Obama Barks Order, Journalists Obey

This sums up the relationship between Obama and his Praetorian Median, which put him in power and keeps him there:

Time reporter Zeke Miller was at a Teaism cafe near the White House Wednesday around noon when President Barack Obama came in for a surprise visit.

Miller started broadcasting Obama’s visit on Periscope with his smartphone.

A peeved Obama ordered Miller to stop filming–and Miller obeyed.

Obama was visiting Teaism with Teacher of the Year Shanna Peeples after a Rose Garden ceremony.

Miller was meeting at Teaism with a number of other White House reporters when Obama strolled in. Apparently not one of them had the courage to stand up to Obama for the right of their reporter Miller to film the president in public. And apparently none of them took the opportunity to ask Obama any questions.

Rather than object to being bossed around like children, Margaret Talev of Bloomberg called their master a “good sport.”

Then the Regime posted its own video version of the Teasism event on Fakebook. Needless to say it does not include Obama ordering his servants to stop filming him.

If you are wondering why Obama is still in power although Nixon was forced out for far less than Solyndra alone, ask yourself how journalists would have responded to Tricky Dick telling them to put their cameras away.

Even trivial spectacles must be carefully managed.
