White House: Obama Has Been Frustrated By Tough Questions From Media

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest admitted Thursday that President Obama has at times been frustrated by tough and frequent questions from the media during his time in office.

A reporter asked Earnest at the White House daily press briefing whether Obama watched Donald Trump’s press conference on Wednesday and what he thought of the president-elect’s strong reaction to some of the questions.

Earnest said that he did not know whether Obama had seen the press conference before pivoting to his own experience in the White House press office during the Obama administration. Earnest said there have been several situations in which he and some of his White House colleagues did not agree with the way that certain journalists have chosen to ask the president questions.

That corrupt snowflake has never been taken to task for the crimes he’s committed. I never would have believed liberals to be so totally corrupt and reprobate had I not seen how they bury their heads in the manure where this guy is concerned.

From the time that the alleged “news” media did not pursue such stories as the apparent Bill Ayers connection, Mister Obama’s missing collegiate transcripts, Fast and Furious, the loss of much of our military strength, and a whole host of other legitimate-but-neglected newsworthy questions, I knew that Mister Obama had nothing to fear from the press.

Tough questions like what? Where do you get your socks and where will you go on vacation from your last vacation that must have been really tough?

Tough questions for Obama. Like what? “Mr. President would you like Sprite or 7 up?” “Mr. President would you describe yourself as wonderful or glorious?”

If Obozo ever faced a “tough” media question in his life he didn’t bother to answer it.... but I can’t recall any such tough questions to him, ever.

oh my goodness these people are pathetic- They lie right to our faces knowing we see right through them- but they have no shame whatsoever- and just keep doing it-

Trump may have won, but by golly the ONLY thing the msm will talk about for 4-8 years is how rough dear leader had it the last 8 years and how unfair the press was to him - the left will be insufferable like they always are when they lose-

The next 4-8 years is going to be one witch hunt after another as they try to pay the republicans back for daring to question dear leader’s citizenship

Questions were screened and the White House Press was spied on regarding all their computers and communications, so how surprised were they with anything?

I’m beginning to understand how the Soviet people viewed the “news” being pimped every day by the Kremlin...

It's a lie.

'The Press' has kissed Obama's butt for 8 years.

I never NEVER once heard 'the press' talk about holding Obama 'accountable' - - for ANYTHING.

But that phrase, "holding accountable' will be all we'll hear for the next four years because the press sucks. Because they're biased. Because they're filled with hatred for people who live in flyover.If the press isn't working for the DNC they're working for rouge CIA jerks who think THEY'RE suppose to run the United States. There are traitors among us.
