The White House’s contempt for the news-gathering process extends to the most petty incidents. On Monday, Michelle Obama came to Milwaukee to campaign for Democrat Mary Burke, who is challenging Governor Scott Walker. To the astonishment of reporter Meg Kissinger of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, aides to Obama and Burke told her she could not talk to the crowd at a Burke event in Milwaukee.Read more here.
“Assigned to cover Michelle Obama’s speech today and was told by a Mary Burke aide and one for the White House that I could not speak to the people in the crowd,” she recounted on her Facebook page.
“To say that I was creeped out is an understatement. This is what reporters do in America: we speak to people. At least that’s how I’ve been doing things — at all kinds of political events — since 1979.”

Terrifying to read that the US is training Saudis to defend the Kurds. They will never leave their barracks to lend any aid. And if they do, they will indubitably join ISIS in the slaughter of Kurds, Christians and Jews. Why not just get on with it and send weapons straight to Hezbollah, Hamas and the Revolutionary Guard? They're closer to America AND the Kurds, so you save on jet fuel AND gas.
