Morphine Prince 109,661 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 President Barack Obama ended his final press conference of the year by giving reporters something to talk about. He answered eight questions, from eight female reporters. Though the president did not announce that he’d be calling solely on women, the move seemed deliberate as he passed over the typically attention-grabbing front row of mostly network TV correspondents to hear from Politico’s Carrie Budoff Brown, Cheryl Bolen of Bloomberg, Julie Pace with the Associated Press, Lesley Clark from McClatchy, Reuters Roberta Rampton, the Wall Street Journal’s Colleen McCain Nelson and Juliet Eilperin with the Washington Post. As the press conference came to a close, a male reporter asked about the president’s New Year’s resolutions. Obama ignored him and called on April Ryan from American Urban Radio, who had a question about race relations.

SEVDALIZA 1,274 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Could be a coincidence, or he could be empowering women reporters. I don't know, hard to tell what's going through his mind operating from another world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,380 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I don't get it. The article says he just ignored the first rows of attention wh*res which apparently were all male. So this wasn't conscious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey 3,017 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 If that was on purpose, how dumb. "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J. Trump Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster 2 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 It's likely an example in reference to discrimination. "Why didn't you answer my question" no reason other than stuff you cant change. Too bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
