Seating for Obama's News Conference

FOX News ^ | February 10, 2009 | By Bret Baier

Former correspondent Helen Thomas — who lost her front row perch when she became a columnist — was back in first class and was one of only 13 reporters allowed to ask a question. ?

Ugh. For that reason alone one should never vote Democrat. And no, I won't be posting a picture...

[devane617]

I bet Helen wont be up front again...

[freekitty]

Like is this important?

[italianquaker]

What does this woman look like, rules are rules

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Here. This one's better.

**Obama said during the session that the stimulus contained “not a single pet project. Not a single earmark.” **

ACORN = pet

[SERKIT]

Any idea why there was an empty chair in the front row? Was it in case Helen dropped her teeth?

[mylife]

A reporter from the liberal Huffington Post and liberal radio host Ed Schultz were on the front row.

I bet Skinner and Moulitsas were under the lecturn.

What does she look like? If you were wearing the biggest beer goggles in the universe you’d still say, ‘No thanks, I’ll pass..I’d rather dip the wick in sulfuric acid’.

'Was it in case Helen dropped her teeth?"

Either that, or in case the old bag dropped dead and they had to quickly stash her someplace in case of early onset rigor. The show must go on, after all.

[Mr. K]

Remember how the presstitutes howled when Jeff Gannon was asking conservative questions to Pres. W.?

The presstitutes actually INVESTIGATED him! (he was found to be a conservative blogger with a gay online past)

Will they be so inclined to investigate biased LIBERAL reporters?

[Peelod]

Any idea why there was an empty chair in the front row?

Reserved for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

[fishergirl]

“And no, I won’t be posting a picture...” Oh, bless you for that!

[taraytarah]

I bet Helen wont be up front again...

1976

Helen will no longer be up front once BO's Excellent Rescue determines her next major medical treatment isn't cost effective.

[originalbuckeye]

Wah, wah, wah. We helped get him elected and now he won't pay attention to us! They don't get it......it is ALWAYS about him and no one else.

[machogirl]

is there a helen thomas ping list? i’m a glutton for punishment.

[TCats]

“President Obama said during the session that the stimulus contained “not a single pet project. Not a single earmark.”

This, among a number if misstatements in his hour long dissertation/campaign presentation, was absolutely astonishing to me, an already well seasoned cynic.

[paulycy]

Rules are rules (unless you're a democrat, I guess):

[dandiegirl]

Good! I hope he continues to make them mad. They probably have plenty on him at their fingertips. It will just take him making the wrong person mad one too many times.
