Of course he can be irritating...
that is his job. His sole purpose on radio or TV is to be controversial. I am a bit of a "raid Republican" myself, I suppose, so I find him less irritating than a far left liberal would. However, I do not always agree with him. I actually like Schnitt better, but I do like Glen Beck and enjoyed his Christmas book, as predictable as it was.
The reporters
have to stand up and do their jobs - ignoring the pressure by the repubs to intimidate them. I have seen glimmers of hope lately. After 8 years of oppression, the resistance is growing.
They won't. Reporters always ask
stupid, lame questions that are none of their business. Some even ask the same questions over and over as if they are in their own world. Are they hoping to trip the respondent up? I think so. They don't really look for answers. They just want juicy gossip to plaster in the papers. They are part of the problem in today's world. Look how much stuff is wrong but do they retract anything they write? Rarely.
Just look at how they are on the SP clothing crap. She didn't deserve all this. Let it be. Did they ever print anything nice about her? No. They were against her from the get-go and never gave up.
Reporters fuel the fire of hate.
How many reporters were waiting for
Iraq/Afghanistan? How many liberal reporters followed O around Europe, putting him on a pedestal for the whole world? Biased reporting, not even a doubt. JM & SP still rising above it. Maybe there is something to this Christianity thing after all. I suspect that a lot of us uneducated, unscientific, believers in creationism, simple-minded people who know what our future holds, are praying for them daily.
Not surprising.
There goes the claim that they'll take on the government and the big businesses and "save" the taxpayers. Unhuh, right.
Not surprising
I guess when you're an ex-president it wouldn't do to be just good ole country folks. I noticed Clintons didn't come home to the Ozarks either. Too hillbilly I guess. Guess Crawford is to rural for the bushes.
Not at all surprising. nm

Not surprising from a man who was so . . .
self-righteous about accepting stimulus money for his state. What kind of a SOB forsakes his own children on Father's Day to get his jollies? Disgusting!! He should be run out of politics permanently!
A press conference is where reporters ask...sm
the candidate questions. The candidate does not know what questions are going to be asked. Hence, a teleprompter would be useless at a press conference. Teleprompters are for SPEECHES. Get it?
Reporters are supposed to ask those questions....
OUR government is supposed to be transparent....the citizens are supposed to run the government, not the other way around....but our society has gotten so far away from knowing what freedom actually feels like and GOd knows they aren't taught true patriotism through history in school, so most citizens don't realze they have every say in what their government does and says, and the reports have every right to ask those questions. If Obama thinks they are irritating, then he is in the wrong position to begin with; answering those questions is his job. He is supposed to be working for us, as so many have forgotten. Of course, Obama is a dictator and has already shown he doesn't want the press around, unless he hand picks them, he doesn't want talk radio around, unless they are Obama lovers, etc.
This is quite funny.....not surprising though!
Back in the 1750s an ancestor of Obama was entangled in some Irish politics and tried to rig an election..........some great great grandfather! This was found by geneaological research.... smoke and mirrors still in the genes!
Not surprising at all. They always find a way s/m
to shift blame from themselves as a conservative news outlet, just as they never want to take responsibility for their hate-inciting "reporting". What a disgrace to real journailsm.

You're a little late worrying about the reporters...
They were found guilty on June 8.
"US President Barack Obama has said he is "deeply concerned" by North Korea's reported sentencing of two US journalists to 12 years' hard labour.
The US was working through all channels to secure their release, a spokesman for Mr Obama said.
The journalists, Euna Lee and Laura Ling, were found guilty of "hostile acts" and illegal entry into North Korea, state media reported."

They must have removed it. I guess it's not surprising..
The guy acted like a real jerk.
McCain just stopped talking to reporters when he got the nomination
But in the middle of the summer, the McCain campaign took a series of steps that appeared on their face to be at odds with the candidate’s gold-plated brand. In the interest of greater message discipline, his advisers eliminated his running back-of-the-bus (or front-of-the-plane) bullshit sessions with reporters. And they turned sharply negative in their approach to Obama, hammering him with a series of ads—seen by some as trivial and trivializing, by others as racially coded, and eventually by most as unexpectedly effective—focused on his status as a celebrity unqualified to be commander-in-chief.

You have a selective memory...not surprising for a liberal.
Not surprising, since you're an extreme liberal.
A Republican reporter? All I see are liberal reporters everywhere trying to shove Obama down my
Why don't you dems get your head out of the sand and start facing some facts! Check this stuff out for yourself. Mojo is a Democrat, and yet she's smart enough to know that not all the stuff you hear from the liberal media is true! And I sure as heck wouldn't trust Pelosi as far as I can throw her. Everytime we state a fact all you can come back with is Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant, or she hunts, or McCain is stiff. And deny what's really going on. You all are REAL good at doing that...

Obama Plane Pitches Reporters From McCain-Endorsing Papers
The Barack Obama campaign has reportedly booted from its campaign plane reporters from three newspapers that endorsed John McCain.
Journalists from three major newspapers -- each having endorsed John McCain -- reportedly have been booted from the Barack Obama campaign plane for the final leg of the presidential campaign.
The Washington Times reported Friday that they were notified of the Obama campaign's decision Thursday evening -- even though the paper has covered Obama from the start.
"I hope the candidate that promises to unite America isn't using a litmus test to determine who gets to cover his campaign," Washington Times Executive Editor John Solomon said in the article
The New York Post and Dallas Morning News also have been kicked off Obama's plane, according to the Web site The Drudge Report.
The Washington Times has protested the campaign's decision.
Representatives from the Post and Morning News could not be reached immediately for comment.
