Why ask a question like that of a racist? A Radical racist with known associations? What should be expected from a anti president?

What a load of pure horse chit. We already know they submit their questions in advance. And then are called from his list, who gets a question.....

“I got a call from the White House press office about 6:30 p.m. confirming I was indeed going to show up at the 8 p.m. press conference. I was told I “may” get a question from the president. No one asked me — directly or indirectly — about what I may be asking. No one from the White House tried to plant any question.”

Me thinks she protests too much!

Well, Ms. Sweet, your lobbed softball question turned out not to be so soft after all, and for that serendipitous event, I thank you.

LOL--she's apologizing for tossing a hand grenade instead of a softball.

So, if the President knows in advance which reporters he is going to pick for the questions - even to the point that they call them in advance to make sure they are at the press conference - AND - if it was so planned out that the President had to hurry to make sure that reporter gets to ask his/her question - THEN - what is the point of having the other reporters there? Is that how it was done when Bush was President?

It is utterly ridiculous to believe that the Whitehouse did not know in advance what she was going to ask. They choreographed everything else for her. The question was supposed to deflect attention off of his horrible health care bill - but “the most brilliant orator we’ve ever had for a President” blew the answer & took more heat for it. Still going down in the polls, they’re going to have to pull something else out of their hats to get people’s attention focused somewhere else.

Obama's answer also triggered a storm of questions to me -- by other reporters, readers e-mailing me and commenting on my blog about how and why I came to ask about Gates. No conspiracy, folks.

Sorry, you've humiliated "the one", you are obviously a radical right wing, possibly a "birther" plant and a racist who has temporarily halted the glorious march to Marxism. You must be professionally destroyed... /barf

Yep she asked a Joe the Plumber question and she should be afraid she’ll get the Joe the Plumber treatment.

Funny how they are always screaming that racism comes from the right but they are the ones obsessed with it, and turning every incident like this into a racial one.

“Gates, Wright, Sotomayer, Obama....ALL racists of the worst kind!! “

Isn’t that the truth? Day after day that is confirmed. The standard excuse seems to be “I could have phrased it better” after their inner-most true selves blurts out the naked, unvarnished truth.

Sure. That's why Obama said this when he called on her:

“Okay? All right. I tried to make that short so that Lynn Sweet would get her — the last question in.”

Poor Lynn. Trying so hard to help her fellow leftist in the White House, only to have it all explode in her face.
