Pres. Obama Greets Diane Sawyer With A Pre-Interview Kiss
mediaite ^ | 1/25/10 | Steve Krakauer

Posted on 01/25/2010 7:06:59 PM PST by Laverne

ABC News had an exclusive interview with Pres. Barack Obama, ahead of his first State of the Union speech Wednesday.

It was a big interview for Diane Sawyer – but it was jarring and a little odd to see Pres. Obama greet her with a kiss.

Oh boy -- Dianne kisses, Brian Bows, and Katie swoons. What an upstanding set of "news" anchors we have.

And yet it won’t be the LEAST bit jarring to see HER lips planted firmly on his backside during the entire interview, LOL!

What a joke the media is! What a FOOL our Pres__ent is!

That’s OK. He did the same thing with Brian William and George Stephonopolous - only with Stephi, he used much more tongue.

It’s just 0bama’s ol’ white grandmother coming out and trying to prove that he is just one of the girls! ;-) Really, it looked like he was trying to be her girl friend. Yuck!

Uhn.... That’s weird.

This guy is just, so forward, with everyone.

He is absolutely going to be a one termer, as he is going to injure his back with the global ass kissing he does.

The pain will be so bad he will require meds and a back brace just to sit up.

Responded to this earlier this evening on another thread. I watched the Diane Sawyer interview of Obama on the ABC World News tonight. In all fairness to Diane Sawyer she actually looked skeptical at some of Obama’s responses to her questions. However, this has to be balanced by ‘rat operative George Stephanopoulos interview last Friday AM of the annointed one. What is with all these exclusive ABC interviews of Obama?
Yeah, I know, he doesn't feel threatened, he can roll them over ... how about an interview with FOX? BO won't go there ... guaranteed.

Don’t mistake those looks for skepticism. She is still struggling with being sober at 6:30 PM.

Well, my first thought after reading this was:

Katie must be so jealous!!!!

Although lots of people greet their friends with a peck on the cheek — when has a “news anchor” ever started an interview with a peck on the cheek? Since when are the “news anchors” supposed to be friends with the President.

She doesn’t help herself with this at all; how can anyone ever trust a word she says about HIMSELF when she starts an “interview” with such a friendly gesture.

I thought her job was to question him, not to be friends with him.

Unlike the last Democrat president, at least he keeps these, um, intimate greetings above the waist.

He’s greeted Nancy Pelosi with a kiss lots of times on camera. I never thought it was weird at all.

I guess Nancy is a friendly colleague and Diane isn’t (or rather shouldn’t be) so it’s inappropriate.
