President Obama scolded a journalist Tuesday for shouting out a question — at a press conference — about illegal immigration from Central America.

“I appreciate you shouting out a question, since I’m sure there are a lot of colleagues of yours who would like to do the same,” Mr. Obama told the reporter sarcastically.

The president was wrapping up a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi in the White House Rose Garden when the scolding came. By arrangement, Mr. Obama and Mr. Renzi had agreed to take only four or five questions from Italian and American journalists who were selected by the leaders’ staff beforehand.

Men don’t “scold.” I guess that means that Obama is not a real man.

We’ve known that for quite a while now, haven’t we? Actually, I question which is more of a man; Obunga, or his crossdressing, gender-confused “spouse”?

Mebbe, if the press starts getting it from both the right and the left, they will get just pi55ed enough to do their job and report facts....instead of carrying water for the communists in government.

....life is but a dream....

Read the comments on twitter. Absolutely brain dead and goose stepping Dems lashing out at the reporter. And they worry about Trump having the nuke codes?

Every modern President has had questions shouted to him like this, often in typical non-question situations, like walking to their limo. Reagan used to smile and put his hand to his ear like he couldn’t hear the question.

Only Obama has gotten snotty about it, which is no surprise. The media has caused some of this by treating him like a deity rather than the country’s top employee.

Must be the boy king is getting a bit testy about all the information being aired thru Wikileaks.

Massa Illary says you need to step n fetch it Barry O’Tool.
She’s home getting her corns massaged and expects you to get your halfrican butt out there and campaign for her.

8 years as President and the Clintons still expect him to get them some coffee. :) Barry’s just reward for partnering up with the Toons.

Note to Barry: If she wins expect a very pointed communication from the President that will go like this.

Dear Barry,
ESAD!

If Hillary was 20 points ahead like the left claims, should he be acting like this? 🤔

Smart-ass in Chief strikes again. So very un-presidential.
