Anyone know why Obama decided to call on the American Pravda (AP) whore first?

[Doctor_J]

"Oooooohhhh. You're going to make this much worse by making it sound so grave."

Obama: What do you want me to say? That the fundamentals of the economy are strong? How the hell did you get in here?

1. That was seriously a stupid question on her part.

[Doctor_J]

2. Stupid? No. Leading and freeperish? Yes

[Danger Mouse]

7. Correction. Leading and freeperish.

:)

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. So that his first act could be to tear it down.

He's not stupid.

Knowing he'd get a stupid fucking question, he called on 'em first, and then sent the message, "Anyone else asks a stupid fucking question, and I'll tear you a new asshole, intellectually and rhetorically speaking"

8. Why didn't he do that with the stupid steroid question?

4. He is confident. If he wasn't confident, competent and intelligent he probably wouldn't do that.

5. Wire services always goes first.

And the Reuters lady asked a stupid question about Iran, of all things.

9. Back before the Moonies killed UPI, the honor rotated...

...orignally between UP, AP, Hearst/INS

[Thrill]

6. They are use to being lied too. So she would rather he lie about the situation

[Uzybone]

10. She has been first in all the pressers Ive seen

It didn't surprise me.

11. It was entertaining to watch EVERYONE deny there was a recession during late 2008.

It's an unspoken rule that you don't use the "r" word until the economy has been there a month or more.

I guess it's about not wanting to upset the markets...

12. Who gives a shit?
