Obama Already Having Issues with the Press … Media Frustration

Obama already having issues with the media? He does realize they worship him and are brought to tears by his mere presence. Now after having the MSM in his hip pocket for the past 2 years, Obama looks to treat the press in a rather interesting manner.

Interesting start for new press secretary Robert Gibbs. Eesh, and these people like Obama, no wonder GWB never got a fair shot. Watch the confrontation with media.

Didn’t Obama say that this was going to be the most transparent White House ever? Hmm … hardly seems so now does it as Obama looks to limit press access.

Obama Flashes irritation to the press, ALREADY??? Watch the video at the Politico. Talk about not ready for “prime time”. When will Obama learn the enormity of this job and the goofing around and one liners with reporters is not part of the job.

President Obama made a surprise visit to the White House press corps Thursday night, but got agitated when he was faced with a substantive question.

Asked how he could reconcile a strict ban on lobbyists in his administration with a Deputy Defense Secretary nominee who lobbied for Raytheon, Obama interrupted with a knowing smile on his face.

“Ahh, see,” he said, “I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can’t end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I’m going to get grilled every time I come down here.”

BIZARRE: Dad of Tot Mom Casey Anthony, George Anthony Goes Missing, Later Found … ‘Wanted to End His Life’

Has the pressure, lies, deceit, guilt and Casey’s despicable act become too much for a grandparent to bare? Why would George Anthony want to end his life?

Just when you thought you had seen it all in the case of murdered Caylee Anthony and indicted tot mom Casey Anthony. After months under the microscope and the pressure cooker, George Anthony, the grandfather of murdered Caylee Anthony appears to have cracked. Yesterday, George Anthony failed to show at a family meeting with their attorney. Of all things possible, Orange County Sheriff’s Office reported that George was missing. Police would track cell phone pings to locate George Anthony. Anthony had sent text messages to his family that said, “he wanted to end his life”.

Daytona Beach Police Chief Michael Chitwood said George sent text messages to his family that he wanted to end his life. Chitwood said George told him that there was a lot of pressure on him and he needed to think.

George was Baker Acted, or involuntarily taken to Halifax Hospital where he is being evaluated. At this time, George has not been admitted as a patient at the hospital. He was personally driven to the hospital by the police chief.

George Anthony was taken into custody on Thursday after being earlier reported missing. Detectives found George Anthony at the Hawaiian Inn Hotel in Daytona Beach at 2:30 a.m. ET Friday. He was taken into custody under Florida’s Baker Act for a psych evaluation.

Timeline and what transpired with George Anthony’s disappearance.

Caylee Anthony’s grandfather hospitalized, possibly suicidal

The exit question is, why would George Anthony feel the need to not want to go on? Just yesterday in another document dump, it was shown that Casey Anthony joked about drugging Caylee to get her to sleep. How much does George Anthony know and has guilt finally gotten to him?

UPDATE I: George Anthony Remains Under Psychiatric Evaluation; Grandfather Text Messaged That He Wants To Be With Caylee

Investigators said the eight-page note indicated George Anthony was at the end of his rope, and that once he was gone, his family would have a better life. He wrote about how strong his daughter, Casey Anthony, is and said he doesn’t believe she hurt her daughter, Caylee.

However, he did make dark, veiled references to his daughter’s friends.

George Anthony also wrote in the letter that his wife, Cindy, could do better than him. He also wrote about his son, Lee Anthony.

UPDATE II: ‘The Worst Situation You Can Imagine’

Actually the worst situation one could imagine is living with the guilt of of knowing who killed your grand daughter and doing nothing to provide justice for Caylee.

VAN SUSTEREN: Well, you and I discussed last week when — when we were down in Orlando, I mean, sort of how complicated this is for the lawyer because you’ve — on the one hand, you’ve got to do the legal business, but there’s so many collateral issues, including the pain of these grandparents, who have not been accused of doing anything wrong to that grandchild. It’s a terrible situation for them, isn’t it.

CONWAY: It is the worst situation that you can imagine. And they are doing the best that they can. But you know, try to put yourself in shoes like this, and you just can’t. You just cannot imagine a situation where your only daughter is charged with the murder — first-degree murder of your only granddaughter. And they raised and took care of Caylee Marie as though she was their own.

Caroline Kennedy Out … Enter Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand as Gov Paterson’s Pick to Fill Hillary Clinton’s Senate Seat

It seemed that Caroline Kennedy was the odds on favorite to fill the Senate seat vacated by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Then suddenly Caroline Kennedy withdrew her name as speculation arose. The New York Post is reporting that according to a source close to Governor Paterson, Caroline Kennedy never had a shot due to issue over taxes, her nanny and possibly her marriage. We knew something was not right with Caroline’s abrupt withdrawal announcement.

In the end it turns out that Caroline was “not ready for Prime Time.” As Hot Air stated, they counted at least 7 trail theories floated as the reason for why she quit. So much for Camelot III, over before it ever began.

Kennedy was “mired in some potentially embarrassing personal issues,” the source said, citing tax liabilities and worker compensation liabilities connected to the employment of a nanny.

The source also said the state of her marriage may have presented a problem as well.

“She has a tax problem that came up in the vetting and a potential nanny issue,” the source said. “And reporters are starting to look at her marriage more closely,” the source continued, refusing to provide any specifics.

Ted Kennedy’s Circle Upset by Caroline’s Awkward Exit

With Caroline Kennedy’s departure from consideration, it appears that New York Governor David A. Paterson is ready to make his pick. It is being reported by WPIX that Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand will be Paterson’s choice to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton. Personally, I would have thought Paterson would have gone with Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. Although there is pressure to fill Clinton’s seat with another woman. The Gillibrand choice is already causing the LEFT to go nuts as Kirsten Gillibrand is a supporter of the NRA, heaven forbid.

