President Barack Obamas Rose Garden remarks on his new immigration policy took a bizarre turn Friday, when a reporter for a conservative website interrupted his remarks with questions.
Neil Munro, who works for the website the Daily Caller, shouted a few minutes into the presidents nine-minute speech. Mr. Munro asked why Mr. Obama favors foreigners over Americans, an apparent dig at the presidents new policy.
Mr. Obama responded, Excuse me sir, its not time for questions sir. Mr. Obama later said, the next time Id prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question. (See the video.)
Mr. Munro then interrupted the president again, and Mr. Obama said I did not ask for an argument; Im answering your question. Mr. Obama said his policy was the right thing to do.
The interruption livened up Friday afternoons Twitter feeds.

were questions taken at the end?
Right you are Mr. Obama. You extinguished a lot of those "tingles" today. LOL!
Excellent question. All we are hearing is how rude this journalist was by interrupting his reading of his teleprompter.
"...the teleprompter went into shock after a brief Pelosi like eye roll with repeated "
the man , sorry the pansy got all pissy because one dared to question him on his new found orders, heaven foebud if they actually got to ask about the constitutionality of this crap.
I was curious about what the chirping bird was asking.
No one questioned Hitler either.
An excellent, probing question. This reporter is toast.

No questions were taken from what I heard and read earlier.
Because foreigners are more likely to vote for Obama in the next election than are Americans. Duh.
Nah, Tucker Carlson employs him. If anything, the daily caller will be blacklisted for the next 7 months.
According to Barry, the “right thing to do” is to let another 800,000 illegals take the jobs of Americans that are out of work.
We have millions of Americans who cannot find work and returning “war” veterans who cannot find work and the Dictator in Chief wants to give the few jobs around to illegals?
Where’s the outrage out of the US Congress?? You know, the group of Eunuchs occupying seats in DC.
Not a one. Zer0 turned around and walked away while questions were asked.
Well at least nobody threw a shoe at him.
Yes, the MSM is saying that the president was “heckled”-that’s what MSM calls it when a “conservative” journalist asks a question. But, what did they call it when Nixon, Reagan, and GWB were harassed/”heckled” by MSM(Rather, Donaldson, Sawyer, etal), why that’s just serious journalism trying to get serious answers no matter how ridiculous the question/context.

I thought that was just me.
