Speaking of “the media’s role in recent years as an arm of the Obama press office,” as Ross Kaminsky so aptly put it earlier today, did anyone catch the loving treatment Mr. Obama received from CBS during halftime of last night’s NCAA basketball finals? To be sure, he did look a bit lost without his teleprompter while trying to respond to CBS’s analyst Clark Kellogg’s tough questioning. And he did look rather runty in the presence of Kellogg, a towering former NBA and Big Ten star forward. Yet it also amounted to four minutes of adoring advertising, it would seem. I’m surprised CBS didn’t have the president place a call to the winning team when it was all over.

What interview? I got up and fixed some snacks...You mean OHB had a rare interview at a sporting event and I missed it? Must have been my lucky day.

Besides, who cares?

Be careful about the "teleprompter" reference as Romney uses one as much as Obama. The difference is that Obama is actually a writer while Romney says what is given to him because he always says the wrong thing when he speaks off the cuff. And you almost never saw Reagan give a speech without one.

As for the the "interview".... as KYFAN said so well... who cares?????

Obama a writer????? Do you still believe that lie? That clown couldn't write a high school research paper. You can easily tell that he doesn't write jack crap. Those two books of his were written by other folks and you KNOW IT. Just read some of the evidence of it...it'll be very easy to see.

Why the hell else do you think we don't see anything ELSE written by him...or any of his previous works???

There is a reason even beyond his own narcissism that both books he "wrote" were about him....it's because they were designed to project a personna of him for the idiot public to vote for.

By the way...Reagan was not given a hard time about teleprompters so much...it was the NOTE CARDS people used to hound him about....WE don't care about Romney either, so save it.
