"But, there have also been times where the press investigated something, and I thought, 'You know what, this is a problem,'" he said.

This coming from a boy that has the media cheering his every illegal move? And enjoys a 53% approval rating eight years into his reign of terror? America truly has fallen down the rabbit hole.

The AP gleefully admitted that they submitted stories to the whitehouse for approval.

Yeah, a free press is “healthy,” especially when it acts as a sycophantic house organ for him and his RAT party.

Of course the Non-American Free Press is frustrating, Herr Obama, my Beloved Leader of Idiots. But don't worry Herr Obama, my Beloved Leader of Idiots, the American Free Press has your back and still fawns over every lie you tell with such great oratory skills.

I don’t understand why OBUNGHOLE would find the presstitutes frustrating; they agree with everything he says and does, no matter how ILLEGAL or UN-AMERICAN.

You mean the “free press” that submits its articles to the Democrat National Committee and your White House for prior approval, don’t you, 0bama?
