Bull twinky on a stick, deep fried.

As if the right hasn't employed such tactics whenever they could. You righties appear to have an amnesia problem.

I'll say Clinton wasn't very autocratic.

Obama, Reid? There was a LOT more background in the papers when Bush was in office

Not really. It just shows that most reporters like to moan about access while sitting on their asses.

And you ignored it all, didn't you?

The drug and alcohol abuse, draft dodging, the swaggering dictator asserting his authority by screaming in an 80 year old womans face; "I'M THE DECIDER, HERE!" Sending 4,600 American kids to their deaths for a personal vendetta against "....the guy who tried to kill my dad."

All of that was fine with you, wasn't it?

Why? Because he claimed to be a Christian? Because his worthless party keeps promising you tax cuts and welfare reform, they NEVER deliver?

Honestly, I don't see how anyone can stand those phony bastards anymore. The sad part is that the Democrats aren't much better. So, here we are.

"Which White House do you consider more forthcoming with information for reporters: George W Bush's or Barack Obama's?

Bush 41%
Obama 5%
About the same 13%
Not sure 41%"

Boohoohoo?

It's also what I've seen with my own eyes. Background story info in the back pages of the Sunday paper's Section A are a lot less interesting than they used to be.

We kinda agree. Did I touch a nerve?

I was referring to foreign policy more than anything though. We did get tax cuts and welfare reform btw.
