Obama Snubs Press Again: Takes One Question From a US News Outlet During Today’s “Press Conference”…
The kicker: The reporter was from the Spanish-language channel, Univision…
Trackback | RSS 2.0 | Weasel Zippers(NY Times)- At a ceremony to sign a bill promoting press freedom around the world on Monday, President Obama refused to take questions from reporters. “I’m not doing a press conference today,” he told Chip Reid of CBS News, “but we’ll be seeing you guys during the course of the week.”
So when the president hosted a “news conference” in the Rose Garden with the president of Mexico on Wednesday, Mr. Reid thought maybe this time Mr. Obama would take questions. Instead, Mr. Obama allowed only a single question from the American news media, calling on a reporter from Univision, making it unlikely that he would be asked about Tuesday’s anti-incumbent election results.
Sure enough, Mr. Obama was asked about the Arizona law aimed at stopping illegal immigrants, a law he had already denounced in his opening remarks and was happy to denounce again in response to the question. He did not have to offer his thoughts on the loss of an ally, Senator Arlen Specter, in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary, or on any other topic.
As the event ended and Mr. Obama swiveled to head back into the Oval Office, Mr. Reid tried again and shouted out a question about the elections.
They should all just say fuck it and stay home..why bother going to the WH? Run around town and dig up shit on him andrun that.
Wow, this from the NY Times? Do I detect more than just a whiff of irritation at the blatant and ridiculous hypocrisy of The One’s administration?
You’re right, Jack. I for one would like to know why Obama was issued a social security number from Connecticut even though he’s never lived there. Why 2 social security numbers? Where’s the grades and why is he paying attorneys to hide them? How did he pay for Harvard? How was he able to travel in Pakistan at a time Americans were not allowed access? Where’s the birth certificate? Who did he donate his Nobel Peace prize money to? And that’s just the “fluff”, not the serious stuff.
even those who appeased Hitler figured it out and shut up. the press though lap dogs still needs to do some news however lame because they have so few readers and viewers now soon they will all be out of a job and now its abot THEIR phoney baloney jobs.
Newsflash: The NYT has people of varying opinions working for them.
Also to be fair, George W didn’t care to talk to the press much either. Can you blame them? I agree, though, Presidents need to take the time communicate with the public better overall. We need to hear things from the horse’s mouth.
If there had been a reporter in a burka,he would have taken one more question
make me some tea,
Hear it straight from the horses mouth……with Obama it’s from the horses ass and telepromter.
Main stream reporters still grovel to him and worship him. Bunch of damn lap dogs; kick em around and they come back for more.
Any main stream media journalists read this website? Naw! They’re too busy sucking up to their “messiah,’ and believing all his lies.
Damn commies!
Obama believes he answers to no one. So why have a press conference?
He gives, we take it.
D-Day.
Hey REAL Bob,
That may be – I read somewhere that obamadinejad answers to George Soros – his boss. And, he still answers to Saul Alinsky, even though Alinsky’s dead.
damn commies!
