I don't agree with your view of Andrea Mitchell. However, she isn't the only reporter who has publicly commented upon the Obama bubble, and the unprecendented lack of press access to a travelling US senator in Iraq.

Nowhere did I say Obama and Bush are the same. I said they share the same positions on certain issues. That some people interpret that to mean (in their mind) that I said Obama and Bush are the same, doesn't mean I am stupid or insane, as you and the other gentlemen suggested with your nasty responses.

As to the link you provide to Fox News, I don't find that to be a credible reason for the press blackout.
