The “Press Freedom Act”
President Obama signed into law yesterday the “Press Freedom Act”. This makes the State Department have to add a summary of press freedoms in other countries in addition to other things the State Department reports on.
I wonder if the State Department will be monitoring press freedoms in the United States. If they are, we are off to a poor start as President Obama would not answer any questions after meeting the press about the “Press Freedom Act.”
This is where President Obama and I are different. I would have shown that America is the champion of press freedoms. I wouldn’t answer every question, but I would try. I cannot answer how I feel about the officer who arrested me on Sunday because my attorney advised me that saying, “He’s missing a few doughnuts in the head but made up for it in the body” could be used against me in the coming trial. I also can not talk about what I did on July 17, 2007 because I promised Angie Baumowitz I wouldn’t talk about our romantic escapade.
I will be able to talk about my policies, regardless of controversy. Some have questioned if I should do that since I am going to deal with national security issues. My answer to that is I will run a country that will not need to do things in secret.
I am thinking that President Obama will hold his press briefing on the “Healthy Foods Act” at a fast food restaurant. He won’t be able to field questions because he’ll be chowing down on two double cheeseburgers.

My favourite police officer comeback is:
Officer: Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?
Me: Your eyes look glazed, have you been eating donuts?
LOL Yellowcat, but I don’t think I can use that in a trial either.
