Politico reports:
President Obama made a surprise visit to the White House press corps Thursday night, but got agitated when he was faced with a substantive question.
Seems to me like he expects the same free ride he got during the campaign. Combine this with the rehash of the old campaign site on the new Whitehouse.gov site… and well… Someone really needs to tell him he won, and things have “changed.” Read the whole story at Politico here, and watch the footage for yourself.

I don’t necessarily think it’s wrong for him to say “hey, I came down to just say hello, not answer questions”, etc. It will be interesting, however, to see if that particular member of the press is still part of the press corps a week from now or if the question he asked will get a straight answer at the next press conference.
