Choreographed Question? HuffPo Gets Special Treatment at Obama Press Conference

Gawker: The Huffington Post came up with a great gimmick to get its blogger called on at today's press conference. And the White House came up with a great gimmick to look responsive to the people of Iran. Everybody wins.

Where do people get the idea that obama is articulate and intelligent?

I have NEVER witnessed ANY great articulation from this idiot, nor have I heard ANY intelligence come out of his mouth unless he’s getting it from his teleprompter….

You people have got to get off the koolaid…

Collins   June 23rd, 2009 - 2:49 pm

John…I totally agree. If he doesn’t speak at four words per minute or use his teleprompter, he stumbles, stutters, and appears to be struggling for air. It is a joke that the left thinks this guy is so articulate. How difficult is it to articulate four words a minute?

This is Obama’s bay of pigs. Talks big about freedom in Iran, then hides when things get nasty. It’s not up to him to accept Iran’s election results, when we are ready to overturn November’s election results before we lose everything !

Talk big all you like, whit mans pupet

The presidents face is getting lighter each day.He also looks more confused since with all the things getting thrown his way.

Alex   June 23rd, 2009 - 4:52 pm

I remember when Clinton got elected, it was a big moment of ‘change’, but even he was never treated this well. Seriously, this is bizarre.

He does look different. I think he’s learning how bad it is to be president.

MeObamaYouSucker   June 23rd, 2009 - 5:08 pm

He is learning that he is just another politician and not the Almighty King of the Realm like he has been led to believe by his cheering section, the liberal media outlets.

Pam   June 23rd, 2009 - 5:15 pm

HuffPo (you gotta be kidding, right?) Ok..the Man of Supreme Articulation speaks in 3 word bursts, stammers, is totally dysfunctional without a teleprompter and cannot stand up for FREEDOM.
He just waffles and uses words like “unjust acts” in regards to murder in the streets of Tehran.

Bill Airs   June 23rd, 2009 - 5:17 pm

I hope , just like you right wingers,that he only serve for four years.All you know is you hate Obama.
No clue about how Bush had run the economy in ground.Amongst other things,like starting an unnecessary war,while cutting taxes for the upper 10%.Almost 4 thousand of our young men and women killed for no reason.You can criticize Obama but when you ask the Republicans what is their plan for the economy,health care,ect.They don,t have one.
Let you get some Republican George Bush style of hope and change.Lets see how you like it.
I have had my say I am gone.For those who where getting ready to call me a bunch of names which is all you rethugs know how to do.
GFY.

Earth to “Bill Airs” G W Bush is NO LONGER President. Like obama said today “I am President”! Airs it is called “Bush Derangement Syndrome”! and it is suffered by many Libs! We are talking about your Boy Obama now Sucker! He is what you get from AFFIRMATIVE ACTION in Spades! The USA deserves alot better than this clan of South Chicago Machine Grifters..Michelle, Grandma, and ALL the Riff Raff Chicago transplants. The US is being SHAFTED by this AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FOOL!

Annabelle   June 23rd, 2009 - 6:19 pm

My dear “Bill Airs”. Why don’t you spell your commie hero’s name correctly – Bomber Bill Ayers.
When you get old enough to hold a full time job and are no longer being brainwashed by your marxist professors you will find that it IS the top 10% who employ you, not the lower 10%.

You can have all the “free” socialized medicine you can afford if you are willing to pay the 17% federal tax like the Brits do or 25% the Danish pay. Or the 15% the Canadians pay.

That is on top of your income tax and state and city sales taxes. Maybe that is why Bush wanted no part of Socialized Medicine.

Bush was not in charge of Fannie Mae or Freddy Mac that was handing out bad loans to low income people who could not pay them – that was Barney Fwank and Chris Dodd – both Democrats.

There you go Bill Airs (Ayers). Not a single name called. Anything else?

Roy   June 23rd, 2009 - 6:34 pm

Before you go crazy counting up a whole 4 thousand deaths by the republications, let’s not forget the 58,000+ in that little, pointless war the democrats started in a little country called Vietnam AND the 33,686 killed in the other little war the democrats started in Korea.

CDM   June 23rd, 2009 - 6:35 pm

I want $ for army, police, school (limit, please.)

Obama and Co. want $ for one neighborhood policeman, just legalize drugs and pay for therapy, govt. operated medicine , own cars industry and control fuels, govt. run banks (one big credit card for govt.)

Conservatives lost unwieldy bill battles (pork laden) and too much liberal junk has gotten through over last 40 years. Bankrupting country. Obama loves it.

Laffing at Leftists Morons   June 23rd, 2009 - 7:56 pm

HuffPo shouldn’t that be PuffHo? hahaha!!!

Obama what an empty suit this clown turned out to be, anyone surprised??

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   June 23rd, 2009 - 10:14 pm

America…well…well…well…the ultra-liberal Democratzi Huffington Post gets preferential treatment?

No…he would never do anything so biased!

Oh yes he would…oh yes he has and oh yes he will…because he knows “where his bread is buttered”…remember!

========================

JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC NEWS DAY IN THE ‘DICTATORSHIP’ OF BARRY HUSSEIN AND HIS LOVE FEST…PREVIOUSLY CALLED…PRESS CONFERENCES!

GiveMeLiberty   June 24th, 2009 - 10:05 am

Hey “Bill Airs”, how many times has BHO told us “we won”? Ten, twenty times??? You’re “blame Bush” mantra is getting old and doesn’t hold water anymore. Of course that won’t stop you from worshipping at the Nobama altar, but face it, your guy is nothing but a community organizer who is WAAAAAY over his head and hasn’t a clue on how to run this country. The fact that he’s inviting the Iranians for a bbq on OUR countrys birthday is proof enough. While the protesters are gunned down in the streets of Tehran, he wants to hold hands and eat hotdogs with the terrorists who kill their own people who are fighting for the freedoms YOUR president is consistently taking away from US!!! Nice try!!

Barack Hawk Down   June 24th, 2009 - 10:05 am

This is the most scripted White House EVER. Just the fact that he knows who he will call on ahead of time shows how planned this dog and pony show is.

Does anyone think ABC would challenge him on health care questions while they were sub-letting the White House? They would get the boot.

Hope Deferred   June 29th, 2009 - 8:02 pm

It is surprising to see that Obama has become so blatant in his displays of favoritism for the extreme leftist press. I suppose he knows he will need all the help he can get now that two nations have shown signs of rebellion against America’s enemies, Iran and now Honduras – both of which have the empty O’s support to continue to oppress their people. It seems all free thinking people on this planet now have an enemy – sitting in the White House.
