Here is an excerpt of a report by Dylan Byers at Politico:

The White House press corps is expressing frustration over its lack of access this weekend to President Obama, who was on a golfing vacation in Florida.

Ed Henry, the Fox News correspondent and president of the White House Correspondents Association, released a statement Sunday evening in which he said the press corps had been given no access to the president, who was joined on his outing by star golfer Tiger Woods, and that the WHCA would fight for greater transparency in the days ahead.


So, reporters are complaining because they cannot observe everything that the POTUS does while on a vacation.



Seriously, what the POTUS does during his leisure time is usually of no national importance, and the First Amendment does not entitle reporters to be with the POTUS during his leisure time.

It doesn't matter what his politics are like. President Obama is a human being, and even he deserves to have some privacy when he is doing something that does not pertain to his job. The same is true for everyone who is POTUS.
