Unbelievable: Obama gets no questions at presser on ObamaCare rollout or shutdown theater

I’m tempted to call it a clown show but that would be insulting to clowns:

You know who asked some tough questions about Obamacare? Comedy Central.

3:21 PM - 8 Oct 2013

It ran for one hour and six minutes, with 12 different reporters being called on — although, notably, not Ed Henry of Fox News — and between them they couldn’t muster one question about the catastrophe that is Healthcare.gov or the spectacle of National Park Rangers locking senior-citizen tourists out of war memorials and/or inside their hotels. I admit that, near the end of it, when Twitter was already starting to buzz about the oh-fer on this week’s two unhappy topics, I started rooting for the press corps to ignore them, not unlike how you might root for an opposing pitcher when he’s throwing a perfect game against your team in the ninth. On the one hand, it’s a disaster for your interests; on the other hand, you’re seeing something historic in process. Today, we all witnessed a perfecto — no runs, no hits, not the barest insinuation in front of a national television audience that the federal government’s behavior towards the public this week has alternated between almost literally unbelievable incompetence and vindictiveness.

Fascism on the march....

Almost everyone in that room realizes that if they ask the wrong question, it means the END of their careers.

Never before have we been in such a situation as this. Can you just IMAGINE the bitter vile those same media people would be throwing at BUSH, had he said the exact same things in 2006?

All the questioners were pre-selected. I believe Obama told them they should blame Jay for that

Not surprising that the MSM has his back. They start asking hard questions and Obozo will totally flip his wig.

At one point some reporter said something and the bammy’s response was “talk to Jay”. It was all a setup with soft prewritten questions and pre-picked so called journos.

Knoller was the only one that even dared o ask anything resembling a tough question, about the 10 house bills passed to fund various elements of the government.

And the first question asked of Boehner is about the military families.

So, say whatever protocol(s) a drone follows are changed during routine maintenance, say to fire upon all targets within a certain geographic area. What then?

Its autonomous until it has to go down for fuel or maintenance.

We have completely adopted Japan’s one fairly bad side —that the MSM is an informal extension of the government.

How was it possible to build nukes right on a fault zone within spitting distance of where a Tsunami might strike?

Well, the MSM/gummint nexus was part of that.

I HEAR RUSHING WATER AHEAD.
