President in Training Apologizes to Nancy Reagan
JammieWearingFool —
... spoken to all the "living" presidents. "I have spoken to all of them who are living," he responded. "I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any séances." Warm admiration, my ass. Ironic, isn't it, how he lamely invoked Ronald Reagan's name wherever he could during his campaign, then goes out of his way to throw a cheap shot at a woman who just broke her hip. Meanwhile, the petty trainee avoided Fox News during this "press conference," giving his press secretary Nedra Pickler the first question. This childish obsession over Fox News is really beneath the ...

... Wisdom and judiciousness were not exactly evident when the
President-elect
forbade FoxNews from asking a question at his press conference.
Was this accidental? Perhaps. But if it was deliberate, then the

the part of FoxNews, they would do better to engage the
news company rather than shun it; shunning Fox only serves
to augment the presence of right-of-center folk on the
news channel, which of course would do nothing to ...
The Obama Presser
A Chequer-Board of Nights and Days —
... and being the ever-so-cheery optimist that I am, I will trust and hope that the absence of the adjectives "wise" and "judicious" from the statements of the President-elect will not necessarily signify an absence of those qualities in the actions of the President-elect. Of course, the President-elect is not a Messiah. He is just another politician. So perhaps I should brace myself to be disappointed. Wisdom and judiciousness were not exactly evident when the President-elect forbade FoxNews from asking a question at his press conference . Was this accidental? Perhaps. But if ...
