Obama shafts the press

I'm kind of surprised no one mentioned it.
I saw it on Morning Joe.

(yes the link is for faux news but it's the first google result :p)

Kind of devious, if you ask me. There is a vid showing Gibbs trying to explain the situation

Shit, am I going to start liking Obama? I love it when the press cries like little entitled girls.

Hate to do it but have to.

:thumbsup: to Obama!

Good. IMO there's not much difference between these press people and the paparazzi who snap up skirt pics of Shittney, Whoris, and Blowhan.

I like that they wanted time away from the cameras to talk.
Good for them :thumbsup:

Yeah, kind of tough to have a secret meeting with Clinton when a mob of press folks follow your every move.

Solution: Toss them on a plane to Chicago. Pretend you are getting on the plane. Wave at the press during takeoff while standing on the runway laughing.

That's not very environmentally friendly.

Horse flies should have better comprehension, I think.

I may not be intelligent enough to speak with you (as was apparrant from another thread I created...)

But WTH are you talking about? :p

as to appear to the unsuspecting like total gibberish.

Hehe, let us hope, in that other thread, my intention was not to tell you to shut up, but to get you to think. I hope so especially considering I'm extremely dumb. You are, however, a rare breed because you have the courage to ask questions even with a potential snake in the grass somewhere. That means you asked me even suspecting I might bite.

A picture is worth a thousand words they say, so I thought of all those reporters swarming around Obama's ass like horse flies that should be able to guess they aren't landing long as long as the horse has a tale. A horse fly should expect what it gets. It's the price of being a horse fly.

"One veteran campaign reporter scolded, ?Right now it is a general election ? they?re treated the same way the president is. If the president goes bike riding, we go with him. If he goes out to dinner or goes to visit a friend three blocks up the road, we go with him in the motorcade, and that?s the expectation in the general election, and that?s the way with previous candidates?that?s the way it?s done. So why are we diverging from that?? she asked."

Oh f@ck you lady. You people and your Britney-chasing ilk are probably the biggest single part of the problem with politics in this country.

lol, they wanted a private converstion. When the rumors said they were meeting at Clinton's house, cameras ended up parked outside waiting for Obama to come out. Eventually the press found out they had been duped again with the location of the meeting. It shows that they really needed all that misdirection to get a private meeting.

With all the access the press has, they got spoiled. I doubt anyone outside of the press is going to change their opinion of Obama because of this.

Even the press is taking it well it seems.
