who cares
if something isn't done now to restructure entitlements they won't be there in their present form for the next generation
grow up
Seeing how politicians in general like to give a long winded non-answer(or even a long winded answer to bury what they actually mean) instead of just a straight answer, maybe reporters should cut them off. You could ask a politician what his favorite color is and he or she would give a long winded non-answer on the importance of colors or some other bs.
It's been a couple days since I watched it, but I recall at least one occasion where the reporter interrupted the President. That's rude.
I guess I must've missed the memo that clarified that being an insightful, dogged and thorough professional required you to leave your manners at the door.
got any ideas?
Republicans are floating a wide range of major structural reforms that could be attached to the debt limit vote, including statutory spending caps, a balanced budget amendment and a two-thirds vote requirement for tax increases and debt limit increases.
Liberals want a “clean” vote to raise the $14.3 trillion borrowing limit.
The only time it looked like the reporter interrupted the president is when the president lied about the points he lost Texas by. Was he really supposed to just sit there and let the president make false statements without challenging him on it?
I don't care why the reporter did it. It's rude. You can nail the president on a lie without being rude.
As for lying how many points he lost Texas by, that could easily be him mixing the results from one state up with another.
What a child this man is. Thin skinned, and unwilling to be challenged in his answers to tough questions. In fact anyone remember during the campaign, reporters he didn't like the questions of somehow disappeared from the press pool?
This is a man that likes to 'control' the media and when he can't it rattles him. What a loser he is.
j-mac
i would want to see the unedited version of the interview, to see if the interviewer did interrupt the president's answers
what we do know is that the interviewer is manipulative. we know this by his insisting that Obama's comments reflected the president's dislike of his answers being challenged, when that edited video clearly describes Obama actually objecting to being interrupted
my speculation is the interviewer has an agenda to so wantonly misrepresent what the president said
notice how desperate the reich wing is, to trot this out. it is telling. they have so little to be able to criticize they must fabricate things to whine about
of course the 2012 republican nominee will be a shoo in ... too bad they don't have one
which of the 57 states did he mix up with Texas?
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.
I don't care why the reporter did it. It's rude. You can nail the president on a lie without being rude.
As for lying how many points he lost Texas by, that could easily be him mixing the results from one state up with another.
When "W" was president I had the same thought. I always believed he was a good guy. Someone I could go have a beer with and so forth. I disagreed with him politically, and would never, ever vote for him, but it was never because I thought he was an evil guy with thoughts of world domination. And I remember getting angry when my fellow Liberals would compare him to Hitler and other despots. Just like when Conservatives say that Obama is a socialist, calling Bush names was never productive.
It wasn’t rude. The president was just being an arrogant crybaby.
He was actually very polite. You still haven't pointed to where he was rude in the interview.
Obnoxious as hell.
That's why when New Yorkers move to Texas, they're so caught off-guard by everyone saying "hello" and waving to them when they're driving down the street. Most think we're making fun of them, when that's just what we do.
The guys I do business with in New York or just grade-A pompous assholes. And they don't even know it. It's like they're on an internet forum 24 hours a day, but in public. LOL
Could you explain to me when it stopped being rude to interrupt somebody?
Actually, how do we know. We only saw select cuts.
Well people love to sterotype the people of New Yawk but those people will have your back like no others. Can they be crass? Sure but you see what happened after 9/11! How they all banded together. Say what you will the people of New York are good folks. They may be loud at times or whatever but so what that makes em special
Sure, when someone lies or gets a number wrong, it isn't considered rude to stop them to correct the untrue statement.
That wasn't the question I asked. I asked you to explain to me when it stopped being rude to interrupt somebody.
I don't remember ever complaining about Bush and Helen Thomas. Perhaps you have a link? And how many questions did Bush ever actually answer?
J, this is trivial ****. Whinning unnecessarly. If you want an answer, let him answer. If you don't like the answer, ask the question again and specificy what you thought was weak. This is not hard. And this whining about the how mean Obama abused the poor report is just dishonest.
