Obama cracks, press room 'worse than the Middle East' By: Jonathan Martin and Carrie Budoff Brown January 22, 2009 07:48 PM EST
President Obama made a surprise visit to the White House press corps Thursday night, but got agitated when he was faced with a substantive question.
Asked how he could reconcile a strict ban on lobbyists in his administration with a Deputy Defense Secretary nominee who lobbied for Raytheon, Obama interrupted with a knowing smile on his face.
"Ahh, see," he said, "I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here."
Pressed further by the Politico reporter about his Pentagon nominee, William J. Lynn III, Obama turned more serious, putting his hand on the reporter's shoulder and staring him in the eye.
"Alright, come on" he said, with obvious irritation in his voice. "We will be having a press conference at which time you can feel free to [ask] questions. Right now, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to you guys - that's all I was trying to do."
The president was quickly saved by a cameraman in the room who called out: “I’d like to say it one more time, ‘Mr. President.’ ”
Obama spent about 10 minutes total, winding his way through a crush of reporters and photographers between the upper and lower floors of the journalists' workspace and asking questions about who worked where and how the booths and desks were assigned.

Now that is scary.
The fall couldn’t cometh too quickly.
“I’d like to say it one more time, ‘Mr. President.’ ”
gag. make me puke. I cant wait til these asskissers wake up and find their God is an empty suit crook from chicago.
too bad the country is going to pay a terrible price. but I suppose we get the government we deserve.
How racist! This will get him a fatwa or two!
...this so called Black Messiah can’t even answer one EASY question? He’s worse than I thought. Although, John McCain issued a statement condemning the reporter for asking a question.
He has ascended the throne, but he is still a Pretender!
No virgins for barry!!
Uhh -- YEAH! You are the POTUS. Even if you fart it is news.
And now the guy that asked the question will make it his mission in life to get an answer.
What a stupid, stupid man. Even his eminence grice handlers soros and ayers could not have prepared him for this. carter is too stupid to be a handler so the new fuhrer's butt is flapping in the wind.
Guess he won’t be going down there much. I mean if he didn’t expect to get questions in the press room . . .
Oh, you are so right about the scary side of this guy.
This man is so stupid.
If THAT is your attitude, why the he!! are you POTUS you arrogant ####????
Ceasar is here for you to worship!
Shout my praises, smiles everyone smiles!
Be blessed in my presence and I will reward some of you with the honor of a question another day!
WHAT AN ASS!
After watching the Obama/Craig fiasco today about Gitmo and the detainees, I am now convinced that the Obamacorns have “elected” the biggest dumbass that has ever come down the pike. I thought the ‘RATS in the MSM said this joker, Obama, was smart! What the hell is their definition of “smart?” This country is being run by Greg Craig or Craig Greg or whatever the hell that lawyer’s name is. We are in heap big trouble!
Poor baby.
Looks like our narcissistic, immature PC prez has a temper poo just like billy boy did. Neither liked being challenged on the spot because both needed writers and/or time to get their stories straight.
