Obama Is Upset That American Press Does Not Bow Down & Thank Him… Even Though American Press Does Bow Down & Thank Him
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, November 15, 2010, 8:21 PM
Poor, President Obama.
The ObaMessiah is upset that American reporters do not bow down and thank him.
But wait… American reporters do bow down and thank him.
So what exactly is President Obama whining about?
NewsBusters reported:
President Barack Obama is peeved with the American press. They never say “thank you,” he whined to journalists in Japan on Monday.
According to the pool report from the press conference, one reporter said “Thank you, Mr. President.” Someone said the reporter was Australian.
“I knew it must have been an Australian because my folks never say thank you,” Obama said.
At that, the entire American pool said in unison — admittedly with a bit of sarcasm — “Thank you, Mr. President.”
PM Gillard could be heard chiming in, “There are a few cheeky Australians here.”
At first glance, Obama’s comment reeks of arrogance. He seems to think that press access is a privilege, not a right, and that he is under no obligation to even speak to reporters.
Maybe Obama wants the Obama-loving press to start licking his boots.

Practical Jane commented:
WOW – Is He Serious?
Not informing America about his Black Liberation Theology, his communist mentors, his ties to ACORN, his ties to Rezko, the way he got elected in Il, his 57 states, his mia birth records, mia college records, etc, etc, etc, etc……
THAT’S YOUR ‘THANK YOU’ U GOOBER

Now that would be one funny SNL skit! (up until Helen Thomas came on stage and licked his boots)
TimDC commented:
What a pathetic excuse for a “President”; and I say that in complete disdain for the man and his position.
Never before has the leadership of this country and of the free world been so tainted with utter incompetence and subject to such narcissistic self agrandization as we have seen in this piece of crap from the underbelly of Chicago’s West Side.
gus commented:
What are they supposed to be THANKING HIM for?? Seriously. Are they supposed to TIP him too??
patman commented:
It’s all about the Won.

I thought it would be a funny parody if Williams bonked his head on Zero’s Codpiece while cartoon sparrows circled. The progressives I passed this funny to acted as if I had deficated on a holy shrine, except they are all morally bankrupt and have no idea what holy means anymore…
Muffin commented:
SO, not just Obama’s “Safe School Czar” is a pedophile sympathizer, looks like TSA is having widespread problems as well. Where can a family go nowadays?
Muffin commented:
..ha yeah I just watched the clip, that goof winked and blew Obama a kiss too, that’s what it looked like to me, that and Chrissy Matthews tinkly-leg – some people just shoulda stayed in Canada

What a low class A-hole.
Dave-O commented:
I’ll be happy to say “Thank You, thank you Mr. President” . . . . . just as soon as he announces his resignation.
bigL commented:
I think the East Germans must have taught him all this psyops stuff in Pakistan when he went
missing for that yr plus the “What-Me-Worry” smile.
That prob is where he got the pronouciation for ‘Pock-ee-shtahn’…
Can’t you just hear the East Germans sending him off:”Vell, Herr Obama,ve vill return you to
“Pock-ee-shtahn” so you can return your familia…

Ginger #1–I think after his next trip the only place left on earth for him to go will be his “hometown” of Kenya. (Michelle’s words–not mine)

