Obama flashes irritation at press room visit
Politico ^ | 1-22-09 | JONATHAN MARTIN & CARRIE BUDOFF BROWN

President Obama made a surprise visit to the White House press corps Thursday night, but got agitated when he was faced with a substantive question.

Asked how he could reconcile a strict ban on lobbyists in his administration with a Deputy Defense Secretary nominee who lobbied for Raytheon, Obama interrupted with a knowing smile on his face.

"Ahh, see," he said, "I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here."

Pressed further by the Politico reporter about his Pentagon nominee, William J. Lynn III, Obama turned more serious, putting his hand on the reporter's shoulder and staring him in the eye.

I don’t care about the flashes, but am waiting for the flame-out and the crash.

“Obama said he had watched press secretary Robert Gibbs debut briefing “in anticipation of some flop sweat. ... I just want to thank you for not completely ripping up Gibbs,” Obama said.

“I am very proud of him today. He got a fist bump from me.”

Signaling what? That if they are proper little press poodles..he will treat them like his wife?

Yeah, very interesting. Let’s just hope the press challenges him every now and then. He was caught off guard as the media is usually kissing his ass.
