“Speaking on behalf of the White House Correspondents Association, I can say a broad cross section of our members from print, radio, online and TV have today expressed extreme frustration to me about having absolutely no access to the President of the United States this entire weekend,” [Fox News correspondent Ed]Henry said in a statement Sunday. “There is a very simple but important principle we will continue to fight for today and in the days ahead: transparency.”

According to the White House pool report, Obama returned to the White House at 8:10 p.m. on Marine One.

Well, I suppose a liberal would disagree with that, after all, doublespeak (unchecked by the media, of course) is what keeps them going. Besides, you know what happens to a liberal when you expose them to their own paradoxical thinking...
