I wrote about this earlier, when Joe Scarborough and his panel made fun of Barack Obama’s lack of intestinal fortitude with the White House press corps. ABC’s Jake Tapper and Mary Bruce aren’t laughing. In a detailed account of Obama’s distance from reporters on the White House beat, Tapper says that his interviews with entertainment reporters from People and Entertainment Tonight “disses” White House correspondents:

 

 

President Obama hasn’t formally taken questions from the White House press corps

in more than two months

, while on the campaign trail in Iowa yesterday he made time for reporters from

People Magazine and Entertainment Tonight

.

 

His last news conference was at the G20 in June, when he answered six questions from three reporters on the European debt crisis,

the conflict in Syria

, and the notion of

politics stopping at the water’s edge

.

 

The White House press corps has not formally been given the opportunity to ask questions of the president on U.S. soil since his appearance in the Briefing Room on June 8 (when he said “

the private sector is doing fine.

“)

His last

formal White House news conference

was on March 6.

Some might say that posting such a picture and alluding to Obama would be an offense to his religion.
