SOURCE: Reporters were told in advance if president was going to call on them. Senior Administration Officials notified reporters from Stars & Stripes, Univision and other news outlets that they should have question ready. Several reporters moved up in assigned seats as result...

From AP reporter Ron Fournier:

Analysis: Teleprompter telegraphs Obama caution

AP!!!! Unbelievable!!

[pillut48]

George Soros!

One of my BIGGEST pet peeves!!

I listen to WBAP—the talk shows are all very conservative BUT ABC owns it so the news is ‘tainted’—every time I heard snide remarks from Ann Compton I’d have to switch channels...she didn’t bother to hide her contempt for President Bush over the years with her so-called ‘un-biased’ reporting, nor her fawning schoolgirl crush on Obama—good to see HER in the national/international spotlight for a change looking like an idiot!

“I’m just shocked that the dumbest man ever to pretend to be POTUS is this scripted.”

I would be shocked to hear the questions weren’t vetted in advance.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

"The idiot from ABC acted surprised"...she is a very powerful megaphone for the Obama perpetual campaign, just as she was very powerful in slamming GWB every hour for eight years...

Perhaps "useful idiot" would have been more appropriate then?

[anniegetyourgun]

Would we watch a rigged game show? The Obie Show should be boycotted because it’s like any other made-for-TV- program.

Without the entertainment value

Is there a thread on Zero intimidating reporters again?

[luvie]

Of course he knew the questions in advance. See my tagline for the explanation! LOL! TOTUS saved his butt, it seems!

[mellow velo]

The featured story on the Yahoo homepage this a.m. was Obama’s response to CNN’s Ed Henry re the delayed AIG outrage. Most of the comments to the blog that’s linked to the story are of the opinion that TOTUS gave Henry a good, and deserved, smackdown. I caught this part while in the car, but thought it was a very curt reply. Obama’s anger clearly came through the radio. Not very presidential, if you ask me.

He's makin' a list,

He's checkin' it twice,

He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice,

President-O is goin' to town!

[maica]

Absolutely. An acolyte of the highest order. I wonder if she did something to upset Der Fuhrer, since he called on her ‘unexpectedly.’

She definitely wants to keep her reserved seat on AF1.

Actuality: Zero is dumb as a rock!

[Sir Gawain]

Egad, Hillary Clinton wasn’t this scripted.

And Hillary wouldn't have had the balls to go full on communist like Ogabe has.

[untwist]

The TOTUS may have kept him on subject, but it seems that even moderates are seeing that Obama’s spending with annual deficits of over $1T over the next 9 years is scaring people. A big problem that keeps coming through is that Obama has no credibility. Since he has no experience and no record of achievement, he is easy to refute. He is going up against CBO projections, and he lacks the cred needed to be believed. I think the pushback against him will shock him. This monstrosity will fall, or if he gets it, we will have revolution.

We are gonna need a LOT of popcorn
for this smackdown when it comes!

[wastedyears]

Tina, I think I noticed something... there weren’t any teleprompters there.

[Unlikely Hero]

“Also sprach Telethustra”

LOL!

Obama, take care!
What does the teleprompter declare?
The press was asleep—
From this sleep they woke and swear.
Your act is lame—lamer than the electorate had been aware.
Deep is its woe
Patriotism deeper yet than agony
The people implore—Go!
But Obama wants eternity,
Wants deep, wants deep eternity.

[Never on my watch]

I understand the point you are trying to make, but PLEASE never again use Ronaldus Magnus in any comparison with Hillary.

[wastedyears]

Not cool, not cool!!!
