PoPs, just as I said from the beginning, the left won't address the issue raised they attack a woman. There was also a male reporter, name unknown, that was questioning the propaganda minister.

I would hope that a wise white man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than any one else who hasn't lived that life.

I would have said the same if Cronkite or Murrow had done the same. So much for your invalid presumption.

It looks like to me that Obama can't think on his feet. Everything has to be reduced to papa and spoonfed before he gets it. ergo. Teleprompters, pre-staged questions etc.

You mean as opposed to W having every word he was supposed to say whispered in his ear by wireless transmission, with a bulge in his hip pocket giving away that fact of life?

Whatever the conspiracy theory may be. Barack Obama's issues seem to be right out there for all of us to see. While criticism of George Bush is not anythin that bothers me, i think the conspiracy theory is a little stupid based on the fact that he had so many verbal gaffes.

And you think these networks dont pre-stage their questions? Thats all they do, they skip those contentious questions that dont favor their agenda but posts those that do. THEY already know their answers, they want Those answers and Only those answers. They want the Iranian government's head on a plate and they were looking for validation from the Whitehouse.
Good thing even the american president knows the media is biased.

Again, Li, This wasn't a right winger accusing Obama it was one of their own.

spondulix. For crying out loud quit trying to justify everything Obama does by what you allege Bush did. Obama said he would be different.
Thomas isn't a Bush person so when she turns on the left it has credence. She knows better then you an I what is going on. It would be different if this were Rush or Hannity but it is far from it.
An example of media bias is simple. The press stands when Obama enters the room they NEVER did for Bush.

Pops, nice try but no cigar. Who shows up at these events: people who care about health care. The meeting is open to anyone, even those opposing Obama with tough questions. He picked people at random. IF you want your side to be heard, get them to show up at the meetings. I'd like to see Obama handle tough questioning. He is more than up to it and it would help address the concerns and propaganda of the right.
Don't whine that you didn't show up.

That is the biggest load of "road apples" you have deposited on this forum in a couple of days. Even Gibbs, the presidents press sec said at that briefing that the people at the meeting were there by INVITE only. Now if you think the the White House has/had absolutely no input into just who was invited than you are either totally naive or a bold face liar.
Don't even try to use "the school decided who to invite from the school population" because how do you than explain how 2 of the ones called on were members of a DEMOCRATIC organization and the third was a SEIC union member.
"The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America, which is a part of the Democratic National Committee. White House officials said that was a coincidence."

"Fighting back tears, Debby Smith, 53, told Obama of her kidney cancer and her inability to obtain health insurance or hold a job.
The president hugged her - she's a volunteer for his political operation - and called her "exhibit A" in an unsustainable system that is too expensive and complex for millions of Americans.
"We are going to try to find ways to help you immediately," he told Smith as hundreds looked on at a community college forum - and countless others watched on television. But the nation's long-term needs require a greater emphasis on preventive care and "cost-effective care," he said.
Smith, of Appalachia, Va., is a volunteer for Organizing for America, Obama's political operation within the Democratic National Committee. She obtained her ticket through the White House."
"including a member of the Service Employees International Union and a member of Health Care for America Now"

Organizing for America is a part of the Democratic National Committee.
