FOX didn't cover Obama's press conference...
so Obama didn't answer FOX reporter's questions at the new conference.
Today, FOX is whining about it on their network, that Obam snubbed them.
Discuss.
-
"fox news" just trying to get air time.
another bullshit distraction.
-
the one today? or the 100 day one? i was watching the 100 day one and saw some of his conference today on FOX

FOX primetime chose not to cover it last night. idol, baby!
-
So, the questions he answered were hand picked anyway. Do you actually think he's going to get hard questions from entertainment reporters? Dudes a complete joke.

lol....I guess George W. welcomed all questions huh?

According to Coach, G.Dubyah was a great president.

They had it on two other Fox stations. A President doesn't need the entire airway for every speech.

FOX primetime chose not to cover it last night. idol, baby!
Obamas conferences are a waste of time since he does not answer questions and Fox made a smart business move.

Here is the truth :
http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/04/fox-rejects-obamas-request-for-airtime.html
"Fox has issued a statement saying it will air regular programming (detective drama Lie to Me) Wednesday night instead of Obama's 100-day news conference.
"The Fox Broadcasting Company will not air the Presidential News Conference," Fox said in a statement. "Fox's sister networks, Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network, will air the press conference in its entirety. Fox will be alerting viewers with an onscreen graphic at the top of the 8:00 PM (ET) hour that the press conference is available on Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network.

How about going back and comparing the questions asked to Bush as compared to the questions asked to Obama. I don't recall a question ever asked to Bush if he was ever "enchanted" by something.

He did learn that Putin was a good man by "looking into his eyes and seeing his soul".
-

do you have any source to back up this claim? I can't find anything to confirm this.
speaking of "entertainment reporters", I wonder why Obama didn't take a question from man-whore and "station chief" Jeff Gannon from Talon News
-
Come on, anyone with an ounce of integrity can admit he gets softball questions from an adoring media.
-
hahahaha the gannon cannon!
I never really paid attention to this story, because hey, I don't care if a guy wants to buddy around with a man-whore. It's his business.
But gannon did get to call out questions such as "How can you remain so brave and muscular despite all the liberal bashing you receive?"
-
Come on, anyone with an ounce of integrity can admit he gets softball questions from an adoring media.
um, the March 24 interview.
FOX reporter asked about the one-world currency, which fueld a lot of loony CTers.
(Wait, doubting the official story on anything since Jan 21st is no *patriotic*.... gotcha...)
-
When Obama claims that he really doesnt want to expand government, and he would prefer to keep it streamlined,why dont the reporters roar with laughter?The guy wants a government takeover of healthcare,wants to nationalise education and wants to dictate how much energy you can use,what kinds and how much you will pay for it.That would add up to the largest expansion of government in the history of this country.He and his retard vice president are liars!

Were talking about eh press conferences by and large are love fests. And the currency questions was because Geithner adressed it himself as part of the G20 and other mentions of it in the news.

yeah - here are a couple of perfect examples of the "softballs":
Thank you, Mr. President. You've said in the past that waterboarding, in your opinion, is torture. Torture is a violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Do you believe that the previous administration sanctioned torture?
Thank you, sir. Let me follow up, if I may, on Jake's question. Did you read the documents recently referred to by former Vice President Cheney and others saying that the use of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques not only protected the nation but saved lives?
Thank you, Mr. President. I want to move to Pakistan. Pakistan appears to be at war with the Taliban inside their own country. Can you reassure the American people that if necessary America could secure Pakistan's nuclear arsenal and keep it from getting into the Taliban's hands or, worst-case scenario, even Al Qaeda's hands?
Thank you, Mr. President. One of the biggest changes you've made in the first 100 days regarding foreign policy has had to do with Iraq. But do the large-scale — there's large-scale violence there right now. Does that affect the U.S. strategy at all for withdrawal? And could it affect the timetable that you've set out for troops?

Those are easy open ended questions he has canned answers to.
-

Only would a redneck, high school educated, trax palin look alike like Coach would call a man with 1000x the brain capacity as him a "complete joke"... Its like saying Michael Jordan was a complete Joke on the court..
-
Those are easy open ended questions he has canned answers to.
they don't look easy to me
open ended? would you prefer he do simplistic "yes and no" questions
honestly, I can't help but notice that from your point of view Obama can't do anything right.
-

333386 was pissed that Obama's kids aren't goin to public school.
Even HH6, who can't stand Barry, admits that from a securituy standpoint, it's impossible to send th First Kids to public school.
When I saw 333386 complain about the kids attending private school, I realized he's the kinda cat who will bitch about anything. Obama could cure cancer, and 33 would complain that he hasn't done enough for heart disease.

