Funny, I remember W giving plenty of interview and press conferences with hand-picked audiences. When he came here to Oregon, the secret service even abused some protesters and denied them freedom of speech, and the case is currently heading to the Supreme Court.

A softball interview is hardly new news, nor the worst ever...

Ugh. So sick of your incessant whining. It's why I rarely come on here anymore; it has reached the point of utter ridiculousness.
Sweet Jesus, imagine that, people who are sick of beggars and thieves. How dare they express it, don't you know that is their lord and savior President Barack Obama

I think you probably quit coming around here because it's increasingly difficult to defend BO while maintaining a straight face and a bit of dignity.

We all know that anything Obama does will lead to cristism, mostly unjustified, so give it a break. Go dig up a scandal, those really liven up discussion around here.
It only takes a teaspoon to dig up an Obama scandal.

There are hundreds of facilities in DC in which a crowd of a couple hundred can be accommodated. Part of the blame goes to Obama for the canceled chilrens program, though. Why? Because Obama repeatedly declined to give Matthew's/MSNBC an interview until the disastrous healthcare rollout killed his approval ratings with young adults. Once that occurred, the White House called Matthews and offered an interview conditioned on the location being a college campus with college students in attendance.

That narrows down the options in DC, although there are other universities here in DC that probably didn't have a conflict with a children's program.

BO and Matthews share the blame.

Nixon just happend to be the icebreaker. There have been far worse actions in the White House since Nixon. He may have been the first major screw up, but his screw ups pale in comparison to today. Keep it in perspective.

You just cover your eyes and ears and go listen to what faux news says and repeat it on here like a drone.
Did you notice that Obama bashed the GOP at every chance he got? A POTUS HE should be trying to bring both parties together, not widening the gap by blaming only one party for the mess this country is in. As a libertarian, I am fed up with BOTH the Dems and Reps BS.

Everyone has a responsibility to tell the truth. The truth is if you believe everything you hear in politics from either side then you are not very smart. Like the people you so wholly follow at faux news. I guess you believe they are completely honest saints who are unbiased and fair. And the republicans in congress. HAHAHAHAHA sit down please.
Stupid post of the day. He's the sitting potus, he's got it coming. He has lost credibility(if he ever had it). He has no integrity.

We all know there are problems with the Obamacare law. I wonder how it can be fixed if Democrats refuse to admit they are wrong about anything.

Oh and saying that it will help the majority of Americans?
