Obama Turns His back On the Press (NY Times 5/19/10)

At a ceremony to sign a bill promoting press freedom around the world on Monday, President Obama refused to take questions from reporters. “I’m not doing a press conference today,” he told Chip Reid of CBS News, “but we’ll be seeing you guys during the course of the week.”

So when the president hosted a “news conference” in the Rose Garden with the president of Mexico on Wednesday, Mr. Reid thought maybe this time Mr. Obama would take questions. Instead, Mr. Obama allowed only a single question from the American news media, calling on a reporter from the New York-based Univision, making it unlikely that he would be asked about Tuesday’s anti-incumbent election results.

Sure enough, Mr. Obama was asked about the Arizona law aimed at stopping illegal immigrants, a law he had already denounced in his opening remarks and was happy to denounce again in response to the question. He did not have to offer his thoughts on the loss of an ally, Senator Arlen Specter, in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary, or on any other topic.

As the event ended and Mr. Obama swiveled to head back into the Oval Office, Mr. Reid tried again and shouted out a question about the elections.

Mr. Obama ignored him. Maybe he meant later in course of the week.

Note to the media: Obama is just not that into you. It's time for you to dump him.

How many times does he have to through the press under the bus for the message to penetrate. Obama used you, MSM. You praised him, courted him, slammed his opponents, rammed him down the throats of Americans, and got you selected POTUS. The NY Times, in particular, sang Obama's praises to the heavens, while daily printing misleading garbage about Hillary Clinton. Now, Obama won't give the press the time of day.
