Obama Signs Freedom of the Press Bill...and Refuses Press Questions
Irony alert of the day...Barack Obama signed into law a bill requiring that the State Department in it's annual human rights reports include descriptions of press freedoms in each of the 200+ countries around the world, yet refused to take questions from the lapdogs of the White House Press Corps...During the past campagn, Mr. Obama promised to establish a transparent government...and yet hasn't held a press conference in months...

The last time B HO went off 'prompter with the press he made the Skip Gates/Crowley gaffe. His puppet-master Axelrod has banned him from press conferences until he proves that he doesn't need the 'prompter to stay on message.
You can expect tough "gotcha"-level questions the next time he is allowed to take them.
I suspect that he won't hold one any time soon. He keeps the press at arms reach...and they allow it to continue. I also think that they'll do what they did last time and demand that questions be put in writing...1st. Just as he did during the campaign.
If Bush did what this man is doing they would be screaming bloody murder and demanding his impeachment.
