They’ll still find ways to refute that chart.

Good luck on your wording. I have some liberal relatives too. Libs don’t like to admit they are wrong. They usually suffer in silence but will complain among themselves and make up excuses for their “masters”.

Darn shame that the reporters who were not among the chosen few didn’t get up and walk out. Set up the cameras on the lawn and do a live, “Folks, this is what is going on in your White House tonight. There have been five (or what ever the number was) members of the national press that has been excluded from the news conference tonight. Etc. Etc.”

“Yes, President Bush used his list to only identify reporter.”

You don’t seriously think Bush (or Clinton, or Bush, or Reagan) went in with no idea who he wanted to call on, do you? Do you really think their advisers never told them to call on certain people? If so, you’re seriously naive.

Show me proof all the questions were scripted and fed to the press and they slavishly asked those questions, and then I’ll get mad.

Now I know they had to have been reading FR because on March 18 I posted this comment to a thread :

Dodd: Administration pushed for language protecting bonuses (Dodd Throws Obama under The Bus)

Wednesday, March 18, 2009 10:55:01 PM · 83 of 159 CitizenM to icwhatudo

I feel like this country has been made to play a game of "Clue" over this question of who included the loophole in the Stimulus that AIG (and others) could get their bonuses from our tax bailout funds.

It was first Professor Plum who did it, in the treasury. No, it was Mr. Green, in the hearing room. Wrong, Col. Mustard ordered it, in the oval office with a pen.

Whoever, whatever...they are all running around blaming everyone else and expecting that all Americans are so stupid that we won't care and they can excuse themselves for a "mistake" that, as Reid said "was hindsight now." This is the most disgusting Administration and Congress ever. Since Obama got elected all the snakes have come out from under the rocks to plague us, feeling safe since their president is so inept and corrupt himself that they can get away with anything.

So obviously what they wrote and put on TV came from their review of our dear FreeRepublic, LOL!

Well, you pointed it out, and rightfully so. I didn’t think about it in that way until now. Thanks.

The reporters submitted their questions and agreed to ask those questions when called, as he went down the list (thirteen total in 45 minutes). Obama’s answers were totally scripted. Yet Matthews had tingly legs over Obama’s “command of the issues”. It’s all a show.

It also dawned on me that all the Obamateur seems to be is a newsreader. The parallels are striking when you think about it.

OMG, we've hired Katie Couric!

And the DNC continues to collude with the media to pull the wool over people’s eyes.

These are the same treasonous bastards who decried even considering reading press releases from the Pentagon “it’s nothing but propaganda”.

There was another guy that read his given question like a surly school kid made to stand and speak. He garbled it and had to read it twice, not even sure himself what the meaning of it was. too funny

It is a keeper, isn't it?

I need a videographer who can do the monkey scene from 2001 and as the bone flys up in the air to the very familiar tune, it transforms into a 52" jet black LCD screen rotating with glimpses of an obvious telempropter script scrolling by as the face side of the obelisk poresents itself.

Or would that be too racist? I swear the monkeys are a coincidence. Maybe instead of monkeys we use prominent RAT pols dressed up in Fred Flintstone / Barney Rubble (!) costumes, but still hammering away with bones - perhaps on a pile of money!!!

Whadda ya think?
