Not answering questions about the Afghanistan situation might be OK under the circumstances - but he said he was INSTRUCTED to not take questions. He's the boss - he's not supposed to take orders from anyone. That's the issue. And just a day or two ago, he said he was INSTRUCTED to call on the NBC reporter. That's not kosher.

Without the hurricane, ducking questions everytime he's behind the podium is indeed a problem.

Ducking questions, doing as he was "instructed" and disrespecting the families during the Dignified Transfer by looking at his watch. I'm over him.

Well -- he WAS in a strange place, so I suppose he gets a pass on that one. Can't say that about him wandering around the White House lawn a few days ago though.

That sums it up perfectly. He is being led around on a leash. This is elder abuse.

It would be like taking questions about the hurricane at the Dignified Transfer Ceremony -- not the right time.
That absolutely is the right time for a question about something of national importance. A presser on a hurricane and the Dignified Transfer Ceremony are two very, very different things.

Just be glad he didn't use a sharpie and change the course.
Oh, indeed. Tell Ida to veer back into the Gulf, yet. He's the president - he can make the weather whatever he wants it to be - with the stroke of a pen (or sharpie)!!!

Why is this behavior a surprise to anyone? He hid in a bunker for the entire 6 months leading up to the election.

Did people not see this coming? He's actually doing a little better of a job than I expected him to do (that's not saying much).

He actually said he wasn't taking questions on Ghanistan. Just a stutter though.
