Helen's charges... just saying...

Exactly. That pretty much ends this laughable thread.

Would like to thank the posters here for showing that Obama can do NO WRONG, and that if he does we are to all look the other way and say nothing.

Well when the evidence blatantly contradicts everything laid out in the thread, I think its time to pack it in and try again.

Re: Even Helen Thomas is getting pissed

Don't even try and reason with someone who has an Obama avatar. He is obviously a worshiper of The Great Anointed One. Danny is fanatic.

Of course all the rest of you fanatics don't even see how Gibbs won't even answer the questions they were asking him. He was perverting what they were trying to say on a nonstop basis. You can't even say that there is no basis for this. It's straight from the horse's mouth for Pete's sake! There is no denying it.

As far as phugus's point, I agree with him. The Bush admin did tend to stonewall but at least that isn't dishonest. Maybe the Bush admin got some softball questions, preplanned, but at least they weren't all softball questions. It's no excuse for what he did but it's also no where near the degree that Nobama is doing.

I repeat, this is not baseless accusations. This is straight from the horse's mouth. Now crawl off to your Church of Obama services.

Re: Even Helen Thomas is getting pissed

Not only that guests are "invited" guests & their questions are sent in prior to these town hall meetings--so they can program Obama's teleprompter--BUT HAVE
you EVER NOTICED--that during a press conference FOLLOW UP questions by the same reporter are not allowed. Something that the press has complained about also.

Obama has been called out on this before--by calling on someone he cannot see in a crowded room by their name. He's calling on them--because he has their question--& has an answer for it--already programmed in his teleprompter.

Get Obama off of the teleprompter & he studders worse that G.W. Bush ever did.

The liberal denial on this board is fascinating.

Even denying this video & statement from the most ULTRA liberal White House press staffer ever! Right out of the mouth of HELEN THOMAS.

Obama's town hall meetings & press conferences are nothing more than a STAGED & REHEARSED performance, designed to keep the sheep from wandering off!

Idiotic charge, Bush wasnt criticised for studdering. He was criticised for blundering forth and saying stupid things - thus making America embarrassed and the world laughing.

Re Gibbs, please lets discuss some question that was answered, and why you think and in what way it shouldve been answered.

re staged managed performances, this has been dealth with. Obama and Gibbs both are recorded taking on tough questions from the press as I mentioned. Your problem is, you want the administration to lie down to you and they wont do it. Boo Hoo, get a life.

Good question. Interesting behavior from these zealots. And they said Hitler could never happen again.

Doesn't matter. When and if he runs out, he'll just play the race card.

Why do you guys always bitch and moan about transgressions from politicians from the other side, yet defend the idiots on your own side toothe and nail? Oh that's right, you have god on your side, so no matter what is being done by a republican it's gotta be divinely infallible. It's the same stupid dribble of theocracy.
wel you guys have satan on your side , isn't he stronger
