Obama signs press freedom act, declines to take questions

Now I understand why because the questions asked were un-related. But it is a funny headline and actually points out a bigger issue.

That is funny!

I liked his actual response: "You are free to ask them," Obama said. "I'm not doing a press conference today."

Obama and Brown must have been taught at the same politicians academy

I guess it could be said in reaffirmed both the 1st and 5th amendments at the same time...

This reminds me on an old David Fry routine. David Fry was a comedian who used to satirize Nixon.

Reporter: Mr. President, what are your intentions concerning Viet Nam?

David Fry (as Nixon), Well the fact are, and I do believe in the importance of facts. After all, I am the President and that's a fact. Next question.

Reporter: Mr. President you did not answer my question

Nixon: That is also a fact.
