so we're not recognized as members of the press corps, okay? then we'll not be subject to any of the constraints that the press corps is. so while the core press corps at the supreme court, the court makes a set of public information office available to them as many institutions do where you can have a person or two people there. well, we're not recognized as part of the press corps, so we'll have seven people running on five different internet connections in another two unidentified places in the building.

. >> relationship these days white house press corps? >> well, as you could tell by the nature of the questions today, that things are getting a little bit tense. i thought one -- actually the most interesting thing about this press conference was not what president obama said, but the questions the press conference asked. right out of the gate. the first question came from the associated press and the question was: do you consider this the worst year of your presidency? i mean, what does that tell you when reporters are asking that straight out of the gate? most of the questions there were lots of follow-up where the reporters are really seeking clarification or trying to corner him on things. obviously there has been a lot of animosity over the picture-taking, the press corps not being able to shoot as freely as in past administrations. i would say right now things have deteriorated between the press and the white house. >> do you agree with susan in terms of the relations between the white house press corps and the president. >> it's

the press corps not happy with the lack of access in general to the president. but specifically, this week surrounding the mandela memorial event in south africa. showing how sophisticated the white house's video operation is, this is a weekly video it puts out called west wing week. it featured the president in south africa this week, while the rest of the press corps was kept at bay. listen to the exchange between our chief white house correspondent ed henry and press secretary jay carney over the lack of access. >> at the mandela memorial service, you were asked earlier about the possibility that it was a terrible incident with the interpreter security issue. the white house photographer was up there. and individual photographers from news organizations that you just hailed were not allowed on that same platform. >> there were photographers there. if you ask the photographers on the trip, we made -- our staff went to great lengths to get as much access for all of our traveling press as we could. in fact, got exceptionally more access for our traveling press t

he was in the first peace corps group domg this country. his name is jairch in a small village, he wrote a -- jason for in a small village. he wrote a book, power line, a power line went over the village where he was, which was a black village and it delivered electricity to a white city that was down the line. and he described the situation after nelson mandela was no longer president. that was still almost total ly separate or different between average black person who lived in south africa and the white people who lived in the villages. so i would say that there's been some slow progress made. there's been some very wealthy black people in south africa as you know, some of them. but the country has not realized the balance in be economic progress and educational progress and social progress that nelson mandela envisioned. >> we are in sandton a suburb of johannesburg. probably the wealthiest, more millionaires than in anywhere in south africa, we are in a hotel and probably a mile away from leavmentd alexander township. hihidden from vie
