At Obama's Press Conference Today, Not a Single Reporter Asked About Marijuana Ballot Initiatives

In case y'all were wondering, the journalists who attended Obama's press conference today found it prudent to ask the president if he wishes he had known sooner that Gen. Petraeus is a slut, whether movie critic/U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice will be nominated to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, if he will bomb Iran, and what he plans to do about the "situation" in Syria.

Petraeus is a slut, whether movie critic/U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice will be nominated to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, if he will bomb Iran, and what he plans to do about the "situation" in Syria. 

The assembled journalists did not, however, ask Obama about the "situation" in Colorado and Washington, because it is more fun to ask the president about time travel and warmongering than reality.

Who gives a shit that two sovereign nations within the confederation have taken a step towards ending prohibition? That shit ain't important. What's important is Emperor Hussein I the Munificent's grand schemes for assorted third-world shitholes in Asia.

Given Obama's past responses, maybe they just didn't want to get laughed at.

[sarcasmic]

He would have dismissed such a question with mocking laughter anyway. What's the point?

No, because most journalists are craven statist-fellating shitheads who would rather stick their hand in a blender than ask questions that make politicians uncomfortable, shine light on the vicious, undying hypocrisy and venality of the state and its rulers, or even remotely lose potential access to the scumbags they follow around like gossip reporters shadowing Paris Hilton.

$20 says MSNBC comes out with a photograph of Emperor Hussein flexing his triceps and spends two weeks fawning over how hot and modern and sexy he is.

"Hey buddy, we can read the Director of the CIA's emails. What do you think we can do with you?"

[Episiarch]

"Well, FBI morons, unlike the seemingly retarded head of the CIA, I know how to use PGP. So fuck you. Read this (grabs crotch)."

[Tim]

"Let's talk about your kitten problem, shall we?"

[Episiarch]

That was entirely consensual, just ask Warty!

[nicole just can't even!]

The FBI does not take kindly to your mansplaining ways.

[$park?]

You know who else was a time traveling warmonger?

[Res Publica Americana]

NERO!

[Episiarch]

Jean-Claude Van Damme?

[Tim]

Michael J Fox?

[Kaptious Kristen]

The T-1000?

Napoleon Bonaparte in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"?

Although Barack I didn't miss the opportunity to float the carbon tax. I'm telling ya, its coming, and I think there are better than even odds that it becomes part of the New (Fiscal) Deal.

It lets the Repubs say that they voted to reduce the deficit (with all that new carbon tax revenue) without raising income tax rates, so they'll bite. And the Dems, of course, will be delirious with joy.

[Res Publica Americana]

Then half the states are definitely going to secede. A carbon tax is so retarded, it defies the laws of comprehension.

[Tman]

So much for that natural gas fracking boom that is somewhat preventing a full blown depression at this point if they pass the cap n scam.

[NoVAHockey]

I had dinner with a few energy lobbyists last night -- some of my league of evil colleagues. They would concur with that. But they're also of the "fuck it, let's just shut down and watch the system crash" mentality. I don't think they were joking.

[Ayn Random Variation]

Since we're made of carbon and can travel from state to state............

[entropy]

You're a tax?

"Nice WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS credential you've got there...."

When legal marijuana starts having sex with a top administration official then maybe you'll get questions. Besides, Obama has said all along that marijuana should be legal in those states so there's nothing to ask about.

[Ayn Random Variation]

I love how he got all gangsta today while defending Rice.

Hmm, a black woman. How can the Dems possibly pass up on being able to play the race card AND the War on the Wimminz card in 2016?

[R C Dean]

Lindsey Graham had a nice response, basically "Well, she either lied or she's incompetent. And, yeah, we do think you're responsible for the clusterfuck in Benghazi, Mr. Tuff Gai."

[CE]

Doesn't Reason have a reporter at the White House? Why the heck not?

[Belgian]

Because he asked a question that made Obama uncomfortable.

[Hyperion]

Of course not, they are trained not to embarrass their master.

[Juice]

We don't want to know about whether the US military will be going into Syria. No, we don't want to know about the prospect of bombing Iran. We want to hear your opinion on weed, man.

The revolution will not be broadcast by Rapit Murder, Fux News.
