Obama Scolds Major Garrett For 'Nonsense' Question
Huffington Post ^ | 15 Jul 2015 | Paige Lavender

President Barack Obama publicly scolded CBS News' Major Garrett during a gathering of the press corps at the White House on Wednesday, chastising the reporter for asking if the president is "content" to celebrate the Iran nuclear deal while four American hostages remain in Iran.

"That's nonsense. And you should know better," Obama replied.

Obama answered questions about the Iran nuclear deal during the gathering, saying it's "our best means of assuring that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon."

He was acting all cool, calm and collected until Major Garrett.

Then the used car salesman got maaaad at the potential buyer for looking under the hood.

“...our best means of assuring that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon.”

In reality - the treaty is Iran’s best means of getting and using nuclear weapons. It is a done deal - guaranteed.

“Because reporter was from Fox. Clinton did it to Chris Wallace too.”

Garrett has been gone from Fox since 2010. He is currently Chief White House Correspondent for CBS News. Likely a setup question Garrett put on the table so Obama could slap it down and end any discussion of the issue.

Major Garrett left Fox several years ago. He works for CBS today.

He use to work for FOX a few years back. But FOX seemed to be too conservative for his liking so he went to work as the Chief White House Correspondent with CBS News and Correspondent at Large with the National Journal.

I wonder how he's feeling now.
