The Obamanation

[Shawnee123]

In what appeared to be

It appeared to be

Reporters typically don’t coordinate their questions for the president before press conferences, so it seemed odd that Obama might have an idea what the question would be

It seemed odd...

said over Twitter it was "very unusual that Obama called on Huffington Post second

Very unusual. Oh, and Twitter.

Ooooohhhhhh, I think we should all be frightened and hiding....oooohhhhhhhh.

I mean seriously...crack reporting in that article, eh?

Hey..i just popped in to respond to Merc's cheap shot at me.

I really dont expect either one of you to ever acknowledge or respond to the facts. You never did.....you just took your petty shots.

Old dogs, new tricks? Never gonna happen with the two of you.

Long live the Tweedledudes!

The rocks at the foundation of the cellar's political forum.

Yep...sure have...and its always good for a laugh.

I know I can count on the Tweedledudes to keep me up-to-date on the latest wing nut outrage.

OBAMA: Niko, I know that you and all across the Internet, we've been seeing a lot of reports coming directly out of Iran. I know that there may actually be questions from people in Iran who are communicating through the Internet. Do you have a question?

QUESTION: Yes, I did, but I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you a question directly from an Iranian. We solicited questions on tonight from people who are still courageous enough to be communicating online. And one of them wanted to ask you this: Under which conditions would you accept the election of Ahmadinejad? And if you do accept it without any significant changes in the conditions there, isn't that a betrayal of -- of what the demonstrators there are working to achieve?

Of course Obama knew he had a question - It was set up beforehand. Niko was escorted to a nice seat by the deputy press secretary Josh Earnest. I'm sure all the members of the press get escorted to their seats - puhlease.

I believe he was standing at the back of the room.

So he was invited to ask a question from Iranian protesters because he has been in contact w/the protesters more than most reporters.

Outrageous!!!!!

WHO GIVES A FUCK?

This is why I quit posting in politics, though you've said "how come no one ever wants to argue politics anymore?" This is the most stupid inconsequential thing you could have possibly dredged up.

But don't get snippy when I do respond to it, to tell you it's stupid.

You don't have a response to any of it, just regurgitating a political blogger who is posing (YES POSING...how's that for honesty/transparency?) as a concerned person "in the know." Redux is right, it's a non-issue and you have no reason for posting it except to pretend like you can say "I told you so."

[classicman]

Boy you sure got awful upset about it if its so stupid and inconsequential ... why'd you bother? Why not wait till something more tangible?
Seems to me both you and rerun got all bent over it.

[Shawnee123]

Why, Nico is the Joe the Plumber of the Obama administration.

Redux, I have always enjoyed your perspective on issues. I hope you continue to post here, regardless of the right wing nutjobs you have to contend with.

Good job takin that out of context HM -
Although I may be the only one who thinks this was lame. I will stand firm in my belief whether its popular or not, especially here on the cellar.

S123 - please don't insult the man like that. thats rude.

Taking what out of context? He said he knew the guy had a question from an Iranian, and it turned out the guy had a question from an Iranian. I ask again, where's the deceit?

What context makes him not have said that he knew the guy had a question from an Iranian?

LMAO.....now that's a classic pot calling the kettle black if I ever saw one.

Hell, not just one.

I could fnd 10-20 classic "cut and paste" of right wing editorials/blogs that take the facts out of context....and when pointed out, one is graced with the standard classic retort that refuses to acknowledge the playing loose with the facts by his "sources".

[Aliantha]

But why is it lame? What has he done that makes it lame? He asked for a question from someone other than the mainstream? He may have known what the question would be? What's lame about that?
