Title: Obama Thinks He's President; Denies Media Access
Post by: TheSarge on July 24, 2008, 10:13:22 PM
Not every reporter covering Barack Obama's world tour is entranced by the words and imagery of the Democratic candidate. On Thursday's "Good Morning America," political correspondent Jake Tapper jabbed at Obama's overconfidence, describing the senator's July 24 speech in Berlin as "one the Obama campaign is billing at almost presidential. Even though he is not the president."

Reporting from inside the Obama plane, Tapper complained in a snarky tone, "Inside, the plane has been redesigned to separate the senator and his staff from us lowly reporters." He added that Obama officials told journalists that they could brief reporters as anonymous officials. Tapper grumbled, "One of them said that's what we did at the White House during the Clinton years. We pointed out they don't work at the White House." Regarding the Obama plane, the ABC journalist also pointed out: "The American flag on the tail wing has been replaced by an enormous Obama O."

Even dumb dogs know not to bite the hand that feeds them.

And B Hussein Obama & his posse are dissing the media by limiting their access....and putting them in the back of the plane as lesser mortals?

Too funny....it's the kiss of death.  Once the media gets mad at him, look out.

This guy really is dumber than a box of rocks.


This comment from the page mirrors what I am thinking.

Yeah, he's dissing the people that elevated him to the position he's in to begin with.

Hence the nickname going around of his plane, O-Force One. Sickening.  :bird:

Heh.

I'll have to find it but some media outlet has the following quote: McCain Talks About Obama's Audacity of Hopelessness in Iraq.
