I'm just shocked that the dumbest man ever to pretend to be POTUS is this scripted.

That explains Compton’s reaction when called on. Her question could not have been more insipid.

This was obvious. When he called on a reporter from the Mexican press, he asked if she was there - he was reading off a prepared list. The same happened when he called the Ebony guy. He picked NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, Politico (internet), plus an assortment of others. It was so prepared it sure sounded like he knew the questions in advance. Either way he had his prepared responses in advance. This act is wearing thin very quickly.

The next step: submit your questions in advance so that the answers can be programmed into TOTUS.

Some think this has already occurred.

It would be fun to see all the reporters think “F-— this” and ask him about AIG and nonscripted, tough questions.

I can’t wait for the Obama apologists to ‘splain this one.

One guess, the reporters, in the presence of the Messiah, may be soooo starstruck, so awed, that it is for the media’s benefit to know, and emotionally prepare for their ‘calling out.’ Yes. It is all done in kindness and mercy for the press.

They won’t explain a thing, their messiah can do absolutely no wrong. Our entire country seems to have fallen for a cult leader worse then Manson or Jim Jones.

I watched Congressman LaTourette (R-OH) playing Clue on C-SPAN tonight. It was hilarious. They had all the people that met with Nancy Pelosi discussing who put in the part of the bill to give AIG bonusses. They figured out the weapon was a pen. And they guessed that Senator Dodd committed the crime, but were puzzled why Rahm Emanuel was in there helping to craft the bill. It was all done during after hour speechifying, and they were obviously having fun with the situation, but were straight faced. Charlie Rangel and Harry Reid were suspects as was Pelosi, Dodd, and Emanuel. Wish I’d have taped it.

"That explains Compton’s reaction when called on. Her question could not have been more insipid."

I will never be able to think about 9/11 without recalling her snide anti-Bush remarks on that day:As Air ForceOnewent to Barksdale, then Omaha, she said of the President: "He can run, but he can't hide..."

It was one of the all-time low-class low points in radio news. I cannot see her face without thnking of that stupid "report."