Yes he can, but he wont.
Nationalizing car companies is a bad thing to do.
Nationalizing AIG was a bad thing to do
Spending us into debt slavery is a bad thing to do.
Imposing new energy taxes is a bad thing to do.
Etc etc etc.

No, I was upset that he is ending the voucher program for parents who like the program who cant afford sidwell friends.
Stop lying about what I said.

Yeah, I am paranoid because I dont like nationalization of failed businesses and AIG.
Ok Chief.
-

That is because Bush wouldn't have understood a big word like "enchanting".

Bush was a disgrace and yes, a moron.
It took me awhile to admit it, but the liberals were right, the man is a fool beyond all measure.

Ok Chief.
333 - are you familiar with the lessor of two evils. These are not easy choices and your alternatives could be MUCH worse.
I'm not familiar with this voucher thing you say Obama has ended. Can you tell me more. It sounds like you're advocating socialism but I don't know the details so maybe you can fill me in.
-
How about explaining why he is wrong instead of simply dismissing his comments?
Because wev been through this wiith him 10000 times. He doesnt use rational thinking with anything... he keeps repeating Fixed News talking points... Even when hes proved wrong with facts, he refuses to admit it...
-

This coming from someone hooked on the talking points of MSNBC, the red-headed stepchild of cable news.
Let's see if, tonight, Keith Olbermann puts the man, who's been beating his behind for years, on his "Worst Persons in the World" list.

Doomed!

Cure cancer?What has this man done in his first 100 days other then spend trillions?What has he done and whats it accomplished.The answer is he has done a lot of spending and its accomplished NOTHING!!!!Cure cancer?How about trying not to waste our money flying his pizza maker in to make him a pie?
-

Fox also didn't carry a GWB press conference sometime after 911. Its money folks. Plus the other 2 Fox's carried it. The other networks are grumbling just the same. Their news products don't make them the money, its the shows.

So Fox didn't air, but Fox News and the Fox Business channel did? What's to complain about??
-
Well "Busted" seeing what he's done so far with his decisions and andministration picks, his completely twisted enterpretation of the constitution and the FACT he can't do anything with the use of a telepropter (or the 12 he brought to europe with him) tells me and alot of people he's not particularly bright.
-
But he can say um alot and apologize for the United States as well...in fact the bigger the leftist scumbag he meets, the bigger the apology.
-
;D
-
Yeah, I am paranoid because I dont like nationalization of failed businesses and AIG.
Ok Chief.
99.9% of the crap you post is almost written word for word from Fox news...
-
Did somebody from Fox News steal ur lunch money.
-
Busted, of all the people to post on this board, you are the last one who should be knocking other peoples posts. Not only is 100% of what you post here lame and logically incomprehensible, but your comedic holier than thou attitude toward people who call you out on your nonsense is childlike if not borderline retarded. Instead of flexing your arms for your avatar, why don't you try picking up a book?

That's total pwnage right there.... :o

;D
Haahahahaha! That's really funny. ;D
-

What specifically have I posted that is crap???
I asked you what "lies" I told and you could not name one specifically.
You cant debate an issue and resort to immature attacks that reflect far more on you than on myself.
BTW, how would you know what is said on Fox News if you claim to never watch it????
-
;D
takes a lot of balls to post that after Bush
-
Bush flailed along all by himself...whats worse.

The one who can't talk without cue cards.
he handily defeated the machines known as hilary and mccain in many debates without cue cards. Was it 20 debates with Hilary? Plus 22 months of nonstop reporter Qs, about 15 hours per day.
Lots of "uhs" and an occasional "57 states". But he sure did win, didn't he?

No he didn't. He was average to bad in pretty much every debate I watched. His strength is giving a prepared, choreographed speech. At that, he is a master.
-
No he didn't. He was average to bad in pretty much every debate I watched. His strength is giving a prepared, choreographed speech. At that, he is a master.
yes, he actually did win the election.

Really? ::) I was responding to your claim that Obama handily won all debates.
-
No he didn't. He was average to bad in pretty much every debate I watched. His strength is giving a prepared, choreographed speech. At that, he is a master.
You are out of your mind.

lol....I guess George W. welcomed all questions huh?
Yes, He almost knew what the "white of an egg was called"!!!??? :-\
-
You are out of your mind.
Depends on who you talk to. :)
-
Come on, anyone with an ounce of integrity can admit he gets softball questions from an adoring media.
first of all, ALL new presidents get softball questions at first...this is so they don't piss him off and he will call on them in the future...
second it's hard to give hard ball questions to someone when there is nothing to blame him for...he INHERITED all these problems
-
Those are easy open ended questions he has canned answers to.
okay genius..so what would YOU ask him?> ???
-
Cure cancer?What has this man done in his first 100 days other then spend trillions?What has he done and whats it accomplished.The answer is he has done a lot of spending and its accomplished NOTHING!!!!Cure cancer?How about trying not to waste our money flying his pizza maker in to make him a pie?
exactly what did you expect for him to accomplish in just 100 days???.....you're nuts

