White House reporters were barred from a meeting between President Obama and donors for the Democratic House Majority PAC on Wednesday, Politico reported.
Members of the press traveled with the President to the West Coast on Tuesday where he was set to attend the Senate Majority PAC fundraiser. But upon arrival, the media were reportedly left behind and prohibited from getting near the event. On Wednesday, while Obama met with donors from the House Majority PAC, the reporters were not even told where the meeting was taking place.
“We think these fundraisers ought to be open to at least some scrutiny, because the president’s participation in them is fundamentally public in nature,” White House Correspondents’ Association president Christi Parsons said. “Denying access to him in that setting undermines the public’s ability to independently monitor and see what its government is doing.”

Come on now! He had several meetings with the muslim brotherhood , Al Sharpton and BLM many black organizations in secret . I expect nothing less while he attempts to overthrow the present government.
Why is he being referred to as President? Obama is not MY President!
Obama did this all the time. As a matter of fact back when he did this CNN was all over it and was critical and stood by the side of the banned even though they weren't the ones being banned.
Those complaining about Sean Spicer now are only showing how ignorant they really are and how low information they are.
That would be FORMER President Obama.
Great JOB Trump > You prove you are smart every day !!!
The article is from 2014 and just goes to show the tension between the press and the White House is an ongoing thing.
