[Peace-discuss] A High Hard One From Helen Thomas

[C. G. Estabrook]

[A good comment from another list.  --CGE]

At Obama's press conference last night, it was nice to see that Helen can
still bring the heat. He was sailing smoothly through what amounted to a
one-candidate debate, giving long-winded wonky answers to everything,
until she asked, "Do you know of any country in the Middle East that has
nuclear weapons?"

It was the only time he really seemed rattled. The best he could come up
with was "I'm not going to speculate."

"I didn't ask you to speculate," she appeared to be saying when they
jerked the mic away from her.
