Freedom of the Press... Obama Style.


CBS reported.....
There was some rich irony at the White House today -- President Obama signed the Press Freedom Act, and then promptly refused to take any questions.......

So after he signed the bill, and as the press "wranglers" began aggressively herding us out of the room, I asked if he still has confidence in BP. He ignored the question so I tried this: "In the interest of press freedom, would you take a couple questions on BP?"
That did elicit a smile, and he told me I was free to ask questions. Someone else shouted, "Will you answer them?"
He said he's not holding a press conference today as we were escorted out the door.
