Don't you miss the professionalism of past administrations?

In the past you may have not liked the administration in charge, but at least they were for the most part professional. They didn't demand questions ahead of time all the time, they didn't show out right disgust for being questioned. When something so important as a late night news conference came up they didn't postpone it for an hour to leak what it was about then have the conference full of misstatements and retractions. Uncivil discourse from the leader of the greatest nation on Earth continually blaming past admin, scarring citizens with fear mongering, belittling, demonizing whole segments of society.... just goes on.

Update:

Johnathon- my point exactly. While 0bama was soul searching for those 18 hours to make his decision, one that a professional would have made in 30 sec, Bin Laden could have got away.

Update 2:

I understand as a liberal you are too lazy to read the entire question, I said all the time. No, past admin did not screen all questions.

    Literally all politicans prescreened questions at press conference. You know nothing of history.

    BIN LADEN WAS A SHUT-IN, thus it was unlikely for him to have gotten away.

    People who were born in 2008 might agree with you.

    I remember Georgie "the decider" Bush and Dick "go f___ yourself" Cheney, so I won't fall for it.

  • The only one who misses the Bush administration is Osama Bin Laden who would still be alive.

    If you post stupid questions and then put your own rules on how to answer, why bother to ask. Just let the little voice in your head tell you what to think...

    Yeah I really liked it when Bush had to finish reading "My Pet Goat" before he could give his attention to the terrorists attacking America.
