Obama Muzzling Press Corps? Asks NY Times

NY Times :

Is President Obama trying to muzzle his press corps?

The standard form during "joint press availabilities" -- bureaucratic lingo for press conferences where leaders from two different countries stand next to each other and take questions from reporters -- is that each official's press corps gets the same number of questions.

Sometimes the posts on this blog are just plain stupid. We keep on going as if the world actually cares about our infighting between Republicans and Democrats, or Rush and whomever.

Our right and our left is so far right of the rest of the world that our discussions between the two parties are ridiculous.

Obama has to make some real change in this country or we will be relegated to the category of Bernie Madoff and the robber barons of the world.

How right you are the problem is that our so called leaders in the sneate and congress follow thier "values" thier core "beliefs" and that has lead usto the brink of disaster. we need to as a nation not only get back to our foudning fathers vision of this nation but to advance it for the future that is here.

Only 21% have passports.

[gobeavs]

I have a passport.
Reading this blog for the last few days is some of the funniest stuff I have ever read.
Oh but I wish to be as itelligent as the enlightened ones spreading their vast knowledge to the huddled masses.
This has been a hoot.

[Ohsherri]

Poor Repubs have nobody.

Except bum- Rush!

ROFLMAO!!!!!

[missmaizeybelle]

After reading the thread on hp - we need to find a way to get his contract cancelled with the military.

Have you gone to that thread! He has crossed the line one too many times.

[Ohsherri]

Sooo much jealousy here over Obama!!!
And I love it!

Flagged for insensitivity toward the sexindustry

[RiverHippieLives]

many of the Obamabots here (especially rampage) like to rage about how Gramm-Leach-Bliley belongs sto the Republicans only and some (rampage) like to li.e about the vote in the senate.

Well. . . Clinton still defends Gramm-Leach-Bliley: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/10/no_it_wasnt_phil_gramms_fault.html

[1MCMetal1]

Those cut and paste comments by Clinton are ridiculous , as is this , culled from the Wall Street Journal:

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act passed the Senate on a 90-8 vote, including 38 Democrats and such notable Obama supporters as Chuck Schumer, John Kerry, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Dick Durbin, Tom Daschle -- oh, and Joe Biden. Mr. Schumer was especially fulsome in his endorsement.


That isn't the vote on the Bill ; it was the vote on the language of the Bill after it already passed with only 1 DEM voting in favor of it ....................Talk about dishonest

Somebody call the whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance

[sweetjones]

helene cooper of the new york times is always trying to nit-pick the President of the United States.Its time that we OBAMA supporters let her know that we've had enuff with the petty B.S.let's flood her emails with our concerns.I think we can make her get the point and stick to the facts.

Chris Matthews and this Romano woman are perfect examples of totally and completely clueless white people.

[ToL1]

Flagged...race baiting.

[dct1999]

Flagged...overly sensitive

[1MCMetal1]

And Michelle Bernard isn't an empty-headed bim ?

Yeah , okay ................

[ToL1]

...spoken like a true empty-headed bim, chrome dome!

[dct1999]

W....T....H is your point?

When I created my post Michelle Bernard hadn't yet commented, but I do think she's one of the dull tools in the proverbial drawer.

[Ramirez]

Ethnic slur. What does their race have to do with anything?

[dct1999]

It has to do with how utterly stupid they look when they comment on Mrs. Obama. They are tone deaf, clueless white people.

[parrotkisser]

Matthews mentioned Francois Hardy. That's not being completely clueless.

[Yurdelite]

I thought they all captured the moment for the Obamas very well. One of the few times CM gets it.

[dct1999]

Good for you, I think they sound like cretins.

[Yurdelite]

Is this the same press corp that sat on their arses for 8 years cowering under the dictator Bush's rule?

[casey70]

Michelle O. is Fab!

[missmaizeybelle]

Yes she is. Chris Matthews just said the the First Couple were groovy! I like that too!

[kassandrasduplex]

Change we can beleive in...
Obama will lead us out of the financial "crisis" using the wolves to guard the henhouse?

Lead us out by letting union progress fail?
http://iowaindependent.com/13086/specters-about-face-could-doom-employee-free-choice-act
Lead us out by DEFENDING Bush cronies from lawsuits while Spain, Canada and Italy are trying to bring them to justice?

Alert to trolls. The NYT is now hiring. See above article.

[Ramirez]

N/A. They do background checks for Republican activity.

[1MCMetal1]

Yeah , because they're correct to be concerned that brainlessness may be contagious .....

[SeconLine]

Exactly. See Judith Miller.
