So, Ron Fournier is attacking WH photographer Pete Souza...

He's whining that other media photographers don't get to take photos and that Pete Souza only takes photos that show the President in good light.

Souza had to even come out on twitter and thank people for supporting him:

Thanks to all those coming to my defense....for doing my job.

With how the media has treated Obama, why should anyone expect them to show Obama in any positive light in their photos? I'm sure they'd look for the most unflattering photos possible - which the media is good at doing when it comes to Democrats.

If anyone has a complaint about their access to the President the should not blame MR. Souza. I know his work is placed in the halls of the WH weekly.
