In reply to the discussion: Sam Donaldson Rejects Comparison To Reporter Who Interrupted Obama [View all]chelsea0011
(10,222 posts)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.

That is PURE horseshit. Donaldson always waited until Reagan had finished speaking.

I seem to remember Reagan's team had Marine One rev up the engines to drown out questions.
