'Overexposed' Obama Begins to Duck WH Press Corps
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.

That's cause he is too busy reading about himself in GQ.
B.O.H.I.C.A.
He will duck more and more as time goes by - he does not answer real questions. Guess he found out he can't control the media can he.

He can't drag his teleprompter every where can he? If he's caught of the cuff without a prepared speech, he'll say things that will come back to haunt him like that white cop/black homeowner debacle. Will his words about KSM come back to haunt not just him but America should KSM be found not guilty because Obama already judged him on a news op.

Soooo, they're finally asking Dear Leader the tough questions? Awwww. No wonder Waxman is talking about "reshaping the media".

How long until the MSM turns on BHO? Can anyone tell me what the MSM got to be so pro BHO? It is the only thing I can't figure out. What does the MSM get for being in the bag for BHO?

Not able to lead, no experience running anything in his life. Now we are stuck with this clueless person.

Duck? He needs to hide. What a disgrace.

Amazing how thin skinned this guy is..... can't take any questions.... just read the teleprompter.... no one loves him anymore, boo hoo...
politically incorrect and unapologetic
you cannot expect a(soros) puppet to be able to handle a situation that is not scripted and rehearsed.
Obot Who?
This creep is as common as toilet paper - oops, that's an insult to toilet paper! I am soooooooooooooooooooo tired of turning on the TV, opening a magazine, etc., and seeing this puke's face!!!! Is it 2012 yet?!?!?!?

Not a good idea to bite the hand that feeds you!

Maybe this will prompt the lame stream media to go back to doing some actual reporting and try using the truth again. I can't say I'm saddened by his hiding and maybe now I won't have to change the channel so much just so I don't have to see his face or hear his lieing mouth. How about impeachment?..
Dave34
That's good.....now we don't have to indure anymore of his useless and boring TV appearances......three times a day....!!!!!

WOW! There is a God! But he isn't "ducking" enough, by any stretch of the imagination! He is not holding "news conferences", but his bad butt is always before some group spewing his usual political fables! I am expecting an prez edict demanding a statue of himself be placed in every town square by the end of his first (and only) term! As far as I'm concerned, the wrong BO is in office!
