You failed to tell us what happened next and the criticism/condemnation that followed Obama. See this...

Any hint of punitive press strategy seems just dumb. For one thing, it is counterproductive, spurring a spate of articles and commentary by the frozen ones, no fewer than five articles in Thursday morning’s Herald alone and more today. But it isn’t just that allegations of press discrimination prompts still more attention paid to the thin skin of the Administration. It conveys a sense that the Administration can’t stand up to criticism. Such instances are legion. Governor Deval Patrick
learned the hard way in his first term that you can’t let the media know they’re getting to you. You’re the person in power. You should be able to stand up to
the pressure and deftly respond. It doesn’t matter if a certain media outlet isn’t particularly fair to you.
A free press means that media of all stripes have the latitude to criticize you whether they’re right or wrong.
You gain credibility by going head to head with your critics. And no reporter should be pressured to pull his or her punches for fear of getting frozen out.

BTW Obama never did what Buhari did...
See Message From the White House
Our policy is clearly articulated in the on the record comment that the Herald received on tuesday: in this particular instance, theBoston Globe had arranged with the White House Correspondents Association, independent of the White House press office, to be part of the traveling press pool. As such, there was no need for an additional local pooler in Boston. As we have in the past
— including the multiple occasions on which the Herald has supplied local pool reporters
— we will continue to consider the Herald for local pool duty during future visits.

It was not that Boston Herald was barred, nevertheless obama came under criticism. Unlike Buhari that barred AIT for unfavorable reportage

The OP is mischievous with the Obama/Boston Herald Story. It wasn't close to Buhari/AIT saga. Even at that Obama came under Severe criticism that he never attempted such again.

I hope all you Buharophobes quit your day jobs (that's if you have one) and concentrate fully on attacking his every move coz it's gonna be a long a$$ 4 yrs for you all.

We in the majority (who voted him into power) will have our way, while your sorry, whiny asses in the minority can have your say. That is the true spirit of democracy. cheesy
