Obama interrupted by heckling reporter
politico ^ | 6/15/12 | BYRON TAU and DONOVAN SLACK

"Why’d you favor foreigners over Americans?” Munro asked.

“Excuse me, sir, but it’s not time for questions," Obama responded.

“Are you going to take questions?” Munro asked.

“Not while I’m speaking.” Obama said.

Obama eventually addressed Munro's question.

"This is the right thing to do for the American people," Obama said.

"As a general matter, reporters are there to ask [questions]," Daily Caller editor-in-chief Tucker Carlson told the New York Times' Brian Stelter. Carlson did not immediately respond to a question from POLITICO.

This is the “right thing” because it benefits Obama. That’s it.

Exactly. The questions are scripted. The only way to get a real one in is by interrupting the script.

And the script-readers want this guy cast out from among them.

Tells us everything we need to know about them.

Sure glad I don’t have kids...

Likewise.

Plus, I'm glad I'm old. The youngsters coming up have a very bleak, miserable, perhaps dystopian, future ahead of them.

Obama's Satanic Hand Signals

0 is a fake president and a fake citizen. He is usurper holding office illegally. He must be impeached but our demonically controlled government cannot act to enforce the Constitution . . .

Shep Smith and Chris wallace want the reporter to lose his press credentials.

Those two should be separated. Where's an ice cold bucket of water.

What comes to mind is David Gregory hounding Bush at every opportunity. I guess that was “hard hitting journalism.”

I hate the Marxist bastard, but stunts like this are not smart.

Normally I'd agree, but in this case the reporter asked the question that's on ALL American's minds - and one that the compliant puppy-dog media would dare not ask on their own.

It's speaking "truth to power" - and this is a truth that is highest on the minds of our countrymen.

You do know that George W had more czars than any other president, though they all have had them in recent admins. W had over 80 I do believe. Is it the word itself that bothers you? I find it fairly innocuous. just wondering. Thanks.

Sam Donaldson has to be rolling in his grave. Now him questioning Obama, I’d pay to see that.

Shep got his panties in a wad over this. he is one of the main reasons I do not watch FOX much anymore.

He's lost so much weight from the Kaposi's sarcoma that it will probably be safe to start watching again before the end of the year.

Doesn’t he give so-called press conferences, then come out and read his teleprompter, and then leave without answering any question? Munro probably knew he was never going to get to ask a question. Well, I hope it was worth it. He will be Persona Grata no longer.

Would hardly call this 'heckling'; but since when do 'words' mean anything, these days; and with a Lib Media. . .

Unlike the other 'dissed' reporters; at he got a question 'off'. . .
