ORIGINAL: Sanity You're claiming that there is one particular person Bush didn't call on - well, okay, whatever. I doubt it, but let's say for the sake of argument that it is true. First of all, that wouldn't really be a big deal in my book, giving one particular ass the cold shoulder. But second, does it make you proud that Barack Obama is doing Bush one better in that regard by (apparently) planting all of his questions beforehand? Or were you hoping for some positive change from this president. quote:
ORIGINAL: DomKen Bullshit. Bush didn't take a single question from the senior member of the White House press corp for 3 years and documents are available showing that it was a planned avoidance of her questions. And lets not forget the whole Gannon affair. No, you are misrepresenting the situation. Bush refused to take questions from the senior White House correspondent, traditionally given the first question at all press conferences, and planted a fake reporter in the press corp. Obama had a town hall where he was asked questions by supporters. Since Obama has taken questions from FNC and the Washington Times during his actual press conferences there is no basis for comparison.
