The Obamanation

[glatt]

Obama has answered more questions from the press so far in his first 4 months than Bush did in two entire terms. What's the problem with him calling on Huffington? That he's trying to get his desired message out first before moving on to other off-topic questions later?

No problem - just don't act like its something it isn't. It was a setup intended to deceive people. Something I hoped and thought he was above.
If "he's trying to get his desired message out first" as you said - then he can, rather should, make a statement, or read it off the prompter. There was no reason to do what was done.

you managed to deduce that Obama knew Nico had been soliciting questions for Obama from Iranians! Impressive; you're a veritable Sherlock Holmes.
