Helen Thomas: Not Even Nixon Tried to Control the Media Like Obama

Did Obama say that?

Do you see quote marks?

As I recall, he did say something similar though, not too long after being inaugurated.

My tagline is a riff on the Barbie which said, "Math is hard."

I’m telling you, Obama is making it easier and easier for Hillary to oppose him in 2012.

I don’t know the character, but I take your word.

[GOPsterinMA]

Thanks!

I thought her “questions” could more accurately described as political statements. And in that rare instance when she asked a question it tended to be a “did you beat your wife today” kind of question.

In any case, perhaps a kernal of intergrity still resides in her otherwise dembot cranium.

LOL Google “Junior Samples”

[carenot]

She just wants them to be descrete and pretend the media is independent.

Hahaaa.....Maybe she is still jealous about not getting paid to promote his views.

[GOPsterinMA]

Must be related...what a resemblance.

[carenot]

The day Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I'll kill myself," were designed to sow the seeds of discontent, not to uncover facts.

I didn't know about her saying that.

I was and am against the Iraq war. But since we are there now, I don't see a way out.

[carenot]

So you admire someone who has said "When I get up in the morning I decide who I am going to hate today." Interesting.

That sounds like something I might say when I am joking. And yes, I admire her.

[carenot]

She doesn't always ask good questions. Some of her questions in the past have been ill-informed and borderline paranid psychotic

Do you mean like when she asked about the Bush payola scheme? That wasn't ill-informed.

[carenot]

Note to Helen: You and your media friends have totally been puppets in the hands of NObama.

Does anyone remember Jeff Gannon? Now THERE was a puppet. :)

[Cyman]

Do you mean she is right when she asks questions you like? The kind that is embarrassing to Obama?

So all the other times she was wrong when she asked questions that President Bush’s administration didn’t want answered?

I don’t have a different standard for Obama than I had for Bush”

You are honestly saying that Helen Thomas asks the same quantity and quality of questions for Obama that she asked for Bush( When will President Bush stop beating his wife Ms. Perrino?)??????????????.

If you believe THAT, you are WAY overdue for your Thorazine with a Prozac chaser.

I hear beer pouring.Helen-Oh Helen.:)

Gibbs’ latest press conference LOL

[carenot]

Really warmed my heart to see how completely irrelevant she is to the general public (keep in mind that it's tourist season in DC).

Hahaaa, you have to remember that most people have no idea who their representative is and only about half know who the vice president is.

[carenot]

Oh, I guess I was thinking of when Bush said, "Being President is hard work...really hard."

I thought Obama had said something like that, too.

[Marysecretary]

Good for Helen! I hope she can get her points across. Gibbs is clueless...

[Marysecretary]

Well, WE knew it would be from the beginning.

[Marysecretary]

Baghdad Bob fits better, LOL.
