Barack Obama Prescreens Reporters at Press-Conference - WSJ.com

About half-way through President Obama's press conference Monday night, he had an unscripted question of his own. "All, Chuck Todd," the President said, referring to NBC's White House correspondent. "Where's Chuck?" He had the same strange question about Fox News's Major Garrett: "Where's Major?"

The problem wasn't the lighting in the East Room. The President was running down a list of reporters preselected to ask questions. The White House had decided in advance who would be allowed to question the President and who was left out.

He's probably the most choreographed / scripted president ever. It's almost like a Hollywood production the way he has gone about this.

Of course.

I'd be willing to wager he isn't the 1st President to invoke the ''You'll ask the questions I approve or you'll be ignored'' itinerary....to say the least.

Strangely enough, Major Garrett's question was the only real question posed to him, but like the other 12 questions, Obama didn't answer it.
