Well, that’s what happens when a President puts his foot in his mouth at the prime-time press conference he himself demanded.

Fox News reporter Mike Emanuel tells Megyn Kelly that the new word out from Robert Gibbs is that Barack Obama is mystified about why the media would consider it a big deal when he accuses a local police department of acting “stupidly” in a case where he admitted he didn’t have all the facts.

In other words, Obama is blaming the media for covering his remarks, even though they were televised live to over 28 million people (via Patrick Hynes):

He is still bringing up race relations. If Gates and the President hadn’t said anything, race wouldn’t have entered into it.

That is ridiculous. He reacted to it during his PRIME TIME TELEVISED PRESS CONFERENCE. He’s the one who made it worse. Foot-in-mouth disease. That issue must have been assigned to the broken Teleprompter.

Blame the State Run Media? Uh Oh, that’s not the way to win friends and influence the agenda!

Quick, drag out Cheney or Bush!

So now the president is throwing the bulk of his adoring Media under the Bus? Doesn’t he know that it is the Media that determines who can, and cannot be disposed of in that manner?

Memo to BHO: the Media might suck it up & take one for the team this time. But you’ve just burned 1 of your 9 lives.

That is so hysterical. He needs to call them, I guess, and tell them what they can and cannot cover!

Actually, I’m surprised he didn’t claim to have inherited the controversy.

“Actually, I’m surprised he didn’t claim to have inherited the controversy.”

Interesting comment. This may be the first issue he has approached which he cannot blame Bush for...and he has failed miserably.
