As much as I disagree with the Presidents views and policies,I don't blame him for shutting off a reporter trying to ask one question before he has answered the one asked.Reporters are notorious for inundating one person with 10 questions deliberately trying to confuse the issue.

Yea, I'm no Obama supporter, but I have to agree with JimBob on this one. But I would add it's about time we saw the love affair a majority of the media has had with Obama fade away. lol It's about time he got treated the same as the Presidents before him.

And Helen Thomas and him actually get along quite well. At least that's what and how I feel based on the repor (Sp) I've seen between them when I've watched snippets of video on newscasts...

I was just interested in his comment about freedom of speech and of freedom of expression when talking about Irainian disidents and the contrast with his comments about town hall meetings.

Disrupting meetings and drowning out the speakers isn't freedom of speech. It's a direct attack on it.

Well i am not a fan of Obama in no way, but he did very well in that situation. Way better than ol hillary does.

agreed, meetings are meant to be civil, by all sides.
