Obama Going on Six Months Without a Press Conference
fox ^ | 1/11/2010 | staff

Posted on 01/11/2010 6:42:33 PM PST by Nachum

President Obama is preparing for his State of the Union address, expected sometime in the next month, but some in the White House press corps are getting antsy for him to hold a news conference with reporters, something he hasn't done since July 22, almost six months ago.

Since Sarah is now a FOX employee do you suppose we could get her to ask BO a couple of really difficult questions?

The flacks are trying to figure out how to disguise the plasma-screen teleprompter the big zero needed at the last press conference.

He’s been in front of the cameras plenty of times, but never to answer any off the cuff questions from anyone with half a brain.

No, the pictures of him playing golf and body surfing qualify as news conferences. If they lowered the bar any more for this guy, it’ll be crushing ants and leaving a line of dead grass.

Is he not being allowed to have a press conference, just because he’s black? Man, that is racist!

Just goes to show you, that just because you have a black man in the oval office, they still will not let you axepress yoseff.

Oh, what, he doesn’t WANT to have a press conference? Never mind...

The multiple articles, pictures about them eating “Shave Ice”, did me in...

Hitler, if he could see this, would be so jealous.

Reporters no longer serve his political purpose because they have lost their audience and influence. He expects them to carry his water now that is if they want to continue having a career as a liberal “journalist”.

He don’t need to hold no stinkin presser - he is in the news one the half hour all day long, many times with audio clips. He is the most over exposed President I can remember every. We used to joke about all the press Jackie Kennedy had, but man-child has far surpassed the exposure the press gave her. It is soooo obvious the media is in love with this guy - every single one of these journalists, so called, and news readers get tingles up and down their legs on a daily basis. I simple refuse to watch any TV and when he comes on the radio every 30 minutes I switch it off.

Oh, Geez. I'd forgotten all about the "Sweetie" incident.

Obama says or does something jaw-droppingly unpresidential (or simply rude, bizarre, etc) every week, sometimes every day. It's impossible to remember them all.

....he got in 6 rounds of golf and the movie Avatar before responding to the Fruit of KABOOM bomber.....he's a busy guy. Now thing about this, his first response was to call it an "isolated incident"....while the news media already knew of the bombers history. Then after a day in what can only explain him getting briefed.....he comes out with this sense of anger. He's either totally clueless, or more incompetent than anyone figures. My personal way of thinking..he's a Muslim FIRST

Gibbs swallowed his foot, again:

http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2010/01/obamas_news_conference_lottery.html

Hands shot up in the press briefing room to the question of who wants a news conference -- an issue raised today by the veteran White House reporter, Helen Thomas, who will be celebrated by colleagues next week for 50 years of covering the White House and the publication of her new book, Listen Up, Mr. President.

Who wants a news conference?

"Who wants to win the lottery?'' Gibbs asked.

Are you saying our chances are the same? a reporter asked.

What’s the point of a press conference? Barry can’t tell the truth to save his soul.

Is it no small coincidence his last news conference was the “police acted supidly” debacle?

Flood the press room so that he can part the waters upon entering for a presser. Guaranteed he’ll show.
