Helen Thomas bashes...Obama?
Many never thought they'd ever see the day that Helen Thomas took someone else besides George W. Bush to task.
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs got absolutely ripped by Chip Reid and Thomas, alleging tht Obama knew the Q and A's ahead of time.

Thomas revealed more frustration in an interview with CNS News:
“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try. “What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”
Thomas said she was especially concerned about the arrangement between the Obama Administration and a writer from the liberal Huffington Post Web site. The writer was invited by the White House to President Obama’s press conference last week on the understanding that he would ask Obama a question about Iran from among questions that had been sent to him by people in Iran.

“When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you,” Thomas said. “I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well–for the town halls, for the press conferences,” she said. “It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.”

I heard this on the radio this morning, but thanks for posting the video. If the press is at odds w/ Obama, we'll see how long it takes for the public to follow suit.
I think Gibbs will be gone in a little while. And maybe a cabinet shakedown of sorts. The Prez is not really in control; he's told what to do and say, Biden is the VP 'plant' on the job. Those 'behind' the WH are much more powerful and linked to a "Bilderberg" agenda, whatever that is. Don't know more than this at the present.
