Patrick,
Perhaps you could help me, because I'm not seeing it. What is "partisan" about asking a politician about supporting the President's political agenda? I mean, the President does have a political agenda, and the politician obviously supports it or does not. What would have been the "gotcha" moment? What kind of partisan ammunition could have been acquired from an answer of yes, no, or only part of it.
Well, admittedly I'm making a guess based on the way that they asked the question and the fact that they asked him while he was walking down the street. It is all part and parcel to "gotcha journalism".
