Bitch. bitch, bitch

Now this is making up controversy.

I guess since Obama has become somewhat Teflon in the media it makes sense that the "liberal" CNN should begin again taking its cues from Fox and Drudge with this inane and ridiculous story.

Yes he just made a sweeping statement about governmental transparency and yes it was genuine. So why shut the visual media out of a second swearing in ceremony? Well you know the first one went so damn well in front of God and everybody, has anyone simply come to the conclusion that both he and Roberts may have been, well....nervous? What could possibly be worse than flubbing the lines to the Oath of Office than doing so a second time? After all, neither of them had done this before, and to fuck it up so terribly (personally I thought it was rather funny, the nation really does have a sense of humor you know, as well as a sense of what is important and not).

I would hardly pose that the re-swearing in was a case of national security, nor would I put forward the notion that keeping the cameras out was any great reversal of that notion of transparency. What I would pose is that the networks suck it up and move on, it isn't a story anymore than it was when you weren't invited to it.

Quit bitching and go find some real news.
