Helen Thomas hits White House for lack of transparency Thursday, 02 July 2009 11:11 President Barack Obama answered pre-selected questions Wednesday afternoon about health care sent in from emails, Facebook and Twitter. CBS’ Chip Reid and columnist Helen Thomas thought this reflected a lack of transparency at the White House.

“It feels like the concept of a town hall, I think, is to have an open public forum. And this sounds like a very tightly controlled audience and list of questions. Why do it that way?” asked Reid.

As with most news stories critical of the 0bama administration. This story is hard to find in the MSM.

Don’t fool yourself. Helen was not just representing herself. Knowing that he wouldn’t dare attack an older seasoned journalist, she was selected by the committee, who agreed to back her up with one younger male.
The press corp is ticked.

Look, Helen needs to just shut up and print whatever gems of divine insight Obama grants her. Isn’t that the media’s role these days?

Look how quickly it's gotten out in the media, you tube etc. If they were in BO’s camp it would have been stuffed, like they did the BC question. (only FOX picked that one up)
There is at least a group who isn't buying the media control anymore. Wish we knew who they were and their contact information, so we could send them the list from kindergarten record, to college admittance papers etc etc etc. The American people have a right to know.

Helen Thomas and transparency should never be used in the same sentence, the metal image that could occur is enough to make most men jam red hot pokers in their eyes.

AS a special added service to the viewers of this thread an antidote.....

Sarah Palin with a shotgun broke down over her back....

Bull. They are peeved because the omnipotent netherlands have gone into restricted exposure and that cuts back severely on @ss kissing time.

Regardless, they are upset, and if BO doesn’t handle this to their liking, they WILL get even. The pen is mightier than the sword and all....And the old fat lady leads the way.

Oh, please. They will huff for a few minutes until he strokes their hair and tells them how beautiful they are. Then they'll go right back to cooking him dinner, washing his dirty drawers and giving him a ...

I'll stop now.

If the GOP had a brain they would clean up ACORN and bring out Marsha Blackburn at the last minute with a strong male.

Note to Helen: stay off planes, don’t have a doctor come over to your house, never be alone in parks
