This is huge for internet reporters, and especially progressive internet reporters.

what crimes did Reagan commit? if you are going to make an accusation like that you should back it up with some facts.

Republitards don't like lazy, careerist reporters like the White House Press corps much less smart, principled journalists like Sam Stein. Republitards only like extremist right-wing male hookers like Rich Gannon asking questions.

Baby Jesus only loves Liberals.

Obama takes a questions from the Huffington F-ing Post. A new low, which I am confident will be surpassed in no time.

COME ON!!! I hope we get alot more reporters like him! Instead of the "reporters" whose sponsors decide what questions are asked.

I hate to say it but Obama looks truly shocked to be asked a hard question. It's disappointing, that should be the purpose of press conferences.

Meaning... "My administration is not concerned with any war crimes committed by the Bush Administration". B. Hussein is a PUPPET, too!

Geez- Cheney went on televised record as approving and authorizing the water-boarding tactics used at Guantanamo Bay. That man should be tried for war crimes immediately!!
