13. I remember when we sent roses to Helen
I think it was helderheid that spearheaded the project.

I want to see President Obama (damn, that's nice) say, "Yes, Helen, may I take your question please?"
Then when she stands up, (if she is able) I would hope the entire gutless, spine-less, Bush enabling, ass-kissing WH Press Corp, would rise to their feet and applaud her.

I remember when Helen looked around the room with disgust and asked, "Where is everybody?"

They should hang their heads in shame.
Drum-beating, war-enabling, chicken-shit fucks.

2. I'll bet money he will.

President Obama is fully aware of the bias of Fox News, and no doubt this man is also aware of what the White House etiquette has been in regards to Ms. Thomas before W came along.

3. It's time the adults are back in charge in Washington.
Seeing Helen back in the briefing room would be icing on the Obama presidency cake!

4. Agree. That will be a fantastic day. Helen Thomas deserves that respect that W took from her.

7. I do too
And her stock is going to drop through the floor around here when she gets tough with him. No matter, she'll be good for him, he'll be good for her, and we'll all win, for once.

19. Send her roses to the press room
And, for the same occasion, send the White House correspondent for FoxNews a lump of coal.

21. I am SO in on that!
We need to do our homework.
First...find out when the presser is and then determine if Helen feels well enough to attend.

Would there be security problems having roses delivered to the briefing room?

Oh, how sweet it would be to see the chicken-shit enablers stare at their shoes when the flowers arrive!
Especially "Stretch" Gregory, who's usually the first to laugh at BrushCo's stupid, pathetic jokes.

24. You know she must be elated that Obama is our next President
I can just see it, Helen asking President Obama a question and President Obama answering her and doing it with the respect she deserves. Its good days in the making for America once again.

31. I agree. Helen Thomas is a great American
She stood up against Bush when nobody else would. Got an e-mail from her sometime back. I really like her.
