Can anyone tell me why they maintain that he does not speak to reporters? Is it because they only have a few questions --

2) When will you admit you stole the election?
3) When will you abandon the White House and give us the final Dick Nixon wave as you leave?
4) When will withdraw the troops from Iraq?
