Oh, the president was quite aggressive with his hand gestures in response. He held his own, but he shouldnt have had to. I couldnt believe Lauer was being so disrespectful to the president in the Oval Office. My take anyway, but interested in knowing if anyone else had the same reaction. Aggressive questioning, no problem, but the guy was more than that -- repeatedly, and very rudely, sticking his hands in the president's face and chest. My immediate reaction was: Who the hell does this guy think he is?

Why does the administration continue to treat these "journalists" as respected entities? I'd refuse every overture made by an MSM establishment, I'd revoke David Gregory's WH press pass due to his unprofessional behavior, and I'd use the alternate media for interviews and also to get my message out.

Call the MSM nutjobs for what they are...political enemies.

Who does he think he is? He thinks he is superior to anybody on the right and therefore automatically talks "down" to them. He can't help himself. It's as much a part of his so called character as is his condescending tone of voice........

That won't go over well with the soccer moms who watch Today.

My immediate reaction was that I wished Dubya could deck the fool.

BTW, for those who don't know, Lauer had his shorts in a knot about our treatment of the Al Qaeda prisoners who were most directly responsible for the attacks of 9/11/01. Lauer was particularly incensed about our treatment of Khalid Sheik Mohammed and that the CIA had used water-boarding on him.
