After falling poll numbers and crushing rebukes in Virginia and New Jersey in November, President Obama, the One, the gifted, the solver of all problems, the most electrifying man in sports entertainment…..oh, that was the Rock. Sorry.
Obama has shifted his treatment of the press (see, it’s the press’ fault Obama isn’t loved anymore).
“President Obama has of late avoided questions from the White House press corps at large, closing the Oval Office to traditionally informal question-and-answer sessions with reporters and pulling back from the fast pace of news conferences he established when taking office.” (Washington Times)
Obama’s last press conference? Remember the one where Obama went off script and wound up with a beer summit?
Cap and trade? – stalled. Health Care takeover? – headed for a showdown on covering abortion. Ending the War? – Giving a speech tonight about sending more troops.
Yeah, press conferences are the problem.
