Mr Gibbs, you told Helen Thomas that you'd deal |
|
with her question after you'd answered the previous one. What gives?

2. I really want to like Helen |
|
but she makes it hard when she attacks the President. I give her props for the bravery she showed during the last administration, but we are in a different time now. The President needs our support.

6. Your obsession with the President is |
|
unhealthy. We all love Obama but do you have any understanding re the number of presidents and press secretaries who have been asked tough and relevant questions by Helen Thomas. No President is above questions including Obama.

10. And if this were reversed... |
|
...say she was throwing softballs at Bush, you'd be saying the exact opposite.
Helen Thomas is exactly the kind of journalist we need in these times.

11. I am dismayed that there are adults who are presumably voting US |
|
citizens who openly advocate that the media should be adversarial towards one party and supportive of another, dpeending on who is in power.
Adversarial media is one of the very largest checks on growth of federal power in all areas.

3. The deal is that you tell people what they want to hear to shut them up, |
|
then you do what you want.
