Would this be a case of manhandling? How many Presidents have talked to a reporter in this way by grabing his shoulder and giving him the riot act? Just look at the ANGER in his eyes. He's on the edge of losing it.

The press wants to sleep with the guy.

News organizations that cover the White House sparred with the Obama administration on Thursday over access issues for photographers and rules for briefings.

Obama has a record of not releasing info & keeping his past a mystery so why in the world would the media have their noses out of joint now that he's Prez & doesn't want to be forthcoming? /S

Members of the press, even those who supported and helped elect, Obama will look back one day soon and refer to the Bush years as “The good ol’ days!”

I think they made the mistake of assuming the White House would be as accommodating of them as the campaign had been. They are in for a rude awakening. Obama has a demonstrated record of keeping info about him from the public. It never dawned on them he would carry that into his presidency!

The new opaque transparency.



Obama saw the incredibly vicious hit job photography practiced on former President Bush and doesn't want these kinds of photos to undermine his Messianic image. Who didn't see this coming?

Representatives from Obama's press office held a conference call with photo editors, who are concerned that the administration prefers distributing photos taken by a White House photographer in cases where photojournalists have been permitted access in the past

He wants to continue having those spacey "staring off" leadership portraits, none of the monkey-faced or scowling Bush photos we had to endure from the Presstitutes for the past 8 years.

This is about control of his marketing image and is positively UnAmerican. Then again, I expected nothing less from a spoiled brat who brags about not growing up here and wants to take this nation down several pegs on the world stage.

""Obama said he had watched press secretary Robert Gibbs debut briefing "in anticipation of some flop sweat. ... I just want to thank you for not completely ripping up Gibbs," Obama said.

"I am very proud of him today. He got a fist bump from me.""

Just keepin' it real, Yo!

He’s a spoiled brat and had an encounter with antiabortion protesters yesterday. He is unaccustomed to challenges to his policies or marketing image.

He’s no Carter 2. He’s an American Mugabi.

I don’t quite think he is losing it, but I do find it hilarious that “Mr. Transparency” is not interested in being questioned.

That was evident in the way that Joe the Plumber was destroyed for daring to question “The One”.

Bush was so much more tolerant of free speech than anyone.

If Bush were as bad as Olbermann and Mahr said he was, they both would have been eliminated via uranium poisoning.

Yet they were free to rip Bush in a way that no other president has been ripped.

Would not the media have a field day denouncing W with "How dare he talk to the press this way?!" even during their "honeymoon" (which we all new never existed)? But now, the talking heads will just blame the reporter with the how-dare-he? stuff!

The guy should have brushed his shoulder off after Barky let go.

Gibbs said, "we would have had to get a bigger room."

Wow, that would have been tough to find in the White House.

Racial anger and aggression? He looks unhinged.

Maybe he needs a nicotine break. He acts like someone angry at a father that walked out on him. Chip on the shoulder.

AS I have said all along, as I continue to repeat over and over, just read my tag line below, Saddam Hussein Obama is nothing short of a Chicago gangland punk thug. He is a thug, a smart ass punk. Look at that face. It tells you just the same as you see in the face of any black gangland thug out doing his thang. He is a crook, a punk, a thug, a slime ball piece of pig dung. America has been hoodwinked into getting free stuff from Stalin Jr. This is what you got. You may have thought you were getting your messiah America. All you got was a thug. Pure, 100%, ass hole thug punk.

Had he grabbed my shoulder like that, I'd have slugged him. Secret Service be damned, this guy has the right to self-defense.

Obambi has no right to touch anybody, let alone try to "read them the riot act". What a punk.
