Jeez, if Oduma knew he was going to do that then he should have notified the press ahead of time so that the male reporters wouldn't have wasted their time and energy attending the press conference.

Is Oduma biased against male reporters?

Didn't you even bother to watch Oduma's press conference?

I would think that a person who wants to be informed about what is going on in this country would at least have watched Oduma's press conference.

I don't care so much about the gender of the reporter as long as they're asking hardball questions. An issue arises when someone like Katie Couric asks obama his favorite color and tries to pass this off as probing journalism.

Dude, it has nothing to do with asking hardball questions.

For some reason Oduma didn't call on one male reporter during his press conference.

I'd like to know what that reason was.

It is hard to take posts seriously when "Oduma" is used.

Yes it does, dude. Gender shouldn't matter if pertinent questions are being asked.

Would you have been as aware of the gender discrepancy had he called on men exclusively today?

Couric always asks harball "gotcha" questions. Remember when she totally blindsided Palin with "What do you like to read"? That was harsh.

Did you feel the same about the posts made by Lefties who referred to President George W. Bush as "Dumbya"?

Palin's performance during that interview was borderline pathetic. I think she went into it with a chip on her shoulder and was ill prepared and it showed. She didn't like Couric and would have been better advised to skip the interview altogether.

Are you asserting that Oduma accidentally called on only female reporters?

Yes, I always notice the "gender" of every reporter Oduma calls on during his press conferences.

No, it was no accident. But I doubt if the reason for doing so would prove to be very interesting.

He did notify the press beforehand.

Here's a link about it:
