Okay, went back to the site and there is a “listen” button at the top. The guy narrating the story starts out sounding like someone from NPR and they went he repeats Obama’s supposed irritation sounds like Max Headroom and speaks haltingly as if reading a David Mamet script.

Stupid! Where is the audio and the video of the comments.

The news people are starting to make up stories and/or present stories making it appear that Obama is being asked tough questions and that he is stressed from them. As if to present a storyline that being the president is a difficult task but Obama is on the job.

Where.T.F. is the actual content and context?

Sam Donaldson really broke the ice for them with Ronald Reagan, as they would be shouting questions at him while he was walking from the WH to his helicopter, without even glancing at them because he couldn’t hear them. Donaldson would yell out a loud string of profanity directed at Reagan, that Reagan did hear.

It all started with Watergate, that was the Press' big win, ever since then, they've been milking it for all its worth.

It was a better world before journalists decided to start making themselves the story.

Somehow I can’t see our congenitally leftist MSM getting mad at Hussein, calling him out, writing or saying nasty things or even asking real questions any time soon. The love fest will be endless and the destruction of the nation along with the usurpation of our liberties...quite rapid.

"We will be having a press conference at which time you can feel free to [ask] questions."

Except for that racist, hack-journalist from The Politico. He'll never get the chance to ask a question at MY pressers.

Theme song for the next 4 years....

Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And all his limbs hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off and his...
He is brave Sir Robin,
Brave Sir Robin who...
To fight and...............

Brave Sir Robin RAN AWAY
Bravely, ran away...away...
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely talking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin

I fault the reporter who didn’t know when to stop. The guy is coming by to say hello and they want a presser. I would say the same for GWB if he was just trying to be friendly and got jumped.

I agree. If it was Bush getting mugged by some snotty liberal reporter while just stopping in to say hello people would be complaining.

Amazing how the standards change depending on who holds the office.

I can’t wait until they start grilling Obama about the suggestion that he was born in Kenya (and not a natural born American citizen and ineligible to serve as President). British citizenship? Indonesian?

Dont hold your breath. No one wants to hear hes not an American, I can maybe see fox doing it IF there's enough popular support for an Investigation into his birth records.

paused a little longer than necessary between the words "president" ...

They were just curious about how that word sounded. They have not used it in 8 long years. Kind of like learning to speak or walk again after a bad accident that left one incapacitated.

Good for politico the media are pissed off with the second swearing in and now this.

He revealed that he had already gotten in two work outs since being sworn in Tuesday.
"Turns out I have a little gym up there,"

Oh thank GOD!!! I was so worried he wouldn't be able to keep up with his work outs. < /s>

We will have to show the news libs that we want Obama’s citizenship investigated. All it takes is one court to subpoena Obama’s original birth certificate and then enforce it when he doesn’t comply.
