No, he just goes to Republican retreats and spends an hour taking questions from his toughest critics - and on live TV, no less. But since reporters were not the ones asking questions it doesn't count, I guess. |

If Obama holds a press conference he is "pandering to the liberal media". If he takes questions from a his biggest opponents he is "refusing to hold a press conference".

If Obama holds a press conference he is "pandering to the liberal media". Is that a quote from me? I doubt it. I think he should have regular press conferences. I know that many presidents didn't do that exactly because they didn't want to take the public opinion hit for it, or perceived hit, but not doing it might also hurt. And I think that standing up to the questions is part of the job. If he takes questions from a his biggest opponents he is "refusing to hold a press conference". That health care town hall isn't a press conference, Holman. |

"President George W. Bush held the fewest first- term press conferences in modern presidential history." http://www.americanprogress.org/issu...acy_press.html Another of your famous Double Standards, perhaps? |

But since reporters were not the ones asking questions it doesn't count, I guess. OK. He had a press conference last July and spent an hour with the Republicans. Is that supposed to be the hallmark of the most open and transparent administration in history? How about refusing to allow the Supreme Court nominee to be interviewed by ANYONE in the press and having the only interview be with a White house staffer? What is Bush had done the same? Would you have been happy? |
