To add to what Breitbart.com’s John Nolte tweeted: BAHAHAHA!
Perhaps it’s time for Politico to hire a copy editor who knows how to spell “softballs”? Here’s the story headlining Politico this morning:
Hard questions! Mr. President, red chiles or green? Any thoughts on Nicki Minaj’s latest release? Will you rub our bellies if we roll over in your lap?
@politico The hard questions are never asked.

Carrie Budoff Brown and Josh Gerstein offer a “cheat sheet of questions that the president is likely to face” today at his first real White House press conference since March. Real toughies like this one about weed:
So, about those new pot laws. Does the federal government plan to intervene in Washington and Colorado, which both voted to legalize marijuana last week?
Oh, and this one:
Do you believe the FBI should have told you and Congress sooner about the investigation that led Gen. Petraeus to resign?
As noted at Jammie Wearing Fools:
It’s simply not plausible he had no knowledge of the Petraeus affair. Yet this press corps wants us to believe Obama is so sheltered from reality he never knew a thing.
Politico suggests one question about why the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was “so lightly guarded.” One. Question.
The Twitterverse offers some more likely questions from the president’s palace guard media:
@NolteNC @politico "President Obama, would you characterize yourself as 'great', or merely 'outstanding'? "

@politico HAHAHAHA! Sure, hard questions! "How disappointed are you in General Petraeus?" "How awesome was your win?"
