Press conference is a joke until Obamacare question (now). Spicer is now stumbling [View all]

and stuttering and his voice is shaking. Claiming that everyone in the country was in danger of losing health care but the president's "plan" will fix all of that in a jiffy. When pushed to say a few things about the plan, Spicer fell apart, started laughing nervously, stuttering, sweating, looking like an idiot in way over his head. Otherwise the questions are SHAMEFUL! "How does Trump feel about women in the workforce?" "How will Melania decorate things for the governor's ball this weekend?" After a series of these ridiculously lightweight questions -- "what will Pres Trump do if Meryl Streep says something at the Oscars?" (I am not joking). Once again, Spicer and co are clearly choosing friendly press sources, and not one serious question was posed until the health care question.

Spicer cut that reporter off and is now back to calling on reporters whose questions are VERY friendly (the second slightly challenging question was just asked about Trump hiring only pro-Trump people but Spicer just word-vomited through it with zero follow up). Now he is trying to joke and giggle his way through a question about Trump's new executive order. Very lame.

A DUer was wondering about the infamous pro-Trump Russian Boris -- he is there in the press room, sitting in the front row (on the side in the front).
