9. Crowley often makes me shudder . . . |

But that wasn't such a bad question (who knows, maybe Obama is foolish enough to fall for such a blatant confidence-buster) nor a bad answer.

When she re-stated the second part of the question, she said "absent what you heard...," but she meant "in light of what you heard..."
Basically, she wanted to know, "Now that you've seen what the president has seen, were you wrong about things? Will you have to reconsider campaign positions?" Maybe she wanted to know if now he thinks we'll have to stay in Iraq longer after all, something like that...

Is everyone going to be "Candy" and "Jeff"? Must the President be on a first name basis with the press? And when did that start , exactly?
I haven't watched a presidential news condference since at least Clinton, but I just saw "Virtual JFK" ( documentary) and it was "Mr. Vanoucer" and "Ms Thomas", not "Helen" and "Sandy".
Call me crazy but I don't want the press in bed with ANY president... even Obama.

25. Why didn't she just ask what she really wanted to ask? |
|
"Is there any way you'd be stupid enough to tell me at a public press conference what was in your top secret intelligence briefing?"
To which one proper answer might have been, "No, I'm not that stupid, and I'd appreciate not being taken for being that stupid in the future."
But Candy Crowley has been playing kissy-face with the Bushies for 8 years, and is probably badly out of practice when it comes to serious journalism.

37. I'm glad that she asked. |
|
It was a test to see how wishy-washy or strong the new President will be.
One time in an interview he was asked something about a leader lying to the public. He said, in effect, that you should always be honest. And if you can't answer honestly, you should just refuse to answer the question.
Good advice to follow. When Presidents lie, they can often get caught up in the unreality that they've created and start to believe it themselves.

.......old ass hole on CNN, Bill "shithead" (I can't think of his name right off). "Candy" (ughhhh!!!) Crowley is about as biased as they come. Surprised she's not "working" for Fox.

34. Not for me it ain't. She is VERY OBVIOUSLY Republican biased. |

Have you never seen (or looked) at what EVERYONE of the "Liberal" persuasion has been called by all these Neanderthals? I am in no way condoning what they have done over the years, nor am I condoning "we" do the same thing, but a pig is a pig whether it has lipstick or not, I believe that was ONE point that was settled in this campaign.

44. I think the reason he laughed is because he was thinking of the joke "If I told you I would have to |
|
kill you". It just looked like that was what he was thinking but decided he probably shouldn't joke about it. His smile was awesome!
