After the infamous "no press" golfing weekend

Posted: Feb 19, 2013

the first question they asked him when he was getting off the plane: "Did you beat Tiger?" It appears all is forgiven and they're back to fawning. ;

Tiger will still have to be approved by the senate before he takes his seat on the Supreme Court.

Funny to watch the news media - sh

getting offended when someone actually wants privacy. They think it's their job to invade every aspect of everyone's life and call that "news."

Exactly WHAT needed forgiving by the media?

Please be specific

You MISSED the whole point - sm

Who said I hate Obama? It's not I. The point of the post, as I understand it, is that the press was offended that Obama shut them out of his weekend. I thought that was funny. Now they are back to normal status as evidenced by their first question upon his return. Nothing more to the story than that. Sorry if that's not specific enough for you.

are you the OP? - other

Here was you FIRST post:

the first question they asked him when he was getting off the plane:

"Did you beat Tiger?"

It appears all is forgiven and they're back to fawning.

Note the last line: It appears ALL IS FORGIVEN.

I asked you to specify exactly what needed forgiving and you didn't because you can't!

As to the obama-hater comment - do you really think i need YOU to "say" you hate him?

OK board, sorry - I should know by now to ignore *********************

To "Not Fairminded" You are the one who needs - to try to keep up - sm

What do you mean you wanted her to be specific about. How more simpler can it be spelled out for you.

The post was about the media being shut out and then not saying anything when they should have. That's pretty darn obvious.

I find your racist comment of "Obama hater" very offensive. This was not about loving or hating Obama. This was about the media being locked out and then not have the spine to say anything.

Very Fairminded - mbmt

She is very fair minded. Some people are better at picking up on the true reason for a post than others.

No, not really - Tin foil hat alert

Those mind reading skills might do better at a carnival show.

Thank you! - Fairminded

If this "conversation" was held in real-time I might be able to make the OP understand better, but he/she posted the start of this thread - and *that* is what I responded to - the notion that there was something for the media to 'forgive.' I should not have assumed the OP was capable of a fair or honest discussion :) but thanks for your comment!

I'm with you on the point of the post - sm

Not about Obama, but about the media feeling left out.

the media feeling left out was trumped up by RW media - nothing more

The White House press corps is expressing frustration over its lack of access this weekend to President Obama, who was on a golfing vacation in Florida. Ed Henry, the Fox News correspondent and president of the White House Correspondents Association, released a statement Sunday evening in which he said the press corps had been given no access to the president, who was joined on his outing by star golfer Tiger Woods, and that the WHCA would fight for greater transparency in the days ahead. ...

press corps is told that President John F. Kennedy has a cold; in reality, he is holding secret meetings with advisors on the eve of ordering a blockade of Cuba. Kennedy was in Seattle and scheduled to attend the Seattle Century 21 World’s Fair when his press secretary announced that he had contracted an “upper respiratory infection.” The president then flew back to Washington, where he supposedly went to bed to recover from his cold. Four days earlier, Kennedy had seen photographic ...

...who preached a "socialist Garden of Eden." This is, in fact, the very man from whom we got the warning "don't drink the Kool-Aid" because that's how he administered the poison that killed his congregation. Or, at least some of us got the warning. It's quite enlightening to study this man, his socialist utopia, "Jonestown" and listen to some of the people who managed to escape his clutches. It puts you in mind of someone today, but I can't think who. Oh, ...

The original story was about a controversial package in a school setting, but it was quickly claimed to be a homemade clock. If so, the clock itself (not the presentation) might be cool as the White House said. If not, the world may be propping up a plagiarist who flaunted the piece of crap in an intentionally controversial way (suppositions). This video challenges that the clock was homemade by showing a nearly identical package being prepared in about twenty seconds (screws and simple fastener ...

He's having a "concussion summit" at the WH. After all, injuries in football are really important to this nation - always have been. The funny part is he started the day off with a statement about how he played football when he was younger (I assume this was before he became a member of the Choom Gang) and he may have even had a concussion. LOL - that would explain a lot, wouldn't it? This coming from the man who threw out a pitch in mom jeans that didn't e ...

We are taking a week's vacation at the beach with our children and grandchildren in June. We split the cost of a beach house. Everyone has a nice place to stay on the beach, much cheaper when cost is divided. Our 25th anniversary is coming up in October, and my husband and I would like to take a vacation without the kids. It will only be a 3-4 day stay over a weekend because of limited time off for both of us, and of course limited funds since we will be paying for everyt ...

The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday. They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We worked hard, ...

This evening, my daughter and I are staying over at my mother's because we are riding together and leaving early.

Never heard of this guy before. He sounds like quite a tool. He was listed #77 of "Most Important Talk Radio Hosts" by Talkers magazine in 2012. No big surprise there. Talk show host, Bill Press, doesn’t like the Star-Spangled Banner. Imagine: a liberal talk show that’s not on NPR! His radio show is simulcast on Current TV. Bill Press likes provoking conservatives, but I’m not sure we should be provoked by his outburst against the National Ant ...

Known as Trump LIES. The media is being shut down. This is the part of media that was transparent, the actual television or recording. As of June 5, the communications staff stopped referring to the briefings as a “daily” event in archives on the White House website. Spicer spoke with members of the media for 34 minutes Monday in an appearance that the White House barred from being televised or recorded. Even then, Spicer’s answers to basic questions in many cases offered l ...

Going off about Saul Alinski, community organizing thugs not voters, blah blah. I would welcome his candidacy because all that gibberish was judged by Americans last time and deemed rubbish. Mittens released tax returns. I dont expect much scandal, he seems to be upstanding in regards to the law, just personally carrion seeking. I think Newt is doing all this (with the aid of the Las Vegas guy with $5 billion) just so he can ride on that dang presidental airplane in the seat of ...
