well, I think that Ebony is our press, maybe not press you read, but it is our press anyway. Teen Beat? Did he really take a question from them? With the age of internet, does it really matter who he takes questions from? Everyone will report regardless. (psst...did you ever stop to think that if he had the questions in advance that he took the ones that were easy and the hard ones were from "your press" and he didn't take those?)

^^^^ not dense




(except when he disagrees with me)

^^^^^not clear

Ebony is 'our' press and is not foreign. BF just included it because it's press targeted towards African Americans.

I highly doubt BO took questions from Teen Beat (althought I can't say for certain). BF was just trying to mitigate his racism from his post regarding Ebony. That I can say for certain.

But I'm sure that I'm taking this all out of context.

My husband said he would start to answer a question, never finish the question, and then change the subject to the talking point he wanted to make.

If he keeps ignoring major media, they are going to get just a wee bit pisssed at him I would think. We'll see what happens.

Not wanting to speak for BF, but I am assuming that he means that Ebony is not one of the 'usual' media outlets that past presidents have responded to. I can understand BO responding to a Black media outlet; it makes sense, and although I don't know anything about the magazine, my perception is that it is more entertainment focused, but I'm most likely wrong. I still would think that he would reply to a Black media outlet that is more news focused.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enough already. BF said he didn't take questions from OUR press. He's already stated he meant the news media on that. He said, and I quote, he did take questions from the foreign press and Ebony. He didn't say Ebony was foreign press. He did imply and later expand on the fact that he doesn't consider Ebony part of the US press. Seriously, do YOU? He made no racial slurs so stop trying to stir something up, ok? There's enough in BO's appearance last night to discuss without this sidebar.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Ladies, ladies.... the B_F speak for himself.

It is much more amusing

I'm not stirring anything. You're taking things out of context, TR.

But given his track record of prior postings regarding race, well those speak for themselves, and I bet (and I'm a betting man) the example of Ebony was intentional. jmo.

And yes, I do consider Ebony part of the US press, as is The WSJ, Rolling Stone, MTV news, and any other US based press. It's certainly not foreign press.

donde esta el periodico?

En el bano, srta.

por researcho?

Que pasa?

I thought his last question was from Faux news?

It was the question from CNN that defined the whole evening!

And that was???????????

The difining moment of the whole evening. Sheesh, keep up!

No, your being an ignorant fool. My post regarding Ebony has nothing to do with racism. You're the one trying to make it racist. My post is about not allowing the New York Times to ask a question, i.e. the mainstream media, but yet he's going to monthly periodicals and foreign press instead.

Another reason it was a cr@ppy analogy!

::pats the poor horse on the neck::

I thought we were talking about werewolves?

Do you think he'll have a "win a date with Obama" contest and be on the cover of Teen Beat, much like John Candy's character in Stipes was on the cover of Tiger Beat with the same win a date contest? That would be awesome!

I doubt it, since Michelle O is fighting rumors that she's prego.....
