Obama Abolishes the Press Conference

President Obama has held just one full length, multi-topic, solo press conference in the last six months, effectively abolishing the most accessible venue for American citizens to observe the thinking and learn the views of their leader.

It’s May, and the president has stood for only a single such news conference this year, a March 6 event in the briefing room. He’s had only three since last June, counting a November press conference in Hawaii that was supposed to be devoted to the just-held Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit but which veered off into other issues.

"More jobs lost under Bush than under Obama --"

Totally meaningless.....regardless of what the numbers are or who they "favor." The circumstances behind those numbers are so different it is laughable that anyone would compare them.

Yo, TROLL, will you s'plain this to me, since you are in tight with the BS'ers in power.

If 340,000 jobs were lost and only 115,000 created, how did the Unemployment rate drop another 0.1%.

Thanks for you time and consideration in explaining such complicated upper lever mathematics to this DUMMY.

"April's jobs report was, in a word, disappointing. The economy added only 115,000 jobs. Hiring slowed. More than 340,000 workers dropped out of the labor force."

The recession started when Bush was in office, you would expect more job losses then. The notable feature about this recession has been the very slow recovery, where heading towards Obama's attempt to get reelected and the economy still doesn't have a decent head of steam.
