Video: Strangely enough, Gibbs doesn’t want to talk about Obama’s “teabagger” quote

At least Bush had the courage to hold a press conference. And did so knowing morons like David Gregory would badger him over and over again about whether “he ever made a mistake”.

Something no one would ever ask the perfect president holding office now, who does nothing but make mistakes.

The striking similarity of this sudden removal of journalistic access to the President to the refusal of the autocratic bureaucrats of Soviet Union to allow people to see leaders suddenly struck incompetent by life-threatening illnesses has already been remarked upon by many Americans. The difference here, of course, is that serious questions about the basic ability of George W. Bush to command the White House have been raised ever since he announced his candidacy, and have never been put to rest. The President’s refusal to answer the questions of reporters while cameras are rolling will only intensify the questions that the American people have been struggling with since his inauguration.

Why is President Bush afraid of holding public question and answer sessions? Are Bush’s handlers just afraid that he’ll make a mistake, or is there something more to it? Is Bush really in control in the White House, or is he just a figurehead? If he isn’t in control, who is – the Vice President, or some other unknown person or organization? If Bush’s wealthy campaign contributors can have personal access to the White House, how come ordinary Americans can’t even see the President on television in a live press conference once a month? How will the American people ever know what’s really going on in the White House if the President won’t hold a press conference?
