Our president just doesn't want to give hard hitting interviews. The Washington press corps(e) is upset that 0bama has no time for questions from them, but 0bama’s campaign has assured the press that he’ll be taking tough questions from the local news media as he campaigns around the country.
The press corps is particularly upset with the Obama administration right now because Obama refuses to talk with them. Jake Tapper, no enemy to the Obama administration, wrote today that “President Obama hasn’t formally taken questions from the White House press corps in more than two months, while on the campaign trial in Iowa yesterday he made time for reporters from People Magazine and Entertainment tonight.” The last time Obama answered a question from the press? A reporter shouted a question to him after he signed an act on August 6 – and no, the reporter was not called racist by the press, since the reporter wasn’t conservative.
Obama is under the impression that he can simply ignore the press and they will continue to fete him. And to a certain extent, he’s correct. But they still have to do their job, and that requires his cooperation. If he continues to burn them, he may lose the only real asset he has left.

Did you pay any attention to those hardball questions? If so, how about telling us if the Fox News people would ask questions like those of the local media?

That was a tough interview and I think he only answered one question and got flirted with.
The reason 0bama stays away from the press is he is afraid they might ask him to comment on the economy, jobs, corruption, scandals, debt, deficits, taxes so instead he goes where they ask him what his favorite color is.
"......Obama is under the impression that he can simply ignore the press and they will continue to fete him......."
Obama's right. The old MSM can't abandon him now.
They had the chance to vet him, ask tough questions back in '08 but they chose to take the love-struck route.
People Magazine and Entertainment Tonight. Lol.
