Our country DEPENDS upon a free press. That's what keeps this country free.

REMEMBER--The national news conference regarding the 787 Billion dollar stimulus bill that was needed because of the "Worst economic crisis of our time"--as stated by Barack Obama:

Quote:

HELEN THOMAS asked one of the most outrageous questions of the evening that had nothing to do with the economy or the stimulus bill: "Mr. President--do you believe that there are terrorists hiding along the Pakistani/Afgan border? This question turned into a National Joke-of her. Then there were other questions--one a 4 part question on what Barack Obama found enchanting about the White House. Obama spent several minutes answering these ridiculous questions.

I almost fell out of my chair over these questions, & was very disturbed by a sitting President taking the precious time to answer them in a time of economic crisis. Now we know that these questions were pre-selected by this administration. There is only one reason why this administration pre-selects these type questions. To avoid the tough questions. And what did we get? A 787 Billion dollar so-called-economic-stimulus-bill that was packed with political pay-offs, earmarks & pork.

So the next time you see Barack Obama in a town hall meeting or in front of cameras doing a news conference-You know now it's nothing more than a STAGED & REHEARSED performance.
