Who knows what happened

The Nuclear Summit called by President Obama has come to a conclusion and no one who was not there actually knows what took place. Apparently, not much of moment transpired, but no one can tell for sure since the press was barred from the proceedings. This is actually quite funny since there were numerous heads of state present, each of whom came with media representatives from his or her country. These reporters may have had the chance to tour Washington, but they were not allowed to do their jobs -- cover the event. Obama is so insistent on controlling the message that he did not allow reporters at the event except for the first 8 minutes. Given that the event was largely symbolic, it is truly strange that the press was excluded. Maybe Obama did not want to have the world see him fail in getting the other world leaders endorse plans for sanctions against the Iranians. It cannot be that some secret plan was hatched at the meeting. There would be too many leaks to keep that quiet. The truth is that this is just another amateurish act by the Obama administration.
