Is this not a press conference?
Clip:
BS News Radio reporter Mark Knoller, the press corps' unofficial record-keeper, agrees that the July presser was the "last formal, prime-time White House news conference," but he points out that Obama did make a surprise appearance in the briefing room in February and took six questions. "I count that as a White House news conference," Knoller said, noting that other "news organizations seem to be ignoring that session so they can report he hasn't held a news conference since last July."

After his last news conference where he created a controversy, it is no wonder his handlers have kept him away.
No kidding, and the press corpse has increasing been unamused by his disregard for them, and his non-transparent and open administration.
You know this means 0bama has been studying his rhetorical non-answer answers for weeks now. So he can probably give long winded nothing-answers to any conceivable question out there.
It's been over a year now, I wonder if 0bama will be asked again about what "enchants" him?
At this point, I don't really care if he talks or not. Obama has not proven to me that he's good for his word. He's only proven that he's a gifted orator. I'd almost prefer that he lay low and concentrate on the difficult task of governing - which has grown exponentially more difficult due to his own naivete and inexperience.
But if he insists on giving a press conference, I don't want to hear double-talking jive. I want to hear results-oriented action.
I don't know, maybe he was reading stuff like this from last July, and thought he was getting, um, a little over-exposed.
Obama is overexposed - he takes every opportunity to stage a media event. That is why his last 2 presser and the pseudo TH on HC were not watched - people grow weary of his empty rhetoric.
Oh my! DC, who would ever have written those words???
Can he ever answer a question in a succinct, timely manner?
Oh, my. The President just said that he takes FULL responsibility for any/all mistakes that may have been made responding to the oil spill. However are the rightists going to spin this?

He did?
I didn't hear that. I heard the old dog of the bush administration is to blame.
I firmly believe he stretches his answers out way beyond tolerance to cut into the time for questions.
And a few short months ago you hypocritical rightists were whining and whining because Obama was all over, on TV, giving speeches .
Some of you wanted him to shut up.
YOU were sick of seeing him, he was CAMPAIGNING, he was ego-centric...he was explaining things!
NOW you claim ........????......
I'm glad I decided to scroll down to your post instead of following my first instinct
to reply to the OP immediately, you took the words right off of my fingertips!
And if you saw him walking down the street and didn't know who he was YOU would call him "BLACK"...or probably the Rightists offical term for blacks ....
Yet you know hes half white correct and still calling him only black.