One of the contenders, long-term Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney canceled a scheduled appearance on “PIX News Closeup” Friday because of a “conflict,” which she did not disclose. She too will be in Albany. According to the sources, Gillibrand, now in her second congressional term, is favored by Secretary of State Clinton herself. Paterson has been under pressure to select a woman.
 
With most Democratic leaders in Albany coming from the New York City area, one source said this would be an important move for the Governor to have a Senator from upstate. Sources say Gillibrand, a blue-dog Democrat and a good fundraiser,  would be an asset to Paterson in any bid for election in 2010.

UPDATE I: DAVE PATERSON PICKS GILLIBRAND AS LIBERAL DEMS GO INTO HYSTERIA

It’s official, Kirsten Gillibrand is the new junior Senator from New York.

A note to the LEFT, every one who runs or gets picked for a position in the Democratic party does not have to be a bed-wetting liberal. I thought your party was supposed to be one big tent, not a monolith of moonbats. News Busters asks whether the MS will label incoming NY Senator as ‘Maverick Democrat?’

The big question now is if Gillibrand will be “educated” by Senate Democrats to change her views to become more liberal or will she continue to irk them by being a maverick? According to NewsDay, Gillibrand didn’t “moderate” her views after she won her Congressional seat.

The surprising – and, for many Democrats shocking – decision to pick the conservative Gillibrand, 42, from Hudson in Columbia County, was disclosed by the governor in calls to party officials and some members of the state’s congressional delegation, many of whom said they were unhappy with the selection, sources said.

UPDATE II: GOV SAYS CAROLINE KENNEDY TURNED ‘NASTY’

Gov. Paterson rapped Caroline Kennedy at a private event the night before he tapped Kirsten Gillibrand for the Senate, telling guests Kennedy had been “nasty” to him and shown “disrespect” with how she bowed out, attendees told The Post.

Possible Link Between Vernon Seitz Case and Daniel “Danny” Barter Missing Persons Case

On December 15, 2008, Vernon C. Seitz, 62 yr old white male is found Dead on Entry appearing to be of natural causes.  On December 12, 2008, Dr. Victoria Fetter, Seitz’s licensed psychiatrist contacted MPD to discuss her patients intent to confess to a homicide he was forced to participate in,  following an alleged abduction, sexual assault  and torture by unknown subjects.  Mr. Seitz states he and another victim were abducted while on a family outing to Racine Zoo on June 19, 1959. There is no report of this incident or any remotely similar incident on file and It is the opinion of MPD this never occurred .  Upon reading initial press on this incident, I prepared my own investigative article provided below.

• Part I: Shave, Haircut and Child Porn … The Barber of St. Francis, Vernon C. Seitz
• Part II: No Connection to Other Pending Cases, MPD Closing the Case. Nothing to See Here; The Barber of St. Francis, Vernon C. Seitz
• Search Warrants and MPD Inventory Report to Date

Upon further research I note the article where the psychiatrist references the date for the first time, of Seitz’s alleged account, as June 19, 1959. This date immediately sparks my interest as I had been profiling possible links to this case by cross referencing missing children cases of boys, of which Seitz appeared to posses an alarming interest.  I reviewed the data regarding the missing person’s case for Daniel Barter:

Daniel Barter has been missing from Alabama since June 18, 1959. Daniel was last seen playing near the banks of Perdido Bay where he had gone camping with his parents, siblings and other relatives. Daniel reportedly disappeared from the campsite while his parents were preparing some fishing equipment. Daniel did not like water; therefore it is believed that he would not have gone into the bay voluntarily. An extensive search for Daniel ensued immediately, but he has not been seen or heard from since that time.

From several various online sources, the following supplemental information from the Barter family should be considered:

Daniel was holding a bottle of Nehi; the bottle was never recovered at the scene. In any scenario other than abduction, based on the exhaustive search, this would have been recovered.

Mrs. Barter recalled a man sitting outside their home in Mobile on separate occasions. One incidence his footprints were located outside of Danny’s window. Both incidents were based on eyewitness accounts.
While at the store in Lillian the morning of the abduction, Danny and his brother were in the car while Mrs. Barter ran into the store. A man pulled up next to them, appeared to do nothing but watch them, did not exit to go to the store, and then left. The older Barter sibling remarked to Mrs. Barter upon her return to the vehicle that the man was just looking at them, but obviously made him uncomfortable.

Daniel was dressed in only gray Boxer shorts which he wore to bed the previous evening, when he disappeared.

Bloodhounds repeatedly followed his scent to the road.

From Seitz On Scene Recovery

In addition to referencing to Mr. Seitz account and date-specific statements regarding abduction and homicide, the following items were recovered from the scene that may be relative to the Barnet case. Although PIO Anne Schwartz has stated publicly that Seitz’s property in Racine, inherited from his deceased Mother Mildred in 2006, has been searched, there is no public record of a warrant for same. Additionally, there is no indication of a warrant for any vehicle owned by Mr. Seitz :

There were 4 freshly dug dirt piles, or evidence of apparent ground disturbance, on Mr. Seitz’s property. According to weather analysis on December 10, the last known witness account of Seitz being alive, there was 13” of snow on the ground already, therefore the ground would have been very frozen:

A cassette tape and cassette video marked “kidnapping of a 4 ½ year old boy”.

A black and white photo of a boy, white male, holding a fish, with “July 1959” handwritten on the back.

A letter from the White House. The Barter’s had strong Washington contacts and received a letter from J.Edgar Hoover at the time of the abduction.  Did Seitz have a copy?

Significant amounts of Child Pornography, hand drawn maps and missing children’s cases posters and maps with circles indicating various locations.
