The Zeleny Question: Smart or Silly?

May 1, 2009 By WHC Insider

NY Times WH Correspondent’s Question at Obama Presser Provokes Big Reaction Online

During the president’s televised press conference on Wednesday night, the NYT’s Jeff Zeleny asked Barack Obama what had “surprised, humbled, enchanted, and troubled” him the most about the job, now that he was 100 days into it. Zeleny’s colleagues laughed, perhaps not in a complimentary way, and the online world zeroed in on whether the question was, as one site puts it, “brilliant or BS”?

Three takes from: MediaBistro, Christian Science Monitor and New York Magazine.
