You don’t seriously think Bush (or Clinton, or Bush, or Reagan) went in with no idea who he wanted to call on, do you? Do you really think their advisers never told them to call on certain people? If so, you’re seriously naive.

None of the previous Presidents, where NO where near scripted as Mr. TOTUS's puppet, especially the Republican Presidents. You might recall the outward hostility the White House press corps showed to President Bush; there was no cooperation between the two - none what so ever.

I'm sure Presidents of the past had an idea what they wanted to be asked by the press corp, but if they did not get the questions they wanted, they spoke of the subject(s) to them nonetheless.

With Obama, these guys are just too happy to lick his rear and cooperate with his scripted message and to a degree unheard of. And if you don't think so - you're seriously niave.

Ridiculing Obama for using teleprompters is juvenile. In the grand scheme of things, it means nothing at all.
