It's taken a while, but finally the media has stepped up and asked Barack Obama questions, questions that matter to Americans, questions that simply must be answered. Well, one of those important questions anyway. But this is a big one. It could be the key that unlocks the White House front door.
As we zipped along Constitution Avenue, Jen Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman, briefed in the van on what happened inside Obama's Senate office building. She said he met only with staff and interns. "No members of Congress stopped by," she said.
Now the news: apparently there were a few Capitol Hill reporters waiting outside his office. He was asked by one whether he was a Rolling Stones or Beatles guy. "Stones," Obama reponded to a CQ reporter, per Psaki.
Whew, that's a relief. I was afraid he was a Wham! fan. Or, maybe he didn't mean "The Rolling Stones," but rather meant he's a Rolling Stone fan.
