Thank you Sanrene.
It sure looked that way to me and I have never seen it happen quite like that before. I have seen many press conferences and typically, yes, Bush knew all their names, even assigned nicknames, but there always seemed a give and take of a reporter fighting for the spot. Obama definately spoke the reporters name on more than one occassion and then looked around to find that reporter. That just seems real strange and something I know too well the democrats are capable of teeing up for the messiah.

That's simple to answer...

-Rush "The Pig Man" Limbaugh has sucked their brains out with a straw
-They are treating this as if it is a football game because that is as far as their minds and conscience can stretch
-They have been programmed by Neocon propaganda
-They lack intelligence and insight and do not understand that they are spitting in the eye of someone with integrity that is actually attempting to turn this country around and bring it into the 21st Century
-Too egocentric to admit that The Bush Crime Family had evil intent and never came to govern, but to steal
-Belligerent and pissed that McCain didn't win so that no matter what good comes of Obama's Presidency, they will never give him the benefit of the doubt
-Mean spirited and certainly unpatriotic
-just downright stupid!

I'm sorry, I think you're wrong. He DID answer questions, & when he didn't know the answer, he said so...specifically, about pulling troops out of Aghanistan. By the way, did anyone see the Wall Street Post (I think that was the paper) ask him about A-Rod's steroid use? Weird question, & no one laughed!!!!!

Well, that is because you were so used to Bush's words of wisdom, honesty, superlative diction and command of the English language.

You know what is funny, is earlier I was thinking about the girl on that forum on MTV who asked Clinton if he wore boxers or briefs...and then that guy asked that question! I know, not even remotely like the boxers question, but I still had to laugh when he asked it. Actually, if I were a reporter, I think it would be fun to ask completely out of the ordinary questions, just to be different.

It is common knowledge that Bush held "staged" press conferences.. Oh that's right , I used the word knowledge which cannot be applied to a Bushie.

Bush gets a free pass from the White House press corps.

Speaking of superlative diction...tsk...tsk.
-The verdict is still out as to missing brains resulting from sucking suctions
-The opposite is NEOCOM PROPOGANDA (Definatley fits here)
-From the same poster that thinks American soldiers dying for him in Iraq received justice.
-That about says enough.
