"Let Me Just Cut You Off, Because I Don't Want You To Waste Your Question"
That's what Barack Obama said today when John McCormick of the Chicago Tribune tried to ask about Rahm Emanuel's contacts with the Blagojevich team.
Obama said, "It would be inappropriate for me to comment and I don't want to get into the details at this point." So a short time later, McCormick came up with a more acceptable question: "Do you or [Secretary of Education-designate Arne Duncan] have a better jump shot?" The whole thing had a "Saturday Night Live" feel to it.
The interaction with McCormick stood out from previous meetings with the press. And speaking about the exchange on MSNBC shortly after, NBC Washington bureau chief Mark Whitaker said that reporters have not been aggressive enough during Obama's post-election pressers.
"Our job is to hold him to account," Whitaker said, adding that he thinks "we're going to have to get tougher."

Suppose sometime after Jan 20, 2009, a crisis is going to come to a head. Obama's reaction will be to:
a) assume the fetal position underneath his desk, sucking his thumb;
b) declare martial law.
What gets me is the hypocrite Huffpo librats yelling and screaming that Sarah Palin would turn questions around during her debate with Biden and not answer them, yet when Obama does it after he was been elected they back off and stay quiet like little slaves of the Obamaman. It’s pathetic.
McCormick: Thank you Your Highness for saving my question.
I don’t want you to waste your question.
These are not the droids you are looking for.
Obama is a Jedi. /s
No.
c) find some crack and go back to being a crack head.
d) have a mental breakdown and require heavy doses of prescribed meds.
A question is a terrible thing to waste.
You know, I listened to the video of that and I thought What in the world is he thinking that he says I dont want you to waste your question?? HUH?
My thought exactly! Pre -meeting setup of - Who will get called on?
How long before Whitaker finds his pet dog dead in the driveway?
The Military is pretty much out of town for the weekend. And, I'm not convinced that all that ammunition that vanished at the OKC gunshow, last Saturday, was bought by commodity brokers looking for an investment...
A chill wind blows.
Obama lied. Democracy died.
Welcome to America 2.0
Has anyone else noticed how COLD Obama always is? He is a humorless, cold, calculating, hard individual. When he shows any kind of passion at all it’s staged, fake passion, designed to appeal to a crowd, and even THAT is hard and cold and calculating.
I keep wondering if his cocaine use could have made him that way. It’s been known to harden personalities and make the user only care about himself, deep down. Anyone can be sacrificed to this coldness, even his own daughters, or his future grandkids (”If they make a mistake I don’t want them saddled with a baby!”)
This guy send chills up my spine of foreboding. He is evil.
The show is quite lively sometimes....Mika gets her knickers in a twist ALL the time, and the Dems show their true colors sometime also.
The question I have is he still inhaling the powder????
That apt description brought an immediate chuckle.
