Harry Smith Can't Resist Asking Barack Obama Softball Questions About His Dog Bo & Golfing

[6/23/09] Harry Smith's Softball interview w/ Barack Obama contains this gem of a setup to yet another silly, lame question: "People in the mainstream media have been accused of being afraid to speak truth to power and I've got some truth to power...I've been observing your dog looks like he's out of control."

Finally, Harry you have the President's ear/time and you ask questions like this. You, along w/ others in the Media like Brian Williams, should be working for Obama's White House press office. You could then do all the glossy, cotton candy interviews that your heart desired and wouldn't have to pretend to be a member of 4th estate, which is suppose to be a check and balance/watchdog on our government.
