This could very well be a seminal moment in the Obama travesty, er Presidency.

As you know, Barry has not faced the press for a presser since last July. Back then the media was totally in the tank for him, and only his stupid comment about Prof Gates tripped him up.

Now, the media still love him, but even they realize what an amateur and incompetent he is. The public is pissed off about the oil spill and if Barry thinks he can just shove off all the blame for the spill on Bush and BP, he will be making a big mistake.

I can't wait to see how he responds to the one or two non-softballs the MSM will be throwing his way. His thin skin will be sure to surface, and with his approval ratings tanking, the public does not want to hear his continual blaming of everyone but himself. The public wants results, and thus far Barry and his gang seem to be totally lacking any.

It probably all depends on what the meaning of “press conference” is. I can’t conceive of him allowing a freewheeling, wide-ranging, ask-anything brawl. He’ll probably filibuster for ages, take a couple of prearranged set up questions, and “go back to work for the American People.”

Or am I mistaken?

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs surprised reporters at the daily briefing Monday by announcing the president would answer questions about the spill in person Thursday

I don't believe it.

Obama will announce that he is no longer keeping a boot on the throat of BP. From now on it will be a golf shoe and a putter. He’s going to show them who’s boss.

Someone should also ask him for his long-form birth certificate.

And also ask him why his wife surrendered her law license.

And also ask him about his bribe offer to Sleestak...

vowing to keep a “boot on the throat” of BP

The administration will come to regret this choice of words. People instinctively understand that it is hard to solve a problem with a boot on your throat. And people can see the phrase actually fits the actions of the thugs in the White House. "Boot on throat" is much more apt than "Helping Hand".

I wonder which reporter will be the first to scuttle the BP oil spill and ask Barry if he offered Joe Sestak a job if he’d drop his primary challenge. The spill is a problem...the job offer is a felony.

he won't answer any questions. he will decry the irrelevance of the question, impugn the motives of the questioner, answer a completely different question that no one asked (using the annoying phrases "let me be clear . . . ", and "understand this . . "), and then move on to the next "question".

the man never actually answers a question. ever.

As the oil arrives on the Louisiana shores, Obama goes golfing

Obama hits the links at St. Andrews Air Force Base

President Barack Obama took to the golf course on Saturday after returned from delivering the commencement address at West Point.

I wish he would just turn the teleprompter around so the audience can see it and save us the pain of listening to him drone on.

Any one want to take bets there will be a (oh so not) subtle swipe at Sarah Palin in his speech?

The presser will begin with Press Secy Bobbie Gibbs doing armpit-fart impersonations of the sound made by the oil bubbling out of the seabed. Followed by Obama making similar noises using a different body part.

A White House that prides itself on operational competence and message discipline AND A COWARDLY MEDIA afraid to ask any questions of the '1'.

The same way Putin responded to Anna Politkovskaya, and this presser is just a way of determining which "journalist" gets the short straw.

I'm serious, marxist dictators only know one way to deal with non softball questions.

The wheels are coming off. Too many things going wrong in too many areas. I don't think he can handle tough questions and if he mis-steps here, the press may actually run something negative as payback. He isn't giving them much -- the love is very much one-way and they're a sensitive bunch. Like a jilted lover, they could turn on him.

This may not be the week it happens, but I think it will happen sometime.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a presidential press conference at a golf course before.
