Let's situation.
Beside himself as -- all of his colleagues that -- lack of access.
-- -- Well I'll tell you -- this story stands out not that the president is on vacation again for sale that the press did pound President Bush every time you went on vacation.
But the idea that this White House when they first came and claimed to be the most transparent and would have the most transparent administration in US history.
We see everything from fast and furious to -- -- -- even these golf trips there is no transparency.
-- and this is that to me this is strange.
The white house press corps which is basically performed rather.
Gently I think toward the we're the president.
Wanting more access when he's playing golf I I'm just not sure what the pictures were -- the -- the reports were going to be.
About a three day golf holiday with Tiger Woods.
I mean you put -- look I think Ed Henry deserves credit for raising this issue for pushing it.
I guess I would have chosen a different a different topic -- different time needed -- -- Monica it's.
Far more important that we get the seventy emails that were exchanged between the intelligence agencies.

The president is engaging in the league game in league game never happens my accent leaks occurred to test -- particular pieces of information or to damage your -- more often than not and he's winning that battle very well is playing a much better than the Republicans are.
And this is -- booking theater.
The president does not want a bipartisan immigration deal certainly not be -- -- or 2014 this is all about.
Getting as much leverage against the reason I think he really wants to have bought -- he gets Warrick traction fighting the Republicans on gun control on immigration on the whole range of issues than striking a deal Lou this is all about -- the house -- -- -- -- on this program many times its Altima.
-- you've -- the last were here.
That's certainly the most obvious explanation you've already seen president -- this debate at a time when it's not helpful for the president attention this debate if he wants something to come out -- the other end of it.
That's the most obvious explanation cynical as it may be.
All summer or not -- we appreciate the critical judgment and -- you all bring appreciate it thank you very much wanted to Stephen thank thank you very much thankfully.
