But Obama held daily press conferences and didn't kick the press out. You cannot have such an unknown and then a vacuum. The people and media will fill it with speculation and be anxious.
No double standards here
Our standards appear out the window and meaningless to me. We just elected T-Rump.
Good thing Trump is calming our nerves on twitter. What a president-elect! (freaking surreal)

uuuuuh huh!
Obama went on a 3 month long Def Comedy jam tour after he got elected and wouldn't talk to any press that asked him questions that didn't fit with his optics.
Obama has given only 4 SOTU addresses in the 8 years he was in office. He even walled himself in and shut out his constituents when they stopped laughing at his stale jokes

People aren't freaking out about how long it's taking Donald Trump to name cabinet members. They are freaking out over who he is naming.

Why is everyone telling Trump what to do? Butt out and suck it up.

And then he disappeared after taking office.
I thought the media so was wonderful and important to have around to help people keep things in perspective. Maybe they should be more like "It typically takes many weeks for a cabinet to form." and "With Trump basically a third party candidate who hijacked a major party, he has a bigger hump to climb in his process"
Instead of "Is it this guy who went up the elevator or the other guy? ZOMG! The Janitor went into the elevator! Is Trump going to make Tyrone Jenkins the Assnt Secretary of Health and Human Services? What a clown!!!"
Media is soooo honest.
No double standards here....nope....
