Not quite. I happened to be watching the broadcast and they cut out during Obama's response to the final question. Unless he took 20 minutes to answer that question, your statement is blatantly false.

Take it up with the editor of the article I linked to. Yoi can post comments there, just like you can here.

I watched it on MSNBC and they covered it up to the handshakes and back-slapping at the end

I thought he was very good - and he certainly had no need for a teleprompter which will no doubt bitterly disappoint many of his critics

And Fox News never slants their Inside Edition style infotainment to reflect conservative partisan politics?

And, though it was videotaped for all to see, and everyone in the room heard him reiterate his desire for bi-partisanship, let's see how long it takes for the GOP and their supporters to claim the exact opposite




Obama Takes Questions From House GOP

He reiterated numerous times that he wanted the healthcare discussion to be transparent, and put up on CSPAN. Still waiting.....

The major goal of the Republican party is the destruction of Barack Obama. If they have to bring the country down with him, so be it.

Here you go. I think you dropped your tinfoil hat.

The evidence does not suggest that to be the case.

Simply because Mr. Obama has said he wants to work with the opposition is no proof that he has or is willing to.

Show me where he has compromised and incorporated Republican Ideas?

There are some examples in the transcript from today's Q&A and also here:

I, too, was disappointed with the lack of transparency. He did address it today - apparently there were some logistical issues. Not defending it, just saying.
