Two days into his presidency and the honeymoon appears to be winding down for President Obama, at least from the perspective of the establishment media as represented by the White House Press Corps.

As one of his first acts as president, Mr. Obama announced that his administration would be marked by a new transparancy. He then barred television cameras and news photographers from his second swearing in and refused to answer a reporters question about his Deputy Defense Secretary nominee’s ties to lobbyists.

Traditionally news photographers have been admitted to the Oval Office to capture candid moments of the new president on his first day. Obama barred the photographers, instead distributing official White House photos of his first few hours in the Oval Office, characterized by the White House Press Corps as “photo press releases.”

As reported by Politico.com, the New York Times is not amused that then President-elect Obama denied them the traditional free-wheeling interview it had always conducted with the incoming president.

Now that the election is over, it seems Mr. Obama has forgotten that it was his friends in the main stream media who worked tirelessly to get him elected in the first place. Remember Chris Matthews’ “thrill up my leg” after one of Obama’s campaign speeches? Politico reports,

“…getting one’s message across through establishment media isn’t the only option for the new administration. The Obama campaign proved that one could skirt around the mainstream media at times, whether by blasting out text messages to millions of supporters (the Biden pick), or leaking to select news outlets and blogs as a means of getting out the day’s talking points out.”

Watch for the hand that Obama is biting to bite back with a vengence. Obama may have quickly forgotten the media that elected him, but the main stream media’s memory isn’t that short.
