Obama didn't answer all questions. No president does. CNN reporter didn't have the decency of knowing his role and ignoring the rules of the room.
Obama answered all questions that were asked of him. Isn't that what I already said. What were the rules of the room during Trump's press conference?

Obama used to never let fox news ask questions in the beginning of his administration. And he once had a reporter from another organization literally chased off of the White house grounds.

Plus the press was always really nice to Obama, people don't want too seem racist for challenging the first black president (even though he's not black) .. Saturday night live was afraid to make fun of him other than once in a blue moon.

Obama is gone, Trump is president now. How about he hold more news conferences so the country knows what his plans are.

I agree. I think his pressers help him.

LOl. Yup. And it was worth it. because once the theatre started, it wasnt going to stop. I wished they had done a better job of getting hand counting because some people are STILL claiming there were fraud.

This was an actual press conference where Trump answered 17 questions, way more than Obama did at his press conferences.
What bull. By October 2010 Obama went through dozens of debates-3 against his GOP opponent. Within that time he held over 37 press conferences. 67 short question and answers sessions, 216 interviews, and 820 addresses or remarks.

Heres Obama's first press conference.....held in November. Unlike Trump who started in January. LOL. fun fact-he was already taking his intelligence briefings back then as well.

Trump had his first one in half a year, spent 5 minutes or so up there, and had his team answer more questions then he did.

The CNN reporter chose to interrupt and he got slapped down for being rude. No theater involved, just lack of any etiquette by Jim Acosta.
Please. He attacked CNN from the START. Go watch the start of his conference. The breitbart employee had a reserved seat, just so he could take a question about controlling the press.

When will we wake up?
Were folders stuffed with Trump's 'business plan' papers blank props? - SFGate
We are awake. They know that those who voted for them are not. They are so used to fooling the easily fooled that they try the same approach on thinking people. That's where it doesn't work for them and the short fingered vulgarian goes ballistic.

There will be many watching the birther-in-chief and his cohorts like a hawk and the press/media that gave him 3 billion dollars of free publicity to titillate a dumbed-down audience, will switch gears and quit the softball acquiescence bull-**** when they see it is more profitable to expose the treachery and smoke and mirror routine.
