rawstory.com — Veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas said the Obama administration's way of handling questions from the press and pre-scripting of town hall questions is "shocking." She says in all her years in the White House she's never seen anything like it.

Turd... "Ya, uh, well, Bush" doesn't qualify as an intelligent response. Whatever Bush did or didn't do has no relevance to the disgusting abuses of our liberties being perpetuated by Obama. He has sold out the liberals. He has sold out the conservatives. He has sold out America at an unprecedented rate. Bush is out, this is 100% Obama. The federal government DOES NOT have the power to own private institutions. The "Czars" he has created have NO AUTHORITY given to them by the constitution nor congress. Only the most arrogant of dictators would put forth the policies that Obama has and the American people will not stand for it. The love affair is over.

On a more serious note, concerns with the issue of transparency have a great deal of merit. As a free people, we must always remain suspicious regarding limits in our access to the truth and restrictions on our ability to think critically.Obama is not our saviour and the media is not out to get the truth because they are "on our side." This is a simple power struggle and the current administration has taken some ground for now.The difficulty for the media is that the pendulum is swinging the other way when one of their own is in office.For the past 8 years we watched the media, especially folks like Helen, disrespect the presidency and use their position in an open forum to advantage. Bush lacked the ability to articulate and the intellect required to hold his own in open forums where off topic lines of questioning ruled the day. They took advantage of that, so I think the media has partly brought this on themselves.Sadly, I don't believe either party involved in this struggle is acting in our best interest in the first place.

It's not about republican or Democrat ...It's about censorship...you know the very freedom your using right now to post! It's communizm..plain and simple and it's been creeping in long before BamBam got into office! He just uses it more often! Like all the time! Other wise he wouldn't have gotten that far..He made a deal with the Devil ( Clinton's), and he will regret it. Clinton's are crooks from the day they were born!!
