Obama Abolishes the Press Conference
by KEITH KOFFLER on MAY 4, 2012, 11:07 AM

President Obama has held just one full length, multi-topic, solo press conference in the last six months, effectively abolishing the most accessible venue for American citizens to observe the thinking and learn the views of their leader.

It’s May, and the president has stood for only a single such news conference this year, a March 6 event in the briefing room. He’s had only three since last June, counting a November press conference in Hawaii that was supposed to be devoted to the just-held Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit but which veered off into other issues.

Nor does Obama generally allow questioning during brief appearances at the White House, such as when he makes statements with foreign leaders. Previous presidents, including George W. Bush, routinely took a couple of questions on the topic of the day at such gatherings.................>>>>...................>>>>.....................http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2012/05/04/obama-abolishes-press-conference/

President Obama has given 4 times as many press confrences as former president  Reagan, who held just
an average of 0.5 per month.
Obama in his first two years, has given just 10 fewer total press conferences than Reagan did in eight
Years (36 vs. 46).

As the Campaign progresses, I think Republicans will see more than enough of Barack Obama!


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
