President Obama Gets Angry at White House Press Corps


 obamafingerOur eloquent and gracious dear leader made a surprise visit to the White House press corps to show everyone how wonderful he was. But then something happened, a member of the press asked President Obama a tough question, a question that he didn’t like.

  We all know how H feels about tough questions from the one or two times he was asked a tough question on the campaign trail. H doesn’t like to be asked tough questions. We also know that H has been growing tired of all of the media attention that now surrounds him, so is it really surprising that he snapped today when someone had the audacity (of hope) to ask him a question.

President Obama made a surprise visit to the White House press corps Thursday night, but got agitated when he was faced with a substantive question.

Asked how he could reconcile a strict ban on lobbyists in his administration with a Deputy Defense Secretary nominee who lobbied for Raytheon, Obama interrupted with a knowing smile on his face.

“Ahh, see,” he said, “I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can’t end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I’m going to get grilled every time I come down here.”

 He threatens not to be their friend any more if they are going to grill him about the issues? This really is the fault of the media though. They befriended him and helped him win the presidency so now he feels as though they should be friendly and not question him. He is taken aback when they question the messiah.

 But the reporter pressed on and dear leader grew more agitated:

Alright, come on” he said, with obvious irritation in his voice. “We will be having a press conference at which time you can feel free to [ask] questions. Right now, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to you guys - that’s all I was trying to do

 In other words, no comment.

 President Obama was saved by a reporter who managed to change the subject by doing what Obama had expected in the first place- kissing his ass:

The president was quickly saved by a cameraman in the room who called out: “I’d like to say it one more time: ‘Mr. President.’

 A cameraman changes the subject by basically telling H how wonderful it sounds to call Barack Obama Mr. President. Now that is what President Obama had expected in the first place. Otherwise he wouldn’t have shown up.
