Interesting how the mainstream press is beginning to turn on the president, not because of any policy concerns, but because he is dissing them.

If I had a meeting with 47 nations to discuss how to keep nukes out of the hands of terrorists, I would probably keep the press away as well. Wouldn't make much sense to to let the the Washington Post tell the bad guys everyones security procedures/plans/strategy,etc.
My point has nothing to do with the legitimacy or illegitimacy of keeping the press away. It has to do with the what it takes to get the Washington Post ticked off at Obama.
yea I know, but Dana Milbank has never had much use for Obama, so it's not unusual for him to complain. I don't think the post is as liberal anymore as you give it credit for.
Oh, Tom, you mean like the Pentagon papers, and how Clinton squired the Chinese generals around to show them our nuclear facilities? You mean THAT sensible policy? You mean like the sensible policy of telling our adversaries we won't use nuclear weapons against them? Wake up. Isn't it a strain trying to justify your comrade's idiotic reign of error?
Pentagon papers? Can you reach back any further? No Brian, I feel no strain with anything I might try to justify, although I am getting stressed a little on whether Obama really went to his kids soccer game or not the other day. As long as he is not part of the C street contingent, I won't stress to much.
I can assert with serene confidence that the sessions in question would have zero matter of substance on the table
There would be no sensitive discussions about security procedures/plans/strategy related to nuclear terrorism. None. The meetings would be full of empty posturing, hollow rhetoric and uninformed grandstanding.
There is, too, absolutely zero expectation of secrecy or confidentiality in sessions of this nature.
There is, in short, no legitimate reason to keep the media away from this meeting.
Good points, Bill. So why would Barry bar his own state-controlled, government-run media from his triumphal confab?
