Should President Obama do a prime time press conference and answer questions from the press?

    As I read through the comments, I think I may have changed my mind as I voted "yes" but we all know there will be plants in the group of "journalists" they dream up and to be honest I can't stand to even look at "His Majesty" when he is on and I usually mute my tv when he is on so I guess I had better admit that I have changed my mind on this topic. The fact that he is on notice letting the taliban know that we are withdrawing in July of 2011 is absolutely the most stupid thing I have ever heard and I had to get that one in.

    Why bother, it's all planed out and meant to pull our changes anyway. He has already proved what kind of leader he is. The Obama motto "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull sh@#".

    Why should he? He will just continue to LIE and blame Bush!

    The press will just throw him softball questions, so a press conference is useless.

    Another waste of time. Tired of hearing him.

    Of course, he should take questions, unfiltered questions, and give honest answers, but he won't. So it's a waste of time. He's used up too much tv time already.

    I voted yes although Obama usually plants questioners...hopefully some significant questerers will get through...and he should leave his teleprompter at home. Even Chris Matthews is complaining about his incessant almost obsessive use of a teleprompter.

    How about let the public .....you know " We the people" ask him real questions....the lame media will not ask him tough questions.

    The press will not ask inteligent questions. The President will not provide inteligent answers. So I will watch College or HS Football not the Pres song and dance for a bunch of non reporters.
    I had grown up thinking reporters dug for the truth, no matter who was in office. They had a patrotic streak geared to protecting America, and the people. Maybe they did back then, I am 65. But I don't remember them supporting Japan or Germany....Funny don't even remember any old war movies making the Germany or Japan look good, but that was a different generation of actors too.

    What, we don't hear enough speeches from him as it is? What's the point of putting us through a phony news conference when he'll just dance around and insinuate that anyone who doesn't go along with his ideas is stupid. I voted NO.

    So Obama is going to do a question/answer conference with the media ---- I, as an American, would like to ask him some questions. But he probably wouldn't pay any more attention to we Americans during a press conference than he does to us now. If he were listening to us, we would NOT be in the mess we are in. We would not have passed the stimulus, we would not have a health care plan that Americans hate and a lot of other bills that are doin a great deal of damage to our country.

    BO should answer questions but not from the MSM who are still slobbering over him, he should answer non scripted, questions from American citizens who are fed up with him and his radical agenda.

    I ALSO VOTED NO AS A WASTE OF TIME SINCE THE MEDIA HE CALLS ON ONLY THROWS SOFTBALLS AT HIM. WHENEVER HE GETS A QUESTION THAT HE DOES NOT WANT TO ANSWER ... HE BEGINS WITH "LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR" AND THEN BEGINS TO BLAME BUSH. THIS GUY IS ARROGANT, CANNOT ADMIT TO ERROR (AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM), IS UNWILLING TO CHANGE COURSE FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY (IT IS ALL ABOUT HIM) AND IS TOO WRAPPED UP IN HIMSELF. HE BELIEVES HE IS THE "ANNOINTED ONE" WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS.

  • Beverly Knapp - 1 year ago

    I voted NO because he would orchestrate the whole thing, and blame everyone else for our troubles. Time to stop campaigning and be the President he was elected to be (no, I did not vote for him),

  • Diana - 1 year ago

    He picks the press and the questions ahead of time. It's a waste of prime time $$ and a waste of time period.

  • Bud - 1 year ago

    I think it would be a good idea. We need to be constantly reminded what an inexperienced, arrogant, chin up, poor excuse for a leader who lied his way into office, we are stuck with. Besides, more of those who believed, may finally see the light.

    I am personally tired of his lectures, lies and total disregard of the Will of American people plus I've seen enough of him on TV...a press conference would be pointless. We all know that the mainsteam network puppets are for the most part, Obama owed. The toughest question he'll get fron Katie Couric would be about his golf game and Brian Williams will ask him if he quit smoking yet. I'd rather watch paint dry !

  • sharon in az - 1 year ago

    no, potus should definitely NOT do a press conference at this time, for all the above reasons. PLUS, i would feel compelled to watch this hypothetical media charade, which would get me "all het up," stomping around the house even angrier than i already am, muttering about offenses to the dignity of the office, cavalier irresponsibility in high places, patriotism (or the lack thereof), and presidential platitudes and buzzwords...i live in a sanctuary city in arizona, within earshot of gunfire in the barrio... does it show? :~]

    I agree with Dan. He would only have the liberal reporters, those on his side, and he wouldn't tell the truth anyway. Nothing would be gleaned from this type of press conference.

  • Dan - 1 year ago

    Unfortunately, he will only call on 'planted' questions from known propagandists on his side. If we could only have him hold a news conference with a room full of journalists, then it would be worth watching. Otherwise, another waste of time!!
