What a wonderful distraction.
And that's exactly what this was...a WH distraction.

I'm not an Obama supporter, but even I can figure out that Obama can't be that stupid to go up against a 24/7 news powerhouse.

It concerns me why Obama and the WH would make that kind of decision to do that, with all the issues that face the WH these days.

It makes me want to continue questioning their judgement in Washington.

It's just a list. A list of distractions to be used at a later date to lay blame for failure.

Remember all those things that candidate promised in his campaign? All those things that candidate never did? All those things that candidate tried but failed? Why the failure?

Remember the distractions?....see the list, that list of excuses.

A sand castle isn't carved from a large pile of sand. It's built one scoop of sand at a time.

Like sands thru an hour glass... so are the Days of Our Lives


Just had to put that in.

Nixsonian?

Petty, vindictive and politically immature. Judging by the way he is behaving, if I did not know better I would think 0bama was elected as a high school student body president. God help us when these petty, self centered, narcissists start conducting important foreign policy decisions.

I'm not an Obama supporter, either, but look on the bright side. At least this WH distraction wasn't to go bomb some pharmaceutical factory.

Yeah but since FOX went to court and got a ruling that they are NOT a News Agency, The White House is within the law to exclude them

Touche'. But if it was an distraction, then from what? Who is reporting the news anymore?

But White House officials said they were happy to have at least started a public debate about Fox. (From NYT).
Now we are at each other's throats more than ever, thanks Obama!!
