White House is thin-skinned and controlling

[kokonut]

Reporters say the White House is thin-skinned, controlling, eager to go over their heads and stingy with even basic information. All White Houses try to control the message. But this White House has pledged to be more open than its predecessors, and reporters feel it doesn’t live up to that pledge in several key areas:

— Day-to-day interaction with Obama is almost nonexistent, and he talks to the press corps far less often than Bill Clinton or even George W. Bush did. Clinton took questions nearly every weekday, on average. Obama barely does it once a week.

*it's a scary pix of Obama wearing U.S.S.R. military uniform as a 4-stars General with many badges and stuff on his chest, wearing Russian fur hat, and he has a long scar running from his forehead thru left eye so he has a fake left eye. Background of him is the Kremlin buildings.
