President Obama met with a group of prominent liberal commentators on Thursday to discuss the Gulf oil spill and the administration's response. The meeting came in the midst of a rare firestorm of criticism from the left over the president's response to the spill.
It was surely not coincidence that the journalists seen leaving the White House that afternoon--the New York Times's Gail Collins, the Washington Post's Eugene Robinson, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, and the Wall Street Journal's Gerald Seib--were some of the more prominent critics of the president's Oval Office address on Tuesday

Summary of the meeting.
Admin official: You are just a bunch of ignorant punks.
MSM(in unison): Yes, we are sir.
Admin official: You can easily be replaced, do you understand?
MSM(in unison): Yes sir.
Admin official: From now on, you will never again stray from the talking points we provide to you. I want more praise for this administration. I want anyone who questions anything we do attacked. Do you understand?
MSM(in unison): Yes sir.
Admin official: Alright now get the hell out of here. Olbermann and Matthews bring your kneepads, Obama wants a special make up session with you two.
Maddow: Can I come too?
Admin Official: Hell no! Yech, what are you thinking?
Matthews: I feel a tingle up and down my leg.
To: TexasCajun
Please sir, spank me again!

The meeting also suggests that Obama is devoting more effort to spinning his administration's policies concerning the gulf spill than he is with actually devising more effective policies. His meeting with these lefty journalists was, after all, roughly three times as long as his meeting with BP CEO Tony Hayward. aka...I like talking to useful idiots.

Well said, post of the day candidate.

In Obama’s world, that’s all there is.

That one should be obvious to even the talking head media. But they’ll probably let it pass. After all, they all dream of being invited to the White House as well.

Can you remember any other President calling in select so-called journalist for a personal meeting to get propaganda instruction. totally by-passing protocol -
What's the WH press pool for?
This alone should be hammered on big time - Press got their Marching Orders -
In obumbler's world, Free Press means they are Free to say what he tells them to
To: TexasCajun
This shouldn’t be a shock. Hitler met regularly with HIS propaganda ministers.

It's telling that the Obama Admin moves much more quickly to contain political problems in the liberal media universe than it did to contain the oil spill. There really doesn't seem to be much to add to that one. BTT.

Did Obama just meet with Buddy Holly or were the Crickets there as well?
