    From the page: "â€oeNico, I know you and all across the Internet, we've been seeing a lot of reports coming out of Iran,” Obama said, addressing Pitney. â€oeI know there may actually be questions from people in Iran who are communicating through the Internet. Do you have a question? And the kabuki theater continues Pitney, as if ignoring what Obama had just said, said: â€oeI wanted to use this opportunity to ask you a question directly from an Iranian.”"

    From the page: "Reporters typically don't coordinate their questions for the president before press conferences, so it seemed odd that Obama might have an idea what the question would be. Also, it was a departure from White House protocol by calling on The Huffington Post second, in between the AP and Reuters." I wouldn't put it past Obama to script his press conferences especially with the press so willing to 'help' Obama succeed. I can imagine they might give up their tradition freedom to ask any question in order to make the president look better.
