But the principal reason reporters remained in their seats, he said, was not to block the shot of TV cameramen and still photographers in the back of the room who were trying to make a picture of the president’s walk-in.
No disrespect was intended for President Bush and to the best of my knowledge none was taken.
In addition, it only takes about three steps for the president to reach the lectern from the press room door. He’d be ready to begin and many reporters would barely be out of their seats, which used to be further complicated by swivel desks that had to be shifted out of the way.
When some reporters stood up for President Obama last Friday, they forgot about the needs of their colleagues in the back of the room as well as the less formal atmosphere of the briefing room. Certainly it was a sign of respect for the president, but not one of disrespect for his predecessor.
It was President Obama’s first time at the briefing room lectern since taking office and for some new members of the White House Press, it was their first time seeing a president enter the room as well.
Ed Dantes wrote:Is this the most b.s. explanation ever?Perhaps, but it seems an odd comparison when President Bush gave many press conferences and Obama has had only one so far, according to the quote. Is it known that nobody ever stood for Bush, even at the beginning of his presidency? Has it been stated that standing for President Obama will become standard procedure?

Has it been stated that standing for President Obama will become standard procedure?No, you're right in the sense that I don't know if the press stood for Bush early on in his presidency. They could have. I just think the, 'we wanted to give cameras a good shot with Bush, but we forgot about that for Obama' explanation is b.s.
