That IS said jokingly, right?

I do though agree about Congress.

Bloggers are a blessing and a curse. But you get my point....he's credentialed and should follow proper press decorum.

Perhaps....like a good reporter....this individual seized the opportunity to question Obama....knowing he would not get a chance....since the president was not going to take questions from the press.

Perhaps we are focusing on sematics here....what about the message and how it will impact the country....

Not at all, it was a brilliant move to get out ahead of Romney on that particular issue.

So.....are you saying you do not agree with the checks and balances that are suppose to prevent one person....or group ...from having to much power. This appears more like abuse of power to me.

I see what you may mean now. I took it as you approve of what Obummer did, not just expessing admiration that it was a clever trick. You don't have to tell me which way you are thinking, I don't need to know.

I hope not. That goes for any "reporter" regardless of who in in the WH.
