The President should start reading newspapers

Why does the press allow the President to say such silliness without challenging him?

This quote is from the President this morning.

From Think Progress

When that storm came by, a lot of people said we dodged a bullet. When that storm came through at first, people said, Whew. There was a sense of relaxation. And that’s what I was referring to.

And I myself thought we had dodged a bullet. You know why? Because I was listening to people probably over the airwaves say, The bullet has been dodged. And that was what I was referring to.

Of course, there were plans in case the levee had been breached. There was a sense of relaxation at a critical moment.

Who said we dodged a bullet? Funny how I couldn't find anyhting like that in any of the newspapers...maybe he should pick up reading.
