Did you learn anything about context in the past few days? Please try reading what I responded to. I responded to the poster saying that she couldn't handle anything but staged reporters and questions, so I responded with what I did. Makes complete sense.

Default Obama takes no questions at "FREEDOM OF PRESS ACT" signing.

I guess Sharron Angle is learning strategy from the loony left.

I'll give you an "A" for effort, but it was not a press conference.

Angle called a press conference. She invited people to a pool party and didn't have a pool. Ludicrous!

As for why this is a news story; it's highly unusual for a candidate for major office to regularly avoid the media as Angle has done and not even take one or two questions.

Obama Signs Unemployment Extension (http://apexnewsnetwork.com/25214/obama-signs-unemployment-extension-%E2%80%93-president-rushes-to-sign-off-on-unemployment-extension-bill/ - broken link)

It is now up to 123 weeks
WRONG WRONG LIE LIE WRONG WRONG LIE


The max is still 99 weeks. Unemployment has different tier levels meaning the amount of benefits you are eligible for varies based on when you were laid off and/or use up all your benefits. What was extended six months were the cut off dates for each tier level, but it did not expand the benefits beyond 99 weeks.

You are being redundant. Read your own link. Obama clealry stated that it was not a press conference. Obama is POTUS, not a candidate that is being questioned so that people know who the hell she is. Although we already know that she wants to get rid of unemployment and further deregulate the oil industry. Good choice Nevada.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. - An exasperated Barack Obama scurried away Monday from the toughest news conference of his campaign, telling reporters who kept shouting questions that he'd spent enough time on the grill.
"Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions," Obama, looking surprised, told shouting reporters as he fled the room.

Default Liberal media changes things around.

PEOPLE get your facts straight. The people she was trying to avoid if that was the case were liberals who changes the facts around, my guess they are for Harry Reid and want to make Angle look bad regardless of what she says. They can cut and change things around you know. Do you believe everything the Liberal put out there. Obama, Bush, liars. Everyone I know who is a liberal is a liar.

Oh yeah? It's not called an extension for nothing and you don't need 34 billion dollars to extend a deadline. The 34 billion is being used to PAY 6 more months worth of UE. Come on man, you actually think people are that stupid?
