Twitterers react: Obama’s testy answer to CNN’s Ed Henry
Christian Science Monitor ^ | 3-24-09 | Jimmy Orr

The fun thing about watching the presidential press conference with Twitter in the background are the real time reactions of people sitting at home remarking on the event.

Like when President Obama flashed some anger at CNN correspondent Ed Henry for asking why it took him days to express outrage over the bonuses paid to executives at AIG.

“It took us a couple of days because I like to know what I’m talking about before I speak,” Obama snapped.

The Twitterverse snapped too. “Ed Henry” soon became one of the most searched items and people quickly typed out what they thought of the exchange.

daveburkevt wrote, “Obama slams CNN dufus…”

EdJLucio typed, “Daaaamn CNN’s Ed Henry got roasted!”

c3ane agreed saying, “CNN/Ed Henry you got spanked. Deal with it.”

crutis saw things differently though. “I like to know what I’m talking about before I speak. When did THAT start?”

As did sanity check. “Obama’s response to CNN’s Ed Henry was very amateur. He showed he was irritated by Ed’s persistence.”

Henry should have asked him why expressed (phoney) outrage at all...afterall, THEY paved the way for the bonuses to be paid.

What a dumbbell. Everyone else understood the concept in one sentence. It didn't take anyone else two days to figure it out.

what othugo meant by saying “it took a couple of days” means he was in all likelihood trying to pre-empt the pre-empt of the question. OTHUGO of his him-self was a bonus recipient of AIG

0bama’s Emperor Nero complex manifested itself again tonight. A fit of pique for the barest hint of perceived slight.

If he thinks it’s uncomfortable to be pissed off, (wait for it) what is going to happen to us when he gets pissed on...

Ah yesss. That 'rock and a hard place' where truth meets and where Obama continually gets scraped up; and then must take a few days to develop explanation as to why he has no scratches; no bruises. How long did he really know?

Oh, right; no one asked him albeit, Ed Henry got Obama fire for getting close. Closer than any of the other 'uncurious' Media gallery.

So all the droids are agreed. Government officials should slap down any semblance of a free press should it dare to arise.

Do they call it Twitter because the people who use it are bird brains?

This event was the perfect example of the Big Lie in action.

Keep repeating the same totally ridiculous, illogical, absurd notions as if they are truth. If the face of repeated challenges, fall back on a thinly documented story or other rehearsed tactic.

If the country still believes this IDIOT, perhaps we deserve our fate.

Really puts that whole 7 minutes reading to children thing in perspective. God help us if it takes him 2 days to respond to an actual emergency so he can understand what the hell he’s talking about.

Twitter.

Anybody remember the good old days, when people took like 45 seconds and came up with these deep, penetrating, comprehensive analyses?
They actually used complete sentences. Paragraphs even!

Because he needed to cover Dodd's ass and he really didn't feel outrage.
