Some of the reaction to the White House press corps? complaint about access to President Obama was rather dismissive ? partially because he was on vacation, so a little down time seemed okay. But White House Correspondents Association president Ed Henry reiterated the earlier argument, noting it?s not just about this instance.
?This is a fight for more access, period,? Henry told POLITICO. ?I?ve heard all kinds of critics saying the White House press corps is whining about a golf game and violating the president?s privacy. Nothing could be further from the truth.?
He added:
?We?re not interested in violating the president?s privacy. He?s entitled to vacations like everyone else. All we?re asking for is a brief exception, quick access, a quick photo-op on the 18th green,? Henry continued. ?It?s not about golf ? it?s about transparency and access in a broader sense.?
The previous statement cited ?extreme frustration? with ?having absolutely no access to the President of the United States this entire weekend.? It?s a fight for transparency, they noted.
