Sunday on Reliable Sources, Brian Stelter brought Jay Carney and John King to the program to discuss CBS reporter Major Garretts controversial question to President Obama about Iran. Garrett asked the president whether he could be content with the Iran deal knowing that there were four American hostages still being held in Iran.
Carney hit Garrett, calling him pompous and deeming his question offensive. The long time White House press secretary for the Obama administration said he understood why the president took offense, noting it was a poorly chosen word on Garretts part.

LOLOLOLOL! Can't believe that carney thinks o'bama is pompous and offensive. Maybe that's why he ain't at the lectern any more. Oh, did I get that backwards? Garrett's supposedly pompous and offensive? Hello kettle---- I say promote him from Major to at least Brigadier General for getting under that thin skin.

Gee, I never heard such criticisms when Sam Donaldson was harassing Reagan. The WH press corps loved it.

I thought all questions were pre-vetted by the Obama media operation. Did Major deviate from the script?
I thought Obama had a ready answer to go with his snark, so I don’t understand Carney’s “after” outrage.
To: rktman
Talk about projection - it’s Carney’s master who’s the pompous, offensive ass. Bathhouse Barry is happy to have Americans held hostage in Iraq, slaughtered in Libya, Iraq, & Afghanistan, murdered on U.S. soil. Zero is not just “content,” he’s giddy that citizens are being killed by Mohammedans. His alleged wife, Michael Robinson, too.
To: kabar
Has anyone else noticed how, the media, Democrats, liberal talking heads, etc. are criticizing Garrett for asking an allegedly improper question? Rather than anyone commenting on the content of the question or the content of Obama’s answer, the focus has been on the lines of “how dare he ask such a question”.
To: rktman
It was one-friggen-question. And they're STILL complaining about it.
Thats how fragile the progressive narrative is, folks. All it would take to topple it is a little shove.
Why hasn't anyone tried yet?

The closer you are to the target, the more verbal abuse you'll get from the WH.
When they say "Controversial" or "Offensive" they mean "I don't want to hear it".
Keep going Major Garrett!

We have entered Bizarro World. I can recall the glee when Bush ducked a shoe at a press conference.

Rather than anyone commenting on the content of the question or the content of Obamas answer, the focus has been on the lines of how dare he ask such a question.The dipstick should have gon all Trump on Carney barker. Instead he apologized and backed down. Proving he is Incapable of learning.
