I read nothing of this azz handing even in the ultra liberal Seattle Times. From what I read, while a bit snarky here and there, it was actually a good meeting. Sounded as if they should do it more often.

The amusing thing about the meeting was that several news networks covered it live, including Fox. For some reason Fox cut away from their coverage, perhaps because Obama wasn't being made to look the fool like Fox had hoped.

That's not the way I heard it, App. The clips I heard featured one Obama tongue-tie after another.

Disagree...might want to watch clips other than one's provided by Fox...

Agree, but see how easy it is to run with a broad generalization not based upon fact but merely one's perception.....

Do you think her teleprompter shorts out everytime she gets hot and sweaty?

It's actually a bit worse than that for me, App. I don't have cable, therefore I miss out on my beloved Megyn Kelly and Martha MacCallum. I picked up those Obama stutters off the CBS Evening News.
