Mr. Hope’s getting a little testy, isn’t he. Scrutiny is a pain, you know, that whole press thing. It’s much better to be the untouched.
…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.
… .. Toward the end of the press conference, the question of Goolsbee’s meeting was raised again. Obama answered curtly and then walked out after a staffer called last question. The press erupted with shouts, but Obama continued to walk out.
He paused only to say, “Come on guys; I answered like eight questions. We’re running late.”
On the flight from San Antonio to Dallas, Obama, unsurprisingly, did not wander back to make small talk with the traveling press corps.
The above video is Jim Warren on “Tucker,” which I talked about last
night, backing up Lynn Sweet on the fact that Obama hasn’t answered the questions on Rezko.
Susan over at NoQuarter put the video below. I think it’s a gem. You can see
Lynn Sweet asking Obama to answer some more questions. Instead, Obama shrugs them off; evidently eight questions is the max, especially when it’s about something like Rezko.
