Perhaps you think it's OK, even behind a veiled smile.
I do not.

But still, IMO, you should have posted it so it would have presented the situation, honestly.

And, to me, I have little problem with any one in public office telling the press to go **** themselves. The only people I have less respect of than politicians are the press.

I did present it honestly.
I simply left out one man's opinion.

As you state, you have no respect for the press. Why? Because too many have a political agenda?

Obama has a habit of this. Smile or no.
You think he didn't mean what he said? LOL... Come, come... let's not be naive.

Come on, zim. You're smarter than that. You were selective with what you posted, initially.

Too many have a political agenda. And their job is to sell papers. Presenting the truth is a far distant second to this. I'd like to know what happens, not what someone wants me to think happened.

I don't know. But I want all the information to come to my own conclusions.

CC, I did intentionally leave out the second part for the reason listed.

Let's look at the second part:

a smiling scold of reporters

BINGO!
That's precisely what I did.
Quote THE FACTS.
Obama's very own words.
What do they tell you?

I agree... the missing part of story is one man's opinion... also not too favorable as he describes it as a "scold".

See, I don;t agree, here. The part that you didn't quote was information.

" a smiling scold".

So you agree now.

Anyway you cut it he once again told the press how to do their job.
What to report and what not to.

To be fair it does put a slightly different tone on the conversation but has no effect on the result.

He doesn't have to tell them what to do; it doesn't matter. In a few months time the news media will be bailed out and then Obama will have his own publicity agency.

Hey Zimmer, stop posting stupid crap like this.

That was just as effective as Obama trying to tell the media what to do.
