC, which paid millions to host the DC Neighborhood Ball, was granted the only inauguration day interview with President Obama – a move he equated to “pay to play.”

 The tension with the media intensified after they were not invited to cover President Obama’s redo of the oath of office.

It is ironic, the same day that the president is talking about transparency, we were not let in,” CNN’s Ed Henry said on the air Wednesday night after news of the second swearing-in broke

  How ironic is it that the media is solely responsible for getting Obama elected with their he-can-do-no-wrong-never-question-him attitude during the election and now that he is elected they are finding out something that many Americans already knew; when President Obama speaks he doesn’t say anything.

 The media that is now complaining about President Obama’s lack of information never once pressed him for information on any of his policies or plans. He spoke in platitudes and generalities for the last two years while he was campaigning yet the media threw rose pedals at his feet in front of him. They never questioned him.

 Now they are trying to get answers from him and there are none forthcoming and they are upset. It comes as no surprise to many of us that he would be so aloof, he was during the campaign. But the media never thought that he would do it to them and they are shocked.

 President Obama must also be shocked at the media’s sudden decision to be critical of him after two years of the flowery, glowing, he can do nothing wrong coverage they had given him.

 President Obama and the media deserve each other.
