“Let Me Just Cut You Off, Because I Don’t Want You To Waste Your Question”- Barack Obama

By PUMA Pundit on December 16, 2008

Guess what Barack Obama said when John McCormick of the Chicago Tribune tried to ask about Rahm Emanuel’s contacts with the Blagojevich team

“Let Me Just Cut You Off, Because I Don’t Want You To Waste Your Question”

You’ve just got to love a President (elect) who is so compassionate towards the press that he doesn’t even bother to answer legitimate questions…

I mean, how dare the press attempt to hold The Messiah, Barack Obama accountable…

At times I feel like it's just me against the world...

I hope that this behavior does not continue, or that he is called out on it… Can you even imagine what would have happened if Bush or Clinton for that matter had cut off a member of the media….. This little problem alone should make people take notice of what is going on… The President in a free press does not have the audacity to cut off the press.

Puma,

I want to thank you for this topic. I applaud a person for standing up to the press and for putting a “No Spin” response to a question. On the other hand, I would expect an intrepid reporter to press him further, or for that matter another sage reporter to issue a follow-up question if he/she thought there was something there.

Obama’s candid way to cover his own arrogance gave him millions and millions of supporters. This guy is expert in looking cool and calm while the thinking media ask him tough questions.
