Poor Obama, he didn't expect anyone in the Liberal media to question him!

I think this is the funniest story I've heard in a while. Obama goes to visit his "buddies" in the Liberal media and one of them actually dares to ask him a tough question!!!!
And here's Obama's ACTUAL response:
"Ahh, see," he said, "I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here."

Pressed further by the Politico reporter about his Pentagon nominee, William J. Lynn III, Obama turned more serious, putting his hand on the reporter's shoulder and staring him in the eye.

"Alright, come on" he said, with obvious irritation in his voice. "We will be having a press conference at which time you can feel free to [ask] questions. Right now, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to you guys - that's all I was trying to do."

The president was quickly saved by a cameraman in the room who called out: “I’d like to say it one more time: ‘Mr. President.’ ”

LOL, Obama threatens not to visit with them anymore. Then some Liberal media guy saves the awkward moment by kissing some ass.
Hilarious....

or is it? I don't know, I read this over again and got that same feeling I did about how people regard this guy as some higher being or something. You know, I mean, he's always had a free ride in the media and the first time we get a glimpse that he didn't, and he gets angry when someone dares to challenge any part of his rule.
 
You figure the politico will hire a guy that runs a gay escort service to shoot softball questions at Obama?
 
it wasn't a press conference he just wanted to be nice and chill with them for a few minutes. he didn't have to be there.

Well right, but he can't assume they are all his buddies going to be friendly with him, of course someone could try and ask a question.

Would anyone have sympathized with Bush when Bush got asked questions unexpectedly? Of course not and rightly so.

If the wuss can't handle a simple unexpected question from a group that has been more friendly with him than any other political candidate than how is he going to be up for any real stress that will surely come later on?

In a way don't you think it's a little worrisome that he just assumed everyone in the media would be friendly with him? And you had to laugh at that kissass comment at the end where some media guy just wants to have another orgasm over getting to say "Mr. President".
 
I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised that the liberal media would ask Obama hard questions. They aren't Fox News which panders to politicians of their ilk.

Additionally, Obama has met with Fox and other right-wings "news" organizations but has snubbed the New York Times. He knows that much of his opposition will come from the left.
 
"Ahh, see," he said, "I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here."

That's the comment that you're fussing about?

Jeez....

He's laughing about it, he finds it funny that if Bush had said that exact same line there would have been five threads about how he wants to just be chums and what nicknames he used.

At least that is what I gather from what was written.
 
Damo, perhaps you missed this conclusion:

"he gets angry when someone dares to challenge any part of his rule. "

He's delusional.

Like Bush could have gotten that entire sentence out.
 
And just how many opportunities did Bush give the press in his first 4 years?
His keepers kept him well hid away.
 
I didn't realize this was written by Jonathan Martin. Here's some more Jonathan Martin for your pleasure:

John McCain opened up his Sedona cabin to a few dozen reporters Sunday afternoon, working the grill and showing off the picturesque property he and his wife, Cindy, use as their getaway.

As with all McCain events, it was entirely on the record. But McCain did his best to divert reporters from their notebooks and tape recorders by keeping their fingers amply greased with samples of the delectable ribs he was cooking.

When he wasn't focused on the flame, McCain proudly pointed out different parts of the ranch, nestled amid the red rocks region of his state, he has owned since 1984. Just across a swollen Mill Creek (due to runoff from the mountains in Flagstaff, he said) was an area they've developed into a prime birding zone. And while the creek has trout, the mill pond closer to the house is where the real action lies. Five times, McCain said, he's hooked the same lunker catfish and five times it's gotten off the hook.

McCain, sporting jeans and a sleeveless denim jacket over a sweatshirt with a silkscreened family picture, was plainly in his element, happy to be off the trail for a weekend and enjoying one of his favorite pastimes (grilling, not schmoozing with the press).

Besides the reporters, representing all the networks and major national publications, McCain was joined by a few loyal supporters, such as Sen. Lindsey Graham, former Sen. Phil Gramm and his wife, Wendy, and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and his wife, Mary Kaye.

Should McCain's cabin become the next Western White House, it will have similarities to, but also key differences from, George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Both are remote. The closest city to Crawford is Waco -- a half-hour drive. Sedona is even more far afield. There is one airstrip locally. To come on a commercial flight, though, one must drive up from Phoenix -- two hours to the south.

The key difference is that McCain's place lies in a resort-heavy area with all the requisite trimmings. One can be in the town of Sedona in a matter of minutes, where there are a variety of restaurants, shops and, yes, places to buy The New York Times. So while it's at the bottom of a long, rocky dirt road -- 4x4 highly recommended -- a latte is never far away.

Here's a video of the McCain BBQ with the "liberal" press:

if this was indeed solely a meet and greet and there was a scheduled press conference later that day or shortly thereafter, then meet and greet, not interview political stuff.

obama does have a history of snubbing and shunning news people who ask him or biden tough questions. and no doubt had this happened to bush the left would have been rabid, but it didn't happen to bush, at least as far as i know.
