White House press corps ~~stands~~ kneels, then bends over for Obama

Now, doesn’t that seem more accurate?

If The One were forced to trod upon a muddy path, wouldn’t you expect Chuck Todd or Helen Thomas to lay their coats over it for him?

HELL no — I’d expect Chuck or Helen to throw themselves over it for The One!

Well in this particular case, Obama interrupted the press conference Gibbs was giving to announce the retirement of Souter. So it is possible that they were caught off guard.

I’d have to see another instance of them standing to make a judgment.

It was OK to stand but when they raised their right hands and did the old Sig Heil thing, I thought that was a little over the top.

I love it when the lefties on the lefty sites say the MSM is controlled by conservatives. If this isn’t proof positive of the media being completely biased to the point of “Messiah Worship” I don’t know what is.

Hannity says it all the time: JOURNALISM IS DEAD…..

I am confused.

Don’t you normally kneel when you percieve you’re job to be to fellate the Messiah and ensure his success??

Why did they stand?

Man, they bounded up almost as fast as NancyBlowsi did during the SOTU address.

Did they stand for Clinton when he was president, or is this a new phenomenon?

/The press is so far in for Obama that Obama needs a glass belly button just so the press can see where it’s going.

I just love it when “journalists” try to explain the actions and biases of other “journalists”.

American Journalism: spine removal mandatory. I've met jellyfish with more backbone than the current press corps. When they wake from this pipedream, they will either cut their own throats, or go for Barry's. Human nature cannot survive on licked spittle for too long.

Wow, the Leftist flying squirrels are out in force here tonight.

What was it that Fudd called them? Oh yeah, “Fur-bearing rodents” in correct-speak, “Fuh-baywing wodents” in a language that was widely accepted as OK at the time, even by Democrats.

Be vewy vewy quiet.

The MSM has evolved into nothing but a propaganda arm and purveyor of puff pieces for Obama and the Democratic Party.
They should of had the grace to stand for the Office of the President even if they did not like the man.

Then we have the Obamabots wondering why we won’t give him a chance? What chance did the left give Bush, other than disrespect? None. So long as this man, Obama wants to destroy the country that I love, I won’t give him my respect. He has to earn it, and he’s not off to a good start.

Are there any reports of journalists who are either
sick,on leave,or have vanished from the face of the
earth,if they forgot to stand,and honour the ‘ONE’?

They’re just really, really, unbelievable, outrageously, insanely, totally like, you-have-no-freaking-idea-how-much… pro-Obama. Whew!

I would say “fixed it for you”, but it still falls a bit short I think. Infinitely so in fact.

Well maybe Bush was just modest and asked the press corps not to stand when he entered the room.
