Questions? We Don't Need No Blanking Questions!: Obama's Refusal To Answer

This from Chip Reid at CBS News. Remember CBS News? These are guys who took the forged papers on Bush II and couldn't wait to present them as the real McCoy! The same folks who carried the water for Himself in 2008, and hoisted Him upon their humble shoulders across the finish line. They've been the shills for every hare-brained Democrat politician since forever. They were positively breathless about such luminaries as the Clintons, John Edwards, John Kerry, and Tennessee's Favorite Son AlGore.

Suckahs!

There was some rich irony at the White House today -- President Obama signed the Press Freedom Act, and then promptly refused to take any questions.

The new law expands the State Department's annual human rights reports to include a description of press freedoms in each country. It seemed a good opportunity to showcase press freedom in this country.

Recall that last Friday the president refused to take any questions after delivering his angry statement on the oil spill in the Rose Garden. And he has not held a prime-time White House news conference in many months, despite much pleading from pundits and members of the media.

So after he signed the bill, and as the press "wranglers" began aggressively herding us out of the room, I asked if he still has confidence in BP. He ignored the question so I tried this: "In the interest of press freedom, would you take a couple questions on BP?"

That did elicit a smile, and he told me I was free to ask questions. Someone else shouted, "Will you answer them?"

He said he's not holding a press conference today as we were escorted out the door.

And He won't be holding one tomorrow, or the day after that, or...

At least ole' Chip is beginning to tumble to the fact that he was scammed, and his editors at CBS News, by allowing him to publish, are acknowledging the same.

Wonder if they'll ever locate their bollocks, and actually start telling the truth about this White House, before the last shreds of their credibility melt away? It may, finally, be about their own self-preservation.
