By Chip Reid, CBS
You may recall that on Monday President Obama refused take any questions from the press (irony alert!) immediately after signing the "Press Freedom Act" in the Oval Office. The president, who hasn’t held a prime time press conference since last July, said this was not a press conference and he would have something later in the week.
He was presumably referring to today’s scheduled "Joint Press Conference" with Mexican President Calderon in the Rose Garden. But so-called "press conferences" with foreign leaders usually allow for only two questions from the White House press corps and two from foreign reporters.
But today he said there was time for only one from each side. And in what I suspect was a White House effort to assure that the questioning was limited to immigration and other issues of U.S.-Mexico concern, he called on the Univision reporter from the U.S. side.
So if his goal was to avoid answering any tough questions about yesterday’s elections, or the oil spill in the Gulf, or financial regulation, or Iran, or Afghanistan — he succeeded.
As he and President Calderon turned to walk back toward the Oval Office I asked, loudly enough for him to hear, if he had any comment on the elections. No response.
I then shouted "Do you have any plans for a REAL press conference?" No response, not that I expected one.

Nice. Your challenge is masterful–it shows how cowardly and venal the empty suit truly is.
The Emperor Obama does not like to be bothered by the lowly serfs. Pesky they are!
Obama and his regime are eletists and marxists who do not feel accountable to anyone but themselves. It should come as no surprise that they ignore, belittle or demonize any and all who disagree with them or get in their way. They’ve made it very clear who they are, what they are and what they want.
Obama, this is so bad I can hardly comment.
Just stand there and applaud with your other nitwit Liberals, while America SINKS!!!!!
even if he "proves" his eligibility to serve as a president , by his actions the last two years he has shown that he has no respect for the constitution or Americans in general and is a traitor to this country by trying to undermine our legal system and bypass the processes to pass laws , as in the so called " Obamacare" health plans , and putting us in debt for the foreseeable future . the only promise that he has kept is the "change" he said he would institute , he never said it would be change for the better.
While I agree with the comments posted here, it would be interesting to know just how may of these comments come from previous admirers of this Idiot in Chief

Obama is truly a total disaster in the making. I nbever voted for the pos and never will. Yep he is one term for sure. So how is that hopey changey crap working out for you Obama voters.
I can beleive that this artical came from the MSM. This coming from CBS makes me think that BO might be mad at them for not giving him the 100% possative press he wants. Just maybe the MSM will start fully covering the real news and all the BS that is going on at the White House.
Is Nick a "plant"? I have read his tirade (or tried to read it) several times, and I really can't figure out what the heck he is talking about. But I digress –
ALL narcissists, especially malignant ones like the Nobama, will not tolerate any impromptu challenges. He demands that HE is in control of anything that could affect him being "exposed" as the demon that is he. Of course, in that respect, he is transparent – to those of us who are discerning. He may not be the antichrist, but he is definitely satan's "homeboy". With so many Christians praying for Psalm 109:8, he must be part of God's plan to do what is necessary to allow the US to fall and be absorbed into the OWG. It's painful to watch this nation crumble, but Christians will be going home soon. God help those left behind in this mess.
No Nick Is Not a Plant, He is A American That Knows Who is destrouyng America, And It's main Thrust Started in 1913, With woodrow Wilson and Congress, But Goes Back To The Bastarf Abraham Lincoln When He Could Have Avoided The Sluaghter of Christian Men Both North and South and the Destruction of Property,As the same People Who Infiltrated Our Government befor the Civil War,Did The Same To Russia,Germany ,Italy China Koreia Vietnan and now the Middle East Palistine, Iraq and Iran.

GLENN BECK WAS AND IS RIGHT! HURTS, DOESN'T IT?

That may be a message? Maybe a few thousand.
I am really scared of the damage he can do in the next two years. We have to send a REALLY strong message is November, but wonder if it will faze him? Will he say the American people have spoken?
He has such an ego – maybe he could swim down to the leaking oil pipe and put his big head in it to
stop the oil leak?

If you did you are about as blind as a bat flying backwards in a blizzard! The idea (Cheech and Chong got it right) if it looks like Dog%$#@ and it smells like dog%$#@ then it must be dog%$#@ If the man in office appears to be as you and so many more and more millions say he is then guess what ? You can bet on it being just that way!! Somethinghas to happen before it's toooooooo late! I MEAN SOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!
Lets not forget the idiots there in Wahington who like to of broke their legs getting up so fast to give a standing ovation for that Mexican president who seems to think he has a right to tell our country what to do. These people are the ones we need to vote out of office in Nov.
