1st Amendment(Freedom of Press)


Source:"Why reporters are down on President Obama" April 29, 2010

Constitutional Connection: First Amendment:"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...or of the press"
Analysis of the Connection: On the URL, that is cited above, above says that the press used to like President Obama, but fell out of love with him because he is not keeping his promises. The press stated "Day-to-day interaction with Obama is almost nonexistent, and he talks to the press corps far less often than Bill Clinton or even George W. Bush did. Clinton took questions nearly every weekday, on average. Obama barely does it once a week. Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0410/36454.html#ixzz0mWWOIw00." I really do not believe that President Obama would have tried to forget about them because he is mean. He may have just have been very busy, and didn't have enough time to have a press conference with them. He has a lot of more responsibilities than most of the other presidents. He came in to be President of the United States of America at its lowest time. The United States is in dept with other states and cities and has no jobs for the people who is legal to live in the United States. On top of that illegal immigrants are coming over to the united States and making it harder for us to get jobs. So, after all of that stuff to deal with, I think that President Obama doesn't have a lot of time to spend talking to people. The press needs to get over the fact that they are not a lot of attention, they are not little kids. They do not need one-on-one attention.

  2. Thanks.! The reporters are mad because they are not getting enough time from President Obama to ask questions about the world today really.
