HuffPost rigged question at WH presser?

[jman3000]

wow... srsly? did that one really go over your head that badly?

[jack sommerset]

Pretty sad I think. Reporters are suppose to ask the questions they want to ask not what the dirty politician wants them to ask. End of story. This will not be re-elected.

Seriously jack -- why do you hate the Iranian protesters?

Seriously jack -- why do you hate the Iranian protesters?

Because the Iranian who sent in that question was clearly a plant designed to both gloss the Administration and trash his political opponents by lobbing him softballs.

I mean really...check this out:

"Senate Democratic leaders have painted a very bleak picture of the U.S. economy. (Senate Minority Leader) Harry Reid was talking about soup lines. And (Senator) Hillary Clinton was talking about the economy being on the verge of collapse. Yet in the same breath they say that Social Security is rock solid and there's no crisis there. How are you going to work – you've said you are going to reach out to these people – how are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?"

oh, wait - my bad. Wrong quote from the wrong guy.

Here's the actual question:

“Under which conditions would you accept the election of Ahmadinejad, and if you do accept it without any significant changes in the conditions there, isn't that a betrayal of the — of what the demonstrators there are working towards?”

Piece of cake. He should be ashamed of himself.

This is such a non issue. The fact that it's being honed in on is pretty indicative of how petty some have become. Seriously, there's bigger fish to fry.

If he had asked him, "President Obama, if you could please give me a short list of why you are so great I'd greatly appreciate it". That would be something. Not this petty . They should be criticizing his answer as opposed to criticizing the cir stances as to which it came about.

Certainly bigger fish to fry but it's another example on how Obama manipulates the media. Can't wait for the healthcare info commercial on ABC. Wait...Does that make me a robot because cable news is telling me to say that? Or could it just be a ing marketing campaign to spend another trillion dollars on socialism.

He didn't manipulate the media in this instance. You just want to believe he did because that's the way you've been programmed. Beep beep beep beep.

You're saying that was a softball?



You're always good for a laugh.
