I'm sure Obama rembers all the members of the press who lived in his ***. The Washington Press Corps are his *****s.
Isn't this guy supposed to be fixing the economy? Enough with the television appearances already. Get to work!
And as to Cronkite not letting us down, the reporting on the Tet Offensive wasn't exactly top-notch, was it?
A great man has just died. The President was only acknowledging that. Now if he took the time to record a few words about Michael Jackson, then I would have agrred with your harsh comments about him. He is doing his job. Just not as quickly as everyone would like.
