WTF? The press seems really miffed for being put on a plane with no Obama...

Some of them keep talking about "We HAVE to shadow the candidate 24/7--that's how it's always been done." For his own good, or something? What part of "They wanted PRIVACY" don't these people understand?

1. Ha, ha. Obama punked the press!

[Bicoastal]

2. This isn't as funny as one might think.

Punk the press one time too many, and they'll punk you back within an inch of your life!

[TheDebbieDee]

4. Sometime between now and November, the ba$tards will

punk him regardless. Don't worry about provoking them..........

[truebrit71]

5. Screw the presstitutes...I like it...they are a bunch of whiney little punks...

...and they need to beg for forgiveness for not having down their fucking jobs this past 7 1/2 years..

[Cha]

29. Right..that's another thing I want changed

in these coming years.. "The US mediawhores" who gave us bushites and the War ON Iraq. Obama's not going to be bowing to their craven needs.

It's not like when bush was selected twice which can be traced straight up to corporate mind control.

[Hansel]

10. Not if they want to get back on that plane they won't. eom

[hokies4ever]

21. They deserved it

They've been pestering them incessantly nonstop sometimes, often with very unfair assertions.

[Teaser]

22. They *love* to be abused

Seriously, the Bushies never gave them *any* access and screwed them constantly. They're masochists, and only respect those who hurt them.

[futureliveshere]

3. Obama is the "Change Agent" here. He is not going to do too much of "thats the way its been done"

These guys should get this through their skull. They were behaving like spoilt brats in a chocolate store. Good to keep them on their toes!!

[K Gardner]

6. Good lord, what whiney babies. Do they want to go to the bathroom with him, too?

[L0oniX]

15. Yea ...they can hold his pee pee and wipe his butt for him. Geeze

Screw them.

[Youphemism]

7. Here's what they really don't understand...

Almost everyone -- democrats, republicans, anarchists, whatever -- loved watching them get left in the dust like that.

Listening to them whine about it only makes it that much more sweet.

No, there will not be a media backlash against Obama. These were just whiny reporters who just realized they were about to go through a news cycle with no story.

Tomorrow, they'll be back on his heels, squabbling like seagulls for breadcrumbs, each trying to be his favorite.

8. Its sort of like watching a Lawyer get shafted...everyone cheers!

And yeah, we ALL thought it was funny.

14. Screw them

They haven't been journalist in years. If they were journalist the Iraq war lie would have been covered before it became unpopular.

[vaberella]

16. in all fairness to Obama...the way these guys have been portraying him, they deserved it!

24. I have actually. I'm talking about the way he's basically hounded once he shows up. IT's like

there's no chance for a braether at any moment. And I think these meetings might be seriously private meetings that couldn't wait and it was the mistake of this guy that he allowed them to jump on the plane.

26. FUCK THEM, THEY ARE WHORES

they don't give a shit about other families when they cheered on the monkey creature's war and still continue to defend that asshole.

[Youphemism]

27. Don't be silly....

The first thing they would have done is hop in their cars and try to find them. I don't think you doubt that.

It's true that Obama probably won't do the same thing again. There's no point in trying to make enemies of the media.

But I haven't heard anyone comment on how this once again demonstrates how smart he is:

What better way to get off to a good meeting with Hillary, who is very upset with the press, than talking to her about a bunch of confused reporters being hijacked to Illinois?

[AlinPA]

30. It's nice to see those pigs get embarrassed. They have been tough on him with all the

Wright, Ayers, crap day in and day out. Misled? They are the ones chasing after him. I can't see any problem with giving the paparazzi a hard time once in awhile.

[AlinPA]

31. Who pays for their airline tickets? Were they invited by Obama? It has always

seemed odd to me that they claim a right to be on the plane with candidates.

[AllentownJake]

11. Screw the Hyenas

You let Bush lead is into War. End of Message.

[Brigid]

12. I thought this was hilarious!

:rofl:

[L0oniX]

13. They have been punking him by fawning over McLame all this time.

Fuck them. Let them go have tea with rev Wright.

[vaberella]

17. Could it be a private meeting with Hillary, that's why they needed to go on a different plane.

[DevonRex]

18. He'll make it up to them and more. He's charming and nice.

Even has those Secret Service guys eating out of his hand and I can tell you from personal experience, senses of humor are NOT what they're known for.

Obama will most likely organize an event just for the press on that plane, just like he did for some of the SS guys who were with him from the beginning.

[Hutzpa]

20. lol... they missing their Daddy

so they're crying, its alright... they'll get over it.


:D

[rainbow4321]

23. What whiners....."but, but, everyone has always catered to us

and we reward them by being their lapdogs.....waaahhhh..waaaahhhh"

STFU...looks like the "rules" are changing...get used to it.

[NotThisTime]

28. I think it's funny as can be....

They've fooled the American public for far too long, why should Obama and Clinton given them the time of day in regards to this?
