President Obama Pre-selected Reporters to Ask Questions at His Press Conference

February 12, 2009

Update: To read about the president pre-selecting reporters in his press conference held on 03/24 please see this article.

 Do you remember when President Bush was seen rehearsing a tele-conference that he was about to hold with United States troops stationed in Iraq? Do you remember the uproar? The story was all over the blogs and the television.

 Now comes this story about President Obama’s first prime time press conference and about how all of the reporters that were to ask his majesty questions were pre-screened and pre-selected before the press conference. Where is the outrage? Where is the uproar.

 President Obama actually had to stop at the beginning of his question and answer session of the press conference and ask where two reporters were. Why? Because these were the first two reporters who were supposed to ask him questions. Questions that I am sure he got in advance.

 The American Idol president is all too concerned about his image and about how he looks, public relations wise, rather than what he actually says or does. There is no desire on his part to actually take random questions from reporters because he is too afraid that he will say something that will make him look bad, or that he won’t know what to say at all.

 Everything that President Obama says and does is an act, it is scripted, and he is the actor in the starring role. But when his supporting actors, the media, don’t show up he is revealed. The emperor has no clothes.

 This of course is not being reported by the media at all. You would think the reporters that evidently are never going to be called upon by his majesty would want to make this story known but perhaps they are holding on to the notion that they will one day be selected to have the honor of asking the anointed one a question, after all it is because of them that Obama was elected in the first place. Eventually he has to return the favor, so they think. Or maybe they feel that if they report this story they will lose all hope of asking the president a question.

 Either way, the fact that this story isn’t newsworthy confirms what we have always known as the truth, that the media is in bed with Barry Obama.

    No, you won’t hear this in the msm. I wonder how this kind of non-coverage would play with a “fairness doctine” in place.

    When I watched the conference, I was amazed at how clumsily contrived the question and answer session was. Not only were the questions sophomoric, but the rambling answers went on and on and covered his normal talking points. The man is incapable of making a simple statement. You’re absolutely right, Mr. Pinkeyes, he knows he can’t think on his feet and that his mouth may be as dangerous as Biden’s.

    So much for all that vaunted transparency. The hope-and-change-iness is already wearing thin. Like Krauthammer, I’m surprised it came so soon.

    Mustang, his mouth may be as dangerous as Biden’s! Wow, that’s a scary thought, although it will make a fun four years.
    I too am surprised how quickly the hope and change lasted. I thought that is would take a while for people to catch on, but there is one part of Obama’s administration that is transparent. Obama himself. People are beginning to see right through him.

    And what monumental softball questions they were! “What do you think about A-Rod taking steroids?” P.O. probably doesn’t even know who he is! He soes not strike me as the pro sports fan type. At least W would answer whatever questions were thrown at him. This president is giving me a bad, creepy feeling.
