Okay, he didn’t cry, but he may as well have:
Led by the Chicago press corps that has covered Obama for years, the candidate today faced a barrage of questions in what turned out to be a contentious news conference.
Questions centered on why his campaign had denied that a meeting occurred between his chief economic advisor and Canadian officials as well as questions on his relationship with Tony Rezko, a Chicago land developer and fast food magnate, now on trial for corruption charges. :
Much of the back and forth, though, between reporters and Obama was about his relationship with Tony Rezko, with reporters demanding to know why new details were emerging from the case though Obama and his staff had claimed they had been forthright with all the details.
Obama and Carol Marin, political editor at NBC5 in Chicago and columnist at the Chicago Sun-Times, tangled over how up front Obama had been about Rezko. Obama cut off her line of questioning, saying that Marin’s questions were personally motivated.
Ed:
Compare this to the press conference John McCain held after the New York Times smeared him by accusing him of having a sexual affair with a lobbyist. Not only did McCain ” whose temper has its own zip code, according to some Capitol Hill staffers ” give a lengthy and reserved statement, but then stood at the podium until the reporters ran out of questions. In fact, at the end, McCain had to ask twice whether anyone had anything else to ask him before leaving the podium.
By my count, McCain answered 36 questions in this press conference. How many did Obama take before walking off in a huff?
I think that this answers Ed’s question: He paused only to say, “Come on guys; I answered like eight questions. We’re running late.”
Must read: Sweet: Obama and his taking questions about Rezko.UPDATE
When the tough questions come in, he puts his tail between his legs and runs.
That’s no way CIC material…
LOL…this Rezco guilt-by-association thing is such a non-issue.
WHERE’S the beef?!
Oh, wait…there isn’t any.
2- That isn’t working anymore SFL. The MSM that you said was ignoring it..they noticed it, and there is a ton of beef to it and it’s not going away!
>-
2, SFL is a corrupt Democrat who supports corrupt Democrats. Niiiiicccccccceeeeee
“…and there is a ton of beef to it”
——————
Well…?
Where is it?
Where are the charges of impropriety? Where is the proof that Obama did anything for this guy at the expense of the public?
Criminal charges? No?
I repeat, this is pretty weak stuff.

The Global Warming Boondogle:

The founder of the Weather Channel, along with over 500 scientist other scientist, are at a conference in New York this weekend breaking the so called “consensus” that man made GW exists.
here’s the beef:
Obama, Rezko, Auchi, And Saddam:The Funding For That “boneheaded mistakeâ€
The New York Times Goes After The Rezko/Obama Connection ..WaPo Goes After Obama’s Record
Oh how cute!
Keep up the misinformation campaign, and who knows! Maybe someday that 500 will grow to…600.
And then they can take on the TENS OF THOUSANDS of scientists and most government climate study institutions who actually do agree that mankind can negativly influence the climate of the planet.
SFL, the “misinformation” is contained within Al Gore’s movie, which has failed every standard of examination it has been subjected to.
The people that have been pushing this fraud are going to look awfuly silly when the tide turns and it is evident to everyone (not just us rational, logical, independent thinkers) that this is a scam.
SFL Monicas (sucks up to) Liberal lies. He can’t even admit Obama is unethical when presented with the facts. He can’t accept any stories debunking his patron saint, Albore.
All Gore’s movie was sucessfully taken to court in England as containing misinformation. The same group of scientists are trying to get enough money together to do the same in America. The same person who got DDT removed world wide is going to represent the case. If that happens and they are sucussful, because of his holdings and intersts in the “carbon credit” Ponzi scheme based corporations, they will be able to press charges with him to the SEC.
And speaking of misinformation, it was not at all ten of thousands SFL. Perhaps you should educate yourself or stop spreading such misinformation yourself.
I’m not talking about “Al Gore’s movie”…
I’m talking about report after report after report from scientific agency after scientific agency and so on.
No, really, you people are struggling against the tide on this one. If it wasn’t so sad to watch, it would be funny.
And yes Ted, tens of thousands of scientists and hundereds of scientific organizations across the globe. (!)
The only people “uneducated” on the subject are those in the opposition who are being clouded and/or blinded by political ideology and, amoung other things, greed.
Thankully, schools and universities all over the world are teaching man-made climate change as Fact…and have been for years.
You’re too late. The concept has already sunk deeply into the minds of students everywhere.
Scientific consensus on the issue happened long ago.
My advice? Give it up. Try and work the system from within. Sneak your classic conservative themes of Fear and Greed into the new Green world and try and make a buck there somehow.
#8, Pam…
You call that Beef?!
Pretty weak stuff here, on Obama…
“Fear and Greed”?
) That’s EXACTLY what we are seeing from the hype human-caused-GW crowd!!! 100% FEAR is the sell, based on junk science and cherry-picked data. GREED by the Scientific frauds who want to keep the research dollars flowing and especially by Al Gore and his Crabon Credits frraud scam.
You wanna talk fear and greed? The whole GW scam is built on them!
“I’m talking about report after report after report from scientific agency after scientific agency and so on.”
Yes, and so am I.
Scientists are re-examining the IPCC/UN Climate survey boondoggle supported and propagandized by men like Al Gore. The British courts are ruled the teaching man-made global warming as fact is illegal, as the scientific data provided to them shown that it isn’t fact.
And now in America, the tide is turning against the international grab for money known as man-made global warming. The same scientists, who are largely unaffiliated and whose purpose are to seek a position supported by legitimate theory and no lobbyist money, are now seeking to do the same in America.
Like the global cooling zealots of the 70′s, the global warming zealots of today are now being discredited. The fear campaign and propaganda is now being seen for what it is…a boondoggle whose only purpose was to raise money for an illegitimate political cause.
To coin a phrase popular on this blog as of late…”Can you feel it?” :d
