Why is the President always asked by the media to repond to other democrats screwups

DOUBLE STANDARD Allen West makes a crazy statement about democrats and the media doesn't ask Romney about the comments BUT every time a democrat says something they consider out of bounds Obama is always asked to respond http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/12/obama-hilary-rosen-being-a-mom_n_1422036.html

To insult him. They won't ask him about policy. They act like he's not POTUS, but only a candidate. freshwest Apr 2012 #3

and our country and is good for a sane comment.

Republicans don't have a leader. Just liars masquerading as such.

The combination of faux noise and hate radio has enable the rushpublicans to amp up talking points and poutrage in a hurry. This was a classic example. Most of us hadn't even heard Rosen's comments and the radio was already playing the soundbite over and over and faux was jumping up and down. It was a desperate attempt to deflect attention away from the rushpublican's dismal record on woman's issues and the massive damage done during the primaries. This was the first attempt to try to protect Millard and go after Democrats...Rosen's remarks was the catalyst to set off the poutrage. If it wasn't her it would have been someone else.
