For someone who loves the spotlight, Obama has been cautiously avoiding his once beloved news conferences. The Washington Times explains:
After months of what some critics called overexposure, President Obama has of late avoided questions from the White House press corps at large, closing the Oval Office to traditionally informal question-and-answer sessions with reporters and pulling back from the fast pace of news conferences he established when taking office.
The president, whose job-approval ratings have been on a steady slide, hasn’t held a formal news conference in 19 weeks, since July 22. That one ended badly, when Mr. Obama waded into a racial controversy by saying a white police officer “acted stupidly” when he arrested a black Harvard professor.
I guess it’s not hard to understand… afterall, the more he talks, the worse his approval ratings get… but it just goes to show you that this guy, so obsessed with his image, is starting to realize that he is his biggest liability.
Worse yet, after delaying and delaying and postponing and postponing and avoiding and avoiding making a decision on Afghanistan, he finally decides to make his formal announcement at the same time “A Charlie Brown Christmas” was supposed to air.

zer0 is on tv and the radio more than kim jong ill for crying outloud, this light weight empty suit really thinks he is something else.
He should stick to handing out I pods with his speeches on them and just STFU for ten damn minutes.
I am soooooo sick and tired of this turd (racial epitaph not intended)
He ought to keep Gates away from the press, too.
……………………
When asked by Fox News’ Major Garrett what the White House thought about the ClimateGate scandal, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said: “On the order of several thousands of scientists have come to the conclusion that climate change is happening. I don’t think that’s anything that is quite frankly, among most people, in dispute anymore.”
Later, Lester Kinsolving of WCBM Radio out of Baltimore, Maryland, asked Gibbs if he was “aware of the list, the published list of 31,000 scientists who oppose this idea of global warming.” He added that 6000 of these scientists have PhDs.
Gibbs responded that “there’s no real scientific basis for the dispute of this.”
………………….
Now, I don’t know if Gates is smart enough to have set up a defense by claiming that he meant that THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING rather than man-made climate change, but I doubt it. The two phrases are used interchangably, and it can lead to confusion. Yes, the climate is changing. It changes all the time. But the question is, of course, whether man’s activities are causing these changes. And that theory is the center of the debate.
Gates’ response is so typical of the Warmers—”my mind is made up, don’t confuse me with the facts”.
The man actually stood there and said that the scientific opinions of 31,000 scientists, 6000 of which have PhDs, do not constitute a “..scientific basis for the dispute…” of the Warmer dogma.
But then, who are they gonna send out—Biden?
YIKES! Neo, old buddy, I think you mean “epithet” as in a title or name (or sobriquet for you Warren Zevon fans) and not “epitaph” as in an inscription on a tombstone.
Amazona,
It’s called “weather” where I come from. But, to your point, Gibbs; the gift that just keeps on giving.

and not “epitaph” as in an inscription on a tombstone.
Hmmmmmm :)
Count, I know, I know—Gibbs is such a delight. For a while I thought maybe they hired him to reward Scott McClellan for turning on Bush—-only Gibbs could make McClellan look like less of a doofus. But McClellan’s “expose” was so lame and toothless, he could have been paid off with a cents-off coupon for Taco Bell, so there has to be some other reason Gibbs has stuck around so long.
Though he IS a perfect reflection of the competence of the Obamnunist regime…..if by ‘competence’ you mean utter cluelessness.
Yeah, we’ve got ‘weather’ too, but then I learned that it is only called ‘weather’ when it is cooling off—when it is getting warmer, it is “climate change”.
Sorry. That is CLIMATE CHANGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (You have to fill in the shrieks of terror in the background…)

Freudian slip??…….nah cant be-can it?
What? No formal press conferences in 19 weeks? Oh, the outrage! This administration is the most secretive in history!
Just trying to illustrate what the kooks did for eight years…
What?
Obamateur avoiding the press? Is the honeymoon over? Obamamania on the decline?
or
Is the teleprompter malfunctioning?
