Woe is the media! As Twitchy reported, President Obama was once again late to a presser this afternoon. Twitter users swiftly offered up some mockery, but journos weren’t so tickled.

Heh.
Perhaps Obama had another reason for leaving the lapdogs to bake in the sun?

Obama: "Take this media…I'll make you sit out in the sun waiting on me for at least 30 minutes…then maybe you'll jump back in my lap."

If Obama lets the press bake long enough in the sun heat stroke will make them forget their questions on Benghazi and the IRS #hoping

Obama was covered by human prop-aganda. But what about the media?

Obama says rain during Rose Garden should make reporters ask consider questions and him to give concise answers. #savedbytherain

And in a whine-mocking nutshell:
White House press corps first complains about heat in Rose Garden. Then rain. Wait til they get hit with frogs, boils and locusts.

Or another Jay Carney photo montage. Shudder.
