Obama Turns His Back On the Press (Gives middle finger to media again)
The Caucus ^ | 5/`9/10 | PETER BAKER

Posted on 05/19/2010 1:26:28 PM PDT by teddyballgame

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.

Mr. Obama ignored him. Maybe he meant later in course of the week.

They put him in there and they’ll prop him up as long as they can. There is no way this regime will accept a media that dares to question him.

Obama is so far over his head that it is getting serious. We have got to get rid of this guy in 2012. Hopefully we at least will get a GOP controlled House in 2010.

They’re already starting to spin it as “Obama is too busy working to answer questions.”

Shrug. The press enables this. If they really cared that 0bama did this, it would be front page news every single day.

We are a long way away yet from leftists waking up to the realization that Obama doesn’t care what they think either.

After his condescending treatment, you'd think at least one of those mental midgets in the press would see an opportunity for a Pulitzer and start digging into his background.

The press is behaving like a battered wife. Which means there is going to be a violent altercation - there will be blood shed and an arrest, followed by charges being filed.

maybe not.

They’ll still love him.
They’ll still bow before his majesty.
They’ll still ingratiate themselves to him.
They’ll still say pretty things about him.
They’ll still defend his every action with their very careers............
