Bravo to Chip Reid and "veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas!
If you missed it, read it here:
"the point is the control from here. We have never had that in the White House. And we have had some control but not this control. I mean I'm amazed, I'm amazed at you people who call for openness and transparency and you have controlled...certain media"
Wow, we have a whole new respect for Helen Thomas!
Maybe the Press is FINALLY beginning to see through "Mr. Transparency."
Gibbs is so arrogant and pretentious. He never answers questions; he evades and laughs them off as ridiculous.
Helen Thomas and Chip Reid proved once and for all that the only transparency in the Obama administration is that he is an empty suit and that the Emperor has NO clothes.
Obama can't think on his feet and answer hard questions without his speech writers and his teleprompter telling him what to say.
Yes, the Obama handlers want to carefully screen all questions and those that might question his Constitutional eligibility to serve as President.
Right...Hillary?
We wonder if he'd give our Mr. Mayor a job? He'd sure fit right in with Gibbs and Obama!
This Administration will not stand for dissenting views or opinions.
It took Helen Thomas this long to realize every appearance by Obama, since the start of the campaign is a carefully staged and choreographed production.
We will give her credit for pressing the second question:
"I'm not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well-for the town halls, for the press conferences, it's blatant. They don't give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame."
She added: "What the hell do they think we are, puppets?"
That was absolutely...priceless!
"Talk about a halmark moment!"
Is the kool-aide finally wearing off these reporters?
Is censorship next on Obama's agenda?
