Duck-and-Run Obama

By Floyd and Mary Beth Brown,Expose Obama

No Questions Please!

President Obama’s athletic prowess is becoming a real advantage in office as he recently has taken the duck-and -run approach to the media. Instead of defending himself in front of the open microphone,he is dispatching his cronies to defend his policy positions. Our commander-in-chief isn’t living up to his campaign promise of presidential access and transparency.

Obama hasn’t held a formal press conference since July 22. At that event he infamously gaffed that Cambridge Police had acted stupidly when confronting Professor Henry Louis Gates,Jr. at his home. Since that time,Obama has avoided off-the-cuff question and answer sessions,preferring to rely on his teleprompter for scripted remarks. On his recent trip to Asia,Obama limited questions at his joint press

conferences to one each from a U.S. reporter and a foreign journalist. At his “joint press statement” with Chinese President Hu Jintao,no questions were allowed.

This is all shocking given the hyperbole that was spewed during the campaign from the media,who referred to Obama as the ‘Great Communicator.’ While the press were admiring Obama’s rhetorical skills,behind the scenes,handlers were scripting all events and carefully controlling the message.

Rather than running one of the most open and transparent administrations ever,team Obama is running one of the most disingenuous and scripted. As White House Communications Director Anita Dunn boasted,“We controlled the media coverage of the campaign.”

Obama is running a charade. If he were genuine about what he is trying to accomplish,he would not be so afraid to face tough questions. Obama fears that if he makes himself available to the press,he will make another blooper and be caught in his lies.

This past week,Obama proved himself again to be a liar. After pointedly declaring in his speech to the joint session of Congress that “my plan will not include taxpayer funding of abortion,” Obama lobbied Congress in support of abortion funding in the health reform bill. His administration has even lobbied against the pro-life amendments to these bills. Obama’s spokesman Robert Gibbs argued that these health bills are not the president’s,therefore “his plan does not include taxpayer funding of abortion.” This is a laughable explanation at best,and one that Obama clearly does not want to say himself. Therefore he is avoiding a press conference like the plague.

The American people are catching on and it is one reason why his approval rating is down to 47 percent in the most recent Gallup poll.

After his speech on Afghanistan left many questions unanswered,team Obama dispatched aides including Defense Secretary Gates,Admiral Mullen,Secretary of State Clinton and many others to explain what Obama meant to say in his speech. In his speech,Obama stated that we would withdraw from Afghanistan in July,2011. His advisors are back-tracking for him and have since clarified that he didn’t really mean what he said. Advisors clarified versions reads:We will examine the conditions and may begin drawing down our troop levels,not begin a withdrawal then. Obama himself has remained mum on the subject after the speech. Great Communicators don’t usually make vague pronouncements and let their subordinates clumsily explain the details,but that is exactly what Obama is doing.

Obama even recently closed from the media a meeting with federal employees to discuss transparency and public information requests. His underlings have also held high-profile negotiations with pharmaceutical companies behind closed doors,even though he promised during the campaign that he would televise meetings like these on CSPAN.

The Obama White House has become like a bad reality TV show. Obama is maintaining his appearance of celebrity and his face is everywhere,but at the same time he is refusing to answer tough questions from reporters. Obama is just a performer dressed as President of the United States.

    The only transparent thing about Obama is that he hates this country and is on his way to distroying it.

      Michele go to youtube and click on Fema camps and you will see that obama is going to declare marshall law after he signs health care bill also look at those huge caskets on there who do you think they are going to put in these big caskets everyone who disagrees with obama I Believe obama may be the antichrist if not he is the forerunner for him can you all not see how wicked obama looks satan put him here in USA to tear us down and make our Constitution be no good and our dollar be no good That is what obama and bernanke is trying to do is make the dollar go away so they can control new currency and the USA be out of debt if dollar fails wake up you people who put this evil man in office

  • This is exactly why I have been referriing to Obama as Mr. Silly Putty for two years,because he was put together by the Liberal power players and told what to say,when to say it and how to maniplate the facts to the advantage of the Party,particularly the Liberal branch. When I told people this,they scoffed and elaborated on how brilliant he was. I told them they were fools and would see the day when this "brilliance"would dull and then fade. I grew up around cons and can spot one a mile away. I am not alone,many people saw through this smoke screen,not enough to make a difference,however. Now,how do we go about fixing a disaster before we all go down the tube? Someone had better come up with a solution and Congress is not the answer.

    OBAMA One Bad A$$ Mistake,America

  • This is why I have been referring to Obama as Mr. Silly Putty for two years,because he was put together by the Liberal power players,told what to say and do,and then he would be swept into office. It worked like a charm and he has been bluffing ever since. Obama is so far over his head that I would imagine he will retreat even further from public view. We still know so little about his background that it almost as if we have a shadow person in charge of our very future. I wonder how many Americans would turn their very lives over to their children right now and feel secure? What if your four year old was telling you what to do? Think about it,I have.

