The self-described “most transparent administration in history” took another step toward self-immolation at the President’s press conference today.
Just moments before the press conference began, Huffington Post reporter Nico Pitney was personally escorted from the nether regions of the White House Press Room by deputy press secretary Josh Earnest. Pitney was awarded a prime spot just inside the barricade.
Miraculously, President Obama not only singled out Pitney for a question, but seemed to know exactly what the question would be, setting off alarms for all the other reporters present.
“Nico, I know you and all across the Internet, we’ve been seeing a lot of reports coming out of Iran,” Obama said. “I know there may actually be questions from people in Iran who are communicating through the Internet. Do you have a question?”
Pitney pretended to ignore Obama’s introduction and asked his question as if the President hadn’t tipped it: “I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you a question directly from an Iranian.”
Of course, Chris Matthews will say this just proves that the president has added clairvoyance to his other remarkable talents he has exhibited as The Greatest President In the Universe.

Obama can tap dance with the best of them…he makes Sammy Davis Jr. look like a one legged cowboy in a “butt” kicking contest! The press loves this guy, even when he’s asked a tough question….the press corps chuckles, laughs, these press conferences are starting to resemble a Chris Matthews. Keith Olbermann “tingle up my leg” contest. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours!
