SAN ANTONIO, Tex. - An exasperated Barack Obama scurried away Monday from the toughest news conference of his campaign, telling reporters who kept shouting questions that he'd spent enough time on the grill.

"Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions," Obama, looking surprised, told shouting reporters as he fled the room. "We're running late."

The Clinton campaign has long complained that Obama gets soft treatment from the press corps. But Monday's exchange was no pillow fight.

The first question was about a private talk an Obama economic adviser had with a Canadian official - reportedly saying that the harshness of Obama's criticisms of the North American Free Trade Agreement was for political show.

Last week, Obama denied an initial media report about the conversation. But after a Canadian government memo surfaced, he acknowledged yesterday there was a conversation.

"When I gave you that information, that was the information that I had at the time," he said. His camp still disputes the memo's account of the discussion.

The questioning then turned to Obama's links to ex-fund-raiser Tony Rezko, who went on trial in Chicago Monday on corruption charges. A reporter asserted Obama hadn't fully answered journalists' questions on Rezko.

Obama insisted he had - during a past news conference with Chicago media. But another persisted that questions remain unanswered, such as ones about fund-raisers Rezko held for him.

Obama replied, "These requests, I think, can just go on forever. ..." He said the "pertinent" information had been provided.

When Obama declared the press conference over, one reporter yelled that he was dodging questions just minutes after claiming he wasn't.

Barry better get used to it. By the time the Clintons and/or the GOP machines are done with him, he'll be lucky to keep his Senate seat.

This is just the beginning.

No kidding. He thinks the MSM crowd is rough now, he ain't seen nothing yet.

Thing is, I've listened to a couple of his speeches...and they are totally hollow...no substance.

The man really doesn't have a clue.

We know it’s time to time to restore our Constitution and the rule of law. This is an issue that was at the heart of Senator Dodd’s candidacy, and I share his passion for restoring the balance between the security we demand and the civil liberties that we cherish.

The American people must be able to trust that their president values principle over politics, and justice over unchecked power. I’ve been proud to stand with Senator Dodd in his fight against retroactive immunity for the telecommunications industry. Secrecy and special interests must not trump accountability. We must show our citizens – and set an example to the world – that laws cannot be ignored when it is inconvenient. Because in America – no one is above the law.

It’s time to reject torture without equivocation. It’s time to close Guantanamo and to restore habeas corpus. It’s time to give our intelligence and law enforcement agencies the tools they need to track down and take out terrorists, while ensuring that their actions are subject to vigorous oversight that protects our freedom. So let me be perfectly clear: I have taught the Constitution, I understand the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution when I am President of the United States.

Is it hollow to call for closing Guantanamo, restoring habeas corpus, and starting to observe the Constitution again?

Link to Obama's speech.

Every politician says this, but how many actually believe it?

Sorry, I don't think he'll end the war, close Gitmo, or any of the hundreds of other things he'll promise while campaigning.

It's not that I dislike the man, it's just that I don't believe a word he says...too many politicians have uttered the same words, and look where we're at.

There is only one politician I trust, Dr. Ron Paul. All one has to do is look at his record.

Well hell no they won't say it...they're both perfectly happy in maintaining the status quo.

McCain has already said he'll maintain a presence in Iraq for '100 years' and Hillary...well...who knows what that crazy bitch will do.

Meanwhile, Obama says it.

Maybe that says something about his not being perfectly happy in doing that?

Yeah, well Obama is saying to rescind NAFTA, but in Canada, his spokeman is quoted as saying Obama doesn't really mean it.

Perhaps the spokesman is not really his.