    The Great Communicator was Ronald Reagan who not only didn't need a teleprompter to give standing ovation quality speeches,but most often wrote all of his own speeches for himself! After townhalls and T,E.A. Parties galore attended by multiple millions of American citizens,then 7 MILLION pink slips sent to the House/Senate and the fax as well as 'phone lines to Capitol Hill having practically been burned down by outraged voters throughout the past year since the Usurper (where's the valid birth certificate proving native born citizenship required by our Constitution?) took office because we're all fed up with not being heard and heeded as the voice of We the People –you would think that would be enough to get the Occupant of the Oval Office and his DNC comrades to shift course and stop dismantling the Founders'vision immediately. Instead,we are likely to see the biggest shift to the right in the House/Senate next election day since Gingrich led the Republican take-over in the nineties…! Next presidential election,it's GOING to be the anyone-BUT-Obama campaign year!

    • Faith HOPE

    This should be no surprise! Any mature individual could observe these negative indicators….. his suspect history,lack of experience,Senate voting record,ACORN Community organizer,anti USA associations,his book &Muslim allegiance,Chicago politics,and the constant lies. All obvious from the time the DNC placed him on the ballot. Unfortunately,as my beloved father said "All the man made trouble in the world can be attributed to GREED &IGNORANCE,and a combination of the two foretell a disaster".
    This past election,again,verified Dad's comment…i.e. the BO voters!! Let's hope,reality,common sense and the obvious inspires the voters to make an
    intelligent "Change(s)"next Nov.. Pray it's not to late for our financial &security recovery. Case in point..the NY trial of KSM…a 2nd stimulus ..and this health care 2000 page disaster!! Most anti BO voters never realized
    the situation could become this "bad"!!

    • phylan

      I agree with everything you said. I'm really afraid for our country's future. This administration is so anti-constitution and anti-american.

  • Robert

    You know Cubbies this is what happens when you pay attention to what someone's actions are and the background they come from!!! Now it is buyer remorse and we have to live with the fact that the America we know now will not be the America when this clown comes up for election!!!! Hey,how is that Hoax and Chains working out for ya???? That is why I am for empeachment,to get ride of the most dangerous corrupted political bottom feeding hacks that have ever,EVER been in the presidential position!!! This is worse than Jimmy Cracked Corn Carter ever was,and you know it Cubbies!!!!

  • bellane

    Our orator –depends on a network of like folks to coherce by strong armed tactics the bidding he gets from others. His god is himself. No one is to be above him…including our Father in Heaven!

    • Oliver

      Obama exhibits typical in-bred tribe mentality…He has never experienced failure for dumb caucasians pushed poor little Barry Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama along and gave him every gift that white socitey was guilted in to giving he as well his spouse….That is what we have recieved…A typical politically correct affirmative action zero that is not qualified to operate a curbside lemonade stand…

  • Missourian

    All those who point to Obama as an incompetent fail to see his astonishing success in his obvious though unstated goal:To do all he can to wreck the West,starting with the U.S. Dollar. To prevent a hostile foreigner from becoming President was precisely the reason for the Constitutional requirement that the President be a "natural born"citizen. However,with the connivance of the Democratic Party as the "see no evil,hear no evil and speak no evil monkeys"and the William Jefferson Clinton "Don't ask. don't tell"doctrine,this Muslim fron Kenya may yet succeed. Don't count on the 2010 elections to dis-empower the rascals:Acorn operatives,with new titles,may the the armed thugs at many polling places.

    • Oliver

      Down-Low Obammy would fall under the don't ask don't tell category…He sure appears to be by all outward appearances limp of wrist…How he walks,how he carries himself…The insecurity of walking with his hands in his trouser pockets….May be Michele gave him his Xmas gift early….she cut holes in his pockets….He looks to be of the down low variety…Don't ask Don't tell????

      • Oliver

        In the end the white race will be nothing more than "SOYLENT GREEN"for his minions and his black welfarers,felons and community activists…If you have not read the book or seen the movie of 1973 you white America,should…..

  • JAMES IN TEXAS

    PRAY FOR VICTORY. OBAMA WILL BE GOING TO TRIAL TO PROVE THAT HE IS ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE USA ON JANUARY 26TH,2010. IF OBAMA FAILS TO APPEAR OR PRODUCE EVIDENCE,HE WILL BE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF COURT. ALL MOTIONS TO DISMISS HAVE BEEN DENIED!!!

    PRAISE GOD.

    James In Texas! Please tell me I have not misinterpreted,nor misunderstood your post of 2 hrs. ago;and that it is a fact that someone is finally doing something to force a revelation of the facts concerning Obamas Birth. As GREAT as our country IS,we cannot endure another three years of him and the "Puppit"Traitors in Congress who are determined to destroy The United States Of America.
