We know the drill: Read the teleprompter for a few minutes, take questions from a few plants in audience, total of twelve or thirteen questions in an hour, filibuster, end to rave reviews from the state run media.

White House propaganda e-mail sent to NextGov.com

[pulaskibush]

There are so many important things going on. Healthcare, Amnesty, Cap & Trade, Iran getting Nukes, North Korea shooting missles, the Federal Reserve could have been asked about. Instead we all get to hear about some guy who was accidentally arrested then later let go.

[1035rep]

He’s a lying bastard.

If you get a call that two black males just robbed the liquor store, you don’t pull over and check out white folk.

Lying bastard.

[VanDeKoik]

“Obama just called the White House “his house”.”

That little $%#@!!

[Loud Mime]

Remember, Obama is a lawyer and gets lots of money from other lawyers. He just padded all their pockets.

[behzinlea]

The only thing likely to be more vomit-inducing than this ghastly press-conference will be the White-House-liberal media spin that will follow it. It will be hailed as one of the greatest presidential press conferences and speeches in the history of the Republic. Chris Matthews will be in rapture.

[maggief]

What crap! Lynn Sweet got the last question, off topic race relations.

[Andy'smom]

He made a big mistake with that one. The Cambridge police did nothing wrong.

[Lurking in Kansas]

...yeah, call them stupid...

[Shqipo]

>>>He is lying about the Prof Gates thing!!!<<
—Bigtime! Glad he's doing it, though, because it will get the story exposure and more will learn what self-important, and loudmouthed jerks he has for friends.

[McGruff]

1000?

[John W]

And, in case we didn’t already realize this is totally staged FNC had the same name and paper up for both the “imposter” and the “scheduled questioner”. This is a farce.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

HUH.

[spectre]

Obama said he would "get shot" if he tried to break into his own house.

I got nothing to add to that remark..

[skippermd]

WOW. So all those years in college and med school were wasted because I clearly only make decisions based on how much I get paid...

I have never been so offended. Now I am 100% convinced that Obama has NO IDEA how the system works because the expensive treatments are the last to ever be approved whether or not they are the most appropriate for the patient. He just contradicted his entire hour of arguments about health insurance, drug costs, etc... Clearly its just us docs being greedy.

[STARWISE]

She sure did .. the Chicago baiter .. playing
right into his Rev. Wright ideology. They
could’ve very well ‘arranged’ that.

[musicbymuzak]

listening on fox radio. did you hear barry call the white house “HIS?!” gd idiot.

[musicman]

Excellent!!!

[crunk]

So much for post-racial.... He could have answered that much more diplomatically without stirring up racial tensions.

[onemiddleamerican]

Now he's discussing race relations and how the Cambridge police acting "stupidly" when they arrested his black buddy after he broke into his own home. Even though, as President, he is not privy to all the facts of this incident.

Pertinent to the health care debacle, of course.

Presser over. 11, count 'em, 11 questions asked.

Zero answered.

[HoosierHawk]

She was planted to ask the question and he responded, admittingly, not knowing the facts.
