President Obama Signs START Treaty, Doesn't Allow Reporters in the Room
ABC News ^ | February 3, 2011 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 02/03/2011 7:42:01 AM PST by La Lydia

President Obama signed the START nuclear disarmament treaty with Russia this morning. Despite the great attention the president has devoted to this treaty -- and the vast coverage of the treaty negotiations by the media -- the White House refused to allow reporters or TV cameras in the room. Still photographers were the only representatives of the free press permitted to record the historic moment.

Those cameras captured President Obama signing the documents, seated at the Resolute Desk. Behind him stood Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., Dick Lugar, R-Ind., Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Thad Cochran, R-Miss., and Vice President Biden.

” What was Thad Cochran doing at this disgraceful event? “

Even more interesting - why were the Russians conspicuously absent??

One would think that they’d at least send the Ambassador to witness the signing of this “Vitally Important Treaty”, wouldn’t one??

Jake, when are you going to expose Obama? You know he is a Manchurian Candidate.

The SCM is too invested in Obama to care. They’ll throw their little hissy fits when Obama pees on them, but they’ll remain faithful and in love with him.

Tapper only reports this because he’s on the fringes of the Obama lovefest.

I’m glad we will not be subjected to watching an illegal alien sign another POS Treaty.

King Obama, with his sympathetic tours in the far east is doing everything to strengthen the Muslim power. He has weakened the America economy and will encourage everything he can to get riots started in America. He is a communists wanna be dictator and is a anti-American black Muslim.

Tapper is pretty much in a breathless bromance with Barry Soetaro. Jake WAS at the Linda Douglass hosted David Axelrod going away party. He is one of the uber insiders.

With a stroke of his pen, Obama became a traitor this morning, as if he wasn’t one already.
