White House: Obama Has Been Frustrated By Tough Questions From Media

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest admitted Thursday that President Obama has at times been frustrated by tough and frequent questions from the media during his time in office.

A reporter asked Earnest at the White House daily press briefing whether Obama watched Donald Trump’s press conference on Wednesday and what he thought of the president-elect’s strong reaction to some of the questions.

Earnest said that he did not know whether Obama had seen the press conference before pivoting to his own experience in the White House press office during the Obama administration. Earnest said there have been several situations in which he and some of his White House colleagues did not agree with the way that certain journalists have chosen to ask the president questions.

Because the press hated him and hounded him mercilessly.

Are you comfortable? Is that chair to stiff? Do you need a pillow?

Anything more challenging than “how does it feel to wake up every morning knowing you are the greatest man who ever lived?” causes Obola to experience shrinkage.

Tough media question:

“Tell us once again Mr. President, how great does it feel to wake up knowing you are the most wonderful person ever born?”

Obama has his own definition of what a tough question is.

“How does it make you feeeeeeeeeeel to be the first black president?” was one hardball question he got. Back when they were asking Palin who was the leader of Persia in the 13th Century....

And that surprises who? Obama’s only agenda was to promote his cultural marxists pro-Islamic agenda, which could not be defended.

Tough questions like “how many states are there?”

Considering their lips were firmly planted on his butt for nine years (campaign plus Presidency), the most difficult thing the media could have asked of Obama would have been for him not to make sudden turns.

Of course he’d be frustrated because he can’t answer any questions without Valerie Jarrett to tell him what to say. Hell, she’s been the president these past 8 years. He needs a written out presentation on teleprompters. I’m surprised he can read.

Obama said of himself: “President Obama believed deeply in this democracy and the American people.”

And America demonstrated what they think of that fatuous statement by rejecting his party top-down last November.

====================================================

I think back to the emergence of the Royal Idiot on the political scene....clearly unqualified, clearly an American-hater.....wormed his way into the political system under false pretenses.

Remember his 2008 PR person Anita Dunn? The White House communications director said they held back all info on Obama....only told the media what THEY wanted them (and gullible voters) to know.

======================================

Every minute of every day Obama shows and proves what a crud he is. He never should have been president. He has been a human wrecking ball for the US and our interests world-wide.

==================================================

This deluded megalomaniac clearly got into American politics under false pretenses.

His disgusting European apology tour certainly proved his rank hatred of America. His capabilities in office demonstrated a remarkable proclivity for looting the US Treasury.

In it only for the money, you say? You betcha. The Washington Times says he leaves office as a billionaire.....and plans to shake the money tree bigtime (coached by those practiced grifting experts....the Clintons).

===============================================

The clock is ticking, his time in the White House is fading....but Obama is not going quietly. Boobamba left Americans a divided nation, trillions in debt, and a cartload of parasitic freeloaders sucking up our tax dollars, many of whom plan to kill us.

If that wasnt enough, Boobamba says he and the missus intend to stay active....to take years and years to transform America even more. He's proud he fundamentally transformed the nation we loved into a violent, hate-filled place.

============================================

I just hope and pray he doesn't fall off his triycle as he's ticking off his "accomplishments."

LOL, what a laugh!

Obama has been the beneficiary of the Ministry of Propaganda’s best efforts to prop him up and shield him.
