Obama’s Messiah Facade Cracks As He Storms Out Of Press Conference
It’s not easy when the media starts treating you like a political candidate instead of a savior.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas—Led by the Chicago press corps that has covered Obama for years, the candidate today faced a barrage of questions in what turned out to be a contentious news conference.
Questions centered on why his campaign had denied that a meeting occurred between his chief economic advisor and Canadian officials as well as questions on his relationship with Tony Rezko, a Chicago land developer and fast food magnate, now on trial for corruption charges. . . .
Toward the end of the press conference, the question of Goolsbee’s meeting was raised again. Obama answered curtly and then walked out after a staffer called last question. The press erupted with shouts, but Obama continued to walk out. . . .
On the flight from San Antonio to Dallas, Obama, unsurprisingly, did not wander back to make small talk with the traveling press corps.
It’s like watching a little boy learning for the first time that Santa Claus doesn’t exist.