Pretty simple.....Mr President, despite pledges during the campaign to get NATO to commit more forces to Afghanistan, they have decided to pay lip service to their commitments with support troops. This leaves the US and to a lesser extent Britain responsible for driving out the "resurgent" Taliban and AQ forces. How do u now propose to get Nato to live up to its repsonsibilities, as u layed out in the campaign?
Sir, u have said many times during and after the campain that the US and her allies will not stomach a nuclear Iran going so far as to say "Now, Iran's leaders must choose whether they will try to build a weapon or build a better future for their people. What is the US prepared to do if they choose the former?
As a follow up, will the US support Israel in a unilateral strike against Iran. Will it allow overflight of Iraqi airspace, which the US owns as part of the SOFA with Iraq?
Sir, it would appear that your administration is now open to continuing or restarting the military tribunals for Gitmo detainee's despite a stance during the campaign that said "the commissions had been an enormous failure and "I reject the Military Commissions Act". Would u say that u were too hasty in ur judgement of the tribunals and if so, perhaps too hasty in closing gitmo itself.
How about that...not bad for 10 minutes...no gotcha's, no softballs..real questions based on Obama policy, quotes or actions.

No sense asking this question..we all know the Europeans are wimps who will not fight for their own mothers...this was hopeless from the start..saying the above won't help the situation any...we are lucky we got the upport troops which I suspect was our fallback position from the start...we actually got what we expected, which was better than nothing...
Sir, u have said many times during and after the campain that the US and her allies will not stomach a nuclear Iran going so far as to say "Now, Iran's leaders must choose whether they will try to build a weapon or build a better future for their people. What is the US prepared to do if they choose the former?
it would not be wise to answer this question right now while we are in the midst of two wars already...but I'm sure the Iranians know what will do...just look at Iraq
As a follow up, will the US support Israel in a unilateral strike against Iran. Will it allow overflight of Iraqi airspace, which the US owns as part of the SOFA with Iraq?
Of course we will...but again no point to coming out and saying that...and also, the U.S. can't give Israel permission to use Iraqi airspace...the Iraqi goverment controls that now
Sir, it would appear that your administration is now open to continuing or restarting the military tribunals for Gitmo detainee's despite a stance during the campaign that said "the commissions had been an enormous failure and "I reject the Military Commissions Act". Would u say that u were too hasty in ur judgement of the tribunals and if so, perhaps too hasty in closing gitmo itself.
okay, you might have him on this one...but as president (and king of the world, practically) he can decide to change his mind upon further information...what more do you want from the guy?
How about that...not bad for 10 minutes...no gotcha's, no softballs..real questions based on Obama policy, quotes or actions.
okay I'll give you your props..good questions all in all....but the questions he got at the news conference were tough as well....
-
Just enough to bounce him in 2012.
ya think the repubs will get their shit together by then, and have a decent candidate?
or will it be palin and jindal, live on FOX from the Reagan Library, arguing about who loves God more?
-
seems like HH6 wants more war. Why ask questions on what would you do if...? That's grade school shit. Shit hasn't even happened yet and this clown wants answers for the hypothetical. This moron shouldn't even be allowed to fucking vote. Go to the middle east and start your own war buddy.
240 owns him and his cronies at EVERY turn with hardcore facts and he still doesn't get it. Unreal man.
-
First off u couldn't answer those questions..not even close. Obama can't answer em either. More war, where....
Obama promised to get NATO to send more combat troops..utter failure.
Obama has said he won't except a nuclear Iran...but what will he do to stop it...more failed UN resolutions?
I guess u didn't want to touch the military commissions act that Barry is restarting after he said he rejected it huh?
Andresman...we control Iraqi airspace according to the SOFA so we could allow Israel use of it. Iraq does not have the capacity to defend her airspace as of yet. We control it because of medivac and offensive operations that the US conducts. We can't however launch those operations without Iraq signing off on it. Israel overflight would not constitute a violation of that, even though the Iraqi's might flip out, but then they aren't crazy about iran either.
Ah Windsor88..I'm headed to Iraq in november for trip number 3....hope that helps.

LOL ;D
According to Coach, G.Dubyah was a great president.
That's expected. Coach is a radical right-wing nutjob.
