28. This is the way it has always been. Reporters have always yelled out questions to a POTUS

after he speaks and is walking away without asking questions or has taken questions and is done and walking away. What happened yesterday had nothing in common with anything like that. I honestly believe that having a black POTUS encourages disrespect from the RW. Racists fill that party. I can't think of another reason that they show so much disrespect to the office of POTUS.
