Former White House photographer for President Barack Obama shades Donald Trump by comparing him to Barack

Pete Souza is obviously a man of many talents. Not only is he a photographer, he's also got a sense of humor. The former White House photographer during Obama's administration has been sharing photos of Barack taken while he was in the White House and using savage captions that compare the former president to the new one.

For the past few hours, Donald Trump has been in the news for refusing to continue the policy of releasing the White House Visitor logs to aid transparency, a policy that Obama Upheld for 8 years. This has fetched Trump a lot of criticisms these past few hours and Pete Souza weighed in on it by sharing a photo of former President Barack Obama.

His latest photo was captioned "Hmm. Bet he was noted in the visitor logs". 

This is no doubt a jab at Donald Trump and Pete's followers caught the sub for the new President and even made jokes about it in the comment section.

See some of their comments below...

White House Bomb Threat Suspect Was Testing Secret Service

The man arrested for claiming he had a bomb in his car at the White House Saturday night was apparently testing security ... this after several major lapses.
Sean Patrick Keoughan approached a police officer near a White House entry point and told him, "There's a bomb in the trunk." The 29-year-old went on to say "this a test!" and was immediately tackled and taken into custody.
The 2017 Chevy Impala Keoughan was driving had been reported stolen in Virginia. 
The Secret Service said it was amping up security after the incident. 

Secret Service Arrests Man Claiming to Have Car Bomb at White House

A man drove up to a White House checkpoint this weekend claiming to have a bomb in his car ... marking the 3rd time in a week someone has tried breaching the grounds.
The Secret Service arrested the latest would-be intruder late Saturday night. 
He was immediately taken into custody, and the White House was put on high alert. Surrounding streets were closed through the night. His vehicle was searched ... there is no confirmation if anything was found.
President Trump was not home at the time -- he's in Mar-a-Lago this weekend.
Earlier the same day, another man tried jumping over a bike rack in front of the White House. Last Saturday, a man actually jumped the White House fence and remained undetected for about 20 minutes ... getting right up to the building and even trying to jiggle doorknobs.
We broke the story ... last week's intruder had been turned away by Secret Service hours earlier. Yet, agents did not have eyes on him when he made his move.

White House Intruder Wearing Backpack Arrested by Trump`s Secret Service

According to TMZ...
A man wearing a backpack was arrested by the Secret Service after he breached the White House fence late Friday night ... while Donald Trump was inside the building. 
The man was discovered by a Secret Service agent just before midnight by the south entrance of the White House, and was promptly taken into custody.
No hazardous materials were found in his backpack, and a search on the grounds yielded no further signs of danger.
Trump, who was home at the time, was notified of the breach ... prompting the White House to be placed under extremely tight security. 
This marks the 1st time someone has tried breaking onto the White House grounds since Trump has taken office. Obama had a handful of security breaches himself

White House bans CNN ,BBC ,NYTimes from press briefing

The White House blocked most of the media from attending an off-camera briefing on Friday several hours after the president called some of them 'fake news.'
Press Secretary Sean Spicer canceled a planned, on-camera briefing and held a private briefing inside his office that was open to only certain reporters.

Among the outlets allowed in were Breitbart News, and Fox News.

The ones banned included, the BBC, the New York Times, Politico,Daily Mail and CNN - which hours earlier President Trump had called the Clinton News Network.

"This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House," CNN said in a statement. "Apparently this is how they retaliate when you report facts they don't like. We'll keep reporting regardless."
 New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet wrote,
 "Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties. We strongly protest the exclusion of The New York Times and the other news organizations. Free media access to a transparent government is obviously of crucial national interest."
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!' Trump tweeted last week.