bigL commented:
TimDC, you have to stop hiding yr feelings, and let it all out!(HEH)
But seriously, Obama is very dangerous and the Press is really responsible for a lot of this.
And,imo, they are socialist-marxist fellow travellers with Obama, all of them. so just keep it up
Brian, you are not fooin’ any one. For if we get Sharia here you are the first one to the firing squad by yr buddies.
NC Cop commented:
Nice. He trashes the very people that got him elected.
Keep stepping on your d*ck, Obama. You’re the gift that keeps on giving the whole year round!!
gus commented:
The Press is exclusively LIBTARD DREAMERS. They are not CRITICAL THINKERS. The one skill they need, is not one they possess as a group.
tammycracker commented:
What an insufferable jerk this President is.
And so are his toadies.
justasimplepatriot commented:
This guy is going to come apart at the seams. After a lifetime of “whatever-you-do-is-wonderful” he is being held accountable. This is totally uncharted territory for this no-load*. He has no emotional or psychological reserves to deal with this.
It is clear he likes the status of being President but not the work. He is a 40+ year old adolescent who has only begun to throw a hissy-fit tantrum.
*A no-load comes from naval aviation. To test the aircraft carrier catapults, they fire the shuttle down the track with no airplane attached. Lots of noise, steam, motion but it accomplishes nothing. Remind you of anyone?
Joanne commented:
Thanks for what? Obama is evil and insane. I suppose when he starts killing the far right ‘extremists’ – the enemies of America, he will expect to be thanked too.
bigmike commented:
Wait ! For about a hundred years, the ettiquette, was that at the end of a PRESIDENTIAL PRESS conference one of the reporters TRADITIONALLY would say “THANK YOU ,MISTER PRESIDENT! Even someone from the OTHER FREAKING side of the planet KNEW this! That’s why the Australian reporter ( the rube ) knew this! How long has it been since this tradition has been IGNORED? Since CLINTON?
gus commented:
Bigmike!!! Tell us more!!! Tell us about how the “press” showed respect to G.W.Bush.
Tell us when this “tradition started”. One or 2 links would suffice. But I digress. The thing you and the “press” don’t seem to “get”..it…..
The “PRESS” slobbered unquestioningly, over this LOSER. LOSER SQUARED. The Press never once asked the simple questions,never mind the tough ones. Such as. “What qualifies this man to lead America and it’s Armed Forces? What “skills”, what “talents”, what “abilities” does this man have? Where are this man’s “Records”. What are his “Achievements”. Who has this man “associated himself with”.
bigmike commented:
GUS! Relax, I’m on your side ( believe it or not ). The next point I was going to make was the one you just made about the MSM showing NO RESPECT to GW! There was even an ettiquette as to which reporter WAS GIVEN THE FREAKING HONOUR of saying, THANK YOU , MISTER PRESIDENT! I believe it was supposed to be the most senior of the regular reporters assigned to the beat. Being able to see on live TV, one of the MSM have to say, to newly elected PRESIDENT SARAH PALIN, “THANK YOU MADAME PRESIDENT”, is a little dream that I have!——not an American, but still someone who enjoys watching her “KICK ASS”. She has been quietly gaining support across ALL DEMOGRAPHICS over all the planet in the last two years ( except the mooslims ), a lot of “THE PLANET”, would prefer to have SARAH in “THE BIG CHAIR”, as BILL WHITTLE calls it.
Andreas K. commented:
Poor Obie. What will he say when he realizes that his visit to Japan is NOT headline news in the Japanese newspapers? GDP growth and, of course, the leaked Coast Guard video of the Chinese ship ramming the Japanese Coast Guard vessel, those are the headlines these days in Japanese newspapers.
Obama’s visit barely made it into “Business” in the Japan Times. Asahi Shimbun, not much better. Mainichi Daily News is very silent about Obama.
Obama’s visit to the Great Buddha in Kamakura was also a bit of a flop. Only some 50 people lined up to buy some Obama-styled icecream near the Buddha.
sandy commented:
I just found an article on Drudge from Reuters which states that Obama is going to run to Europe this week to reassure those nations that although weakened he is still a strong leader. Couldn’t he just call?
So Journalists don’t say thank you to Obama? Sorry BO journalists just cover you they don’t cover you with flowers.
BigAlSouth commented:
“At first glance, Obama’s comment reeks of arrogance. He seems to think that press access is a privilege, not a right, and that he is under no obligation to even speak to reporters. ”
Well, I glanced a second and third time and I’m pretty sure Obama’s comment “reeks of arrogance.”
OKay. A fourth glance.
Yeah, it’s arrogance.

…and these leaders, a lot of them, aresupposed to be friends and allies. they can’t stand him-Obama. As the big Kahuna in the world economy we are supposed to act responsibly I would think and not act like buccaneers roiling the economies of the world for nothing. Juat a by-product of sinking the USA per orders to Obama. Because Obama reads what is handed to him. He does not know anything on taxes or economics or financials or really much , If we saw some courses that he had taken in school… but thanks to fellow-travellers in the media-socialists or worse-all of them,everything is covered up. Thx you crooks-msm. Laugh it up.

Brian Williams — the ultimate empty suit.
Doug Wakeman commented:
What Bam Bam is complaining about is that not every single news outlet grovels at his feet. The totalitarian cannot abide a single voice of dissent. A house of cards will stand forever in a sealed vacuum, but can be brought tumbling down by a butterfly.

I’ll personally thank him when he and the first gargoyle buy a one way ticket out of the U.S. in 2012

With all the bowing going on, bammy and brian better be careful of whiplash!
Great video.
Jim commented:
It’s the other way around. BO should be thanking the press for carrying water and covering for him during the first 2 years of his term.
And he should really be thankful to the press for PURPOSEFULLY not vetting him during the 2008 campaign.
Stuart commented:
Wah, wah,wah, friggen wah. The press doesn’t say thank you.
Consider yourself lucky.
At least they don’t say f***you like they do to conservatives.
Walt K commented:
Start licking his boots!!!! What do you mean start? The boys and girls of the old media are suffering from a terminal case of dry tongue already. Obionekablabby wants them start kissing his posterior….more that is….. than they already do. Watching Brian Williams always leads me to ask if his sense of taste is seriously affected by all the brown stuff on his nose. They have reached the point where quite a few of us just find their performance a comedy act rather than a news service.
