still more transparent than the previous administration at this point (granted it was only DAY THREE)

like i said, we’ll see, if it continues during actual press conferences, i’ll agree with you. so far i’m not a huge fan of Gibbs.

So……

“I am the President, and no you can only ask questions when i tell you you can ask questions.”

Sure is transparent! Not totalitarian at all.

Something to hide there Commander in Transparency?

Combative? Or just tired of it being like he was standing in inquisition at a DFL convention?

also… just read now that the reporters were SPECIFICALLY told this was just a meet & greet and to not ask any questions, but to save them for the press conference that was held later in the day.

not defending his action necessarily… but this wasn’t a press question & answer, it was a scheduled meet & greet. there’s a time for questions and a time for personal meetings imo.

Bush was super combative to the White House press corps throughout, so i sure hope Obama is a lot better than that in time.
