Obama Going on Six Months Without a Press Conference

 Obama is refusing to face the music

President Obama is preparing for his State of the Union address,expected sometime in the next month,but some in the White House press corps are getting antsy for him to hold a news conference with reporters,something he hasn’t done since July 22,almost six months ago.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday he doesn’t know when Obama may face reporters’questions again.

"I don’t see one on the schedule,at least in the short term,which is precisely what I said,"Gibbs said,adding,"The last time we had this conversation here about the president’s media strategy,I was informed by many of you that the president was overexposed."

Obama has given dozens of one-on-one interviews for television,radio and print,and Towson University political science professor Martha Joynt Kumar said presidents tend to favor media exchanges that best suit their particular goals.

With a health insurance reform bill still in flux,Obama is unlikely to do a news conference any time soon.

    Clearly Obama is using his press secretary Gibbs as a "human Shield"to protect him from all those difficult questions that he has no good answer for.

    Questions like,why did you decide to give KSM and the Undee Bomber the same rights as US citizens when it would be much easier to try and convict them at a Military Tribunal?

    Why was Major Nidal Hasan not intervened on by our intelligence agents before the went postal at Ft. Hood?

    And….

    Where is the transparency you promised with regard to Health Care? How come the proceedings are not being televised live on C-SPAN as you repeatedly and specifically promised they would be?

    You can run but you can't hide forever Obama!

    We want answers,not evasions of these questions.

    Gibbs a human shield? That's funny…. normally I have real empathy for human shield!

  • Diane

    Wouldn't all of the the questions have to be known first,before the Press conference …..and then the answers already be posted on his teleprompter so that he can answer them as "The Powers That Be "expect him to answer them ?? What good is this man child without his teleprompter,anyway ?
