In regards to the thread though. This needs to be said. I didn't see any of you have yet posted complaining about Bush's stonewalling the press, and preselecting reporters, to include using a former prostitute to seed favorable softball questions in press conferences. So in regards to CharlesDavenport's and Oreo's objections, I wish you guys would seriously stay consitent on these types of issues. They are important, and Obama is certainly doing wrong. The issue I have with you guys bitching about it, is that your previous behavior seems to point toward the fact you don't have an issue with the President manipulating the press, you have an issue with a Democratic President manipulating the press...
Reflex number one - If really obvious, then find something relating to Bush to mitigate...
