"Last night at the Republican debate, some of the hopefuls, they hope to get your job, they defended the practice of waterboarding which is a practice you banned in 2009. Herman Cain said, quote, 'I don't see that as torture.' Michele Bachmann said that it's, quote, 'very effective.' So I'm wondering if you think that they're uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?" CNN's White House correspondent Dan Lothian asked President Obama in Hawaii.

Bias ?
What bias ?
Drudge linked this with a header “Multiple Choice”. Yeah, it really couldn’t be anything other than one of the 3 choices offered, could it?
I assume this reporter came up with this ‘brilliant’ question because it was an ongoing argument in the press pool....
CNN reporter asks GOP candidate-
“Have you stopped beating your wife?”
same difference.
When President Obama says that waterboarding is torture, even though it does not meet the definition of torture, and bans the practice that has saved thousands of American lives, is he bing uninformed, out-of-touch or irresponsible?
Feel free to pick more than one...
Now there is a wholly unbiased, top of the line journalistic question, don’t you think? [/sarcasm]
This would be laughable if it wasn’t serious business.
Worse than Pravda in its hay-day.
These fools are called the Communist News Network for a reason.
Who cars. This idiot Obummer is relegated to giving interviews on low rated MSM Lefty networks. He will not be able to take any real interviews for fear for getting a real question.
Is Obama:
a. Evil
b. Marxist
c. Unpatriotic
Does your bias in favor of democrats and left leaning politics result from:
A. A sophomoric view of the world that you learned at college and that has never been challenged by the homogeneous like-minded media crowd you're surrounded by?
B. An elitist view of the world that makes you think you know more than those who didn't attend the ‘correct’ universities and who don't share your particular ideologies?
or
C. Just plain ignorance?
This is a golden opportunity to sneer at both CNN and Obama.
The next time anybody interviews a prominent Republican leader, they should ask if *Obama* is “Uninformed, Out of Touch, or Irresponsible?”
Immediately, the MSM will have a hissy-fit. Hilarious.
The questioner is clearly uninformed, out of touch, AND irresponsible.
oh yah, we didn’t get the message that waterboarding is torture...cuz Bammer says so. And the MSM reported it, prolly right on the Keef Oblermann Show. How could we forget?
" Dear Leader, the evil, nasty, racist wicked Republicans want to take your job next year. How best can we, you faithful lackeys in the media, help you stop them from doing that?"
Is Obama:
a. Evil
b. Marxist
c. Unpatriotic
d. An asshat
e. All of the above.
I pick “e”.
Why waterboard the enemy when you can just blow him and his family and a whole bunch of innocent or guilty bystanders up with a hellfire missile from a drone? Of course you don’t get any information that might prevent a future terrorist attack or anything like that, but on the other hand you don’t have to worry about eventually putting the guy on trial or letting him go either. Call it The Obama Doctrine. Is it uninformed and out of touch? Who cares? is it irresponsible? Sure. But if it doesn’t bother CNN, why should it bother anybody else?
Waterboarding provided intelligence that helped us get Bin Laden. Seems like those who say it doesn’t work are “uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible.”
‘zackly.
The commie channel strikes again. Totally unbiased reporting....yep [/sarcasm]
