It depends on the journalist. Some are extremely professional, some are complete assholes.
Isn't it appropriate to let someone answer, completely answer a question when you ask one? Why ask a question if you don;t really want a complete answer? Sounds like what you would find on a politicakl board where the person asking the question only wants the answer they've created in their mind.
He hasn't behaved like a president since he took office, why would you expect him to behave like one during an interview?
Believe me, I know exactly what you're saying and agree with you... Why do you think I said Obama should have taken a page from George Bush's book on how to deal with hostile members of the media?
I see no problems calling Obama the filibuster king on his lies. You had no problem with it when it was Helen Thomas interrupting Geo Bush, now it is a problem....I see.

But its shows he's human and we can't have a president who is human! :shock:
Put this statement back in the early 2000's and you'd be a Bush Republican my friend.

Where's that line? I mean don't we want tough questions being answered? Or are we happy to hear full paragraphs in response to a yes or no question?

You can try and get answers to tough questions without being an ass. And besides, rarely any tough question is a yes or no answer. Tough questions need long answers because the question tend to be complex and the different parts needs to be addressed.
they have so little to be able to criticize they must fabricate things to whine about
To be fair, President Obama is sometimes given to long-winded answers. I remember one time it took him 17 minutes to answer some college kid's question. I don't think that's what happened here though.
yes, dubya was so effective with the reporters:
Agreed he does at time give long answers. However, I would rather be annoyed that the answer was a minute or two too long, rather than just a ten second answer.

If any of you want to see an interviewee REALLY go off, just watch President Clinton's interview with Chris Wallace on youtube.
Or Wesley Clark going off:
I just picked these vids cuz I love when libs have balls (which happens all too rarely). I mean, I dislike Fox news too but I just like to see a good smackdown

Basically, the president is going to try to explain his thinking and defend himself and a biased journalists doesn't want to hear that BS, so he interrupts him.
I really don't think this president has done anything 100 percent wrong or he is a bad person... The president has to make tough decisions, and he has to defend them. You might not like how he defends his decisions or his reasoning, but because this is a free country, you're not going to be killed or punished for disagreeing with the leader. But to think this president is a liar, a secret Muslim, socialist, and Kenyan who secretly wants to destroy America is just stupid and insane, and the epitome of ignorant.
Some idiots really think the president is all bad and no good... If they hear the president explaining himself like a decent human being, guided by morality and good intent, then that entire bogeyman image might be shattered and idiots on talk radio might have less doomsday BS to scare people about.
