Its a matter of time until before each presser that the press staff starts singing as did the skits the media played so often when the One was campaingning. This is one perverted group of liars, cheats, braindead people who don;t want to work but to live off the successes of other people. The media is dead and the Obama presidency is on the wane. May be when he is voted out of office he can work for Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to incite racism in America. He is good at it.

more adversarial tonight?

That’s like asking if the defensive line would run onto the field and sack their own quarterback.

Gimme a break.

These aren’t “news conferences”, these are infomercials. Jack LaLane Juicer, Ronkco “Set It And Forget It”Oven, The Swivel Sweeper, and The Obama HealthCare.

I’m sure the so-called professionals in the media are eager to ask Obama some tough, negative questions. Such as “what have you found most disenchanting in the six months since you Ascended?”

I say Michelle or Granny Clampett (or maybe “I’m Joe Biden!”) has a “health crisis” tonight or early tomorrow. It’ll turn out to be nothing, of course, but it is time to change the narrative!

Tapper or Garrett need to ask Obama why he continues to support Zelaya’s coup attempts in Honduras.

FloatingRock on July 22, 2009 at 6:18 PM

It would be pretty amazing if Obama didn’t get one question on Honduras. That would have to mean that every single question was approved ahead of time.

If he does get a Honduras question, expect him talk about how the “international community” were all in agreement and not explain his claim about how Honduras acted “illegally” or how that claim influenced the OAS and other internationals to fall in line.

A silver lining: Apparently our FOX affiliate isn’t going to carry the White House infomercial press conference, which means we get to watch So You Think You Can Dance.

so the choice is either “So you think you can dance?” or “Watch me dance”…

No way will I watch his latest dog & pony show – I get revolted just listening to the soundbites that make the newscasts, I couldn’t stomach a whole press conference.

I highly doubt that he’ll get tossed anything other than the usual softballs, and he’ll probably whiff on a few of those.

For that matter, so do bloggers on conference calls, even if they don’t realize it.

I checked the link you provided. It goes to this quote:

During the call, a blogger from Maine said he kept running into an Investors Business Daily article that claimed Section 102 of the House health legislation would outlaw private insurance. He asked: “Is this true? Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200 is passed?” President Obama replied: “You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about.”

What about that makes you think the blogger from Maine didnt realize s/he was asking a tough question? It referred to an article that (bogusly) was critical of the bill, and pointed to a specific section. That's pretty obviously going to be a tough question. Granted, Obama should have already heard about this kerfuffle and known how to talk it down (since it is, in fact, nonsense), but my reading shows a blogger trying to ask a tough question. How do you get anything else?
