  • Marc Ambinder: “I’ll admit. The Obama press office frustrates me.”

  • “Staff Finds White House in the Technological Dark Ages”

  • Pool reports not public after all?

  • @RobertBluey: “CNN’s Ed Henry reports White House aides refused to let TV cameras tape Obama’s do-over oath. So much for transparency.”
