Watch: Obama Scolds CBS’s Major Garrett for Question About US Hostages in Iran
Breitbart ^ | 07/15/2015 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 07/15/2015 11:36:11 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

During a Wednesday press conference to promote the Iranian nuclear deal he had announced a day earlier, President Barack Obama fielded a question from CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett regarding the four Americans held captive in Iran and why he didn’t seek their release during these negotiations.

Exchange as follows:

GARRETT: Thank you, Mr. President. As you well know, there are four Americans in Iran — three held on trumped-up charges and according to your administration and one whereabouts unknown. Can you tell the country, sir, why you are content with all the fanfare around this deal to leave the conscious of this nation, the strength of this nation unaccounted for in relation to these four Americans? And last week the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said under no circumstances should there be any relief for Iran in terms of ballistic missiles or conventional weapons. It is perceived that that was a last-minute capitulation in these negotiations. Many in the Pentagon feel you’ve left the Joint Chiefs of Staff hung out to dry. Would you comment?

Major Garrett makes Major Mistake...

For it is written in The Book Of The Won, Chapter Won, Verse Won:

Thou shalt not question, defy, or otherwhilst speak against Thy Lord And Savior, the Obama , The Messiah, The Won, lest thou be called racist and other diverse names besides.

Here Endeth the lesson.

Prince Barry hates being made to look bad. Garrett made him look bad.

Obama is a bad President.
He is an embarrassment IMO to his race as the first black President.

He is political regarding outcomes that he thinks makes him look good versus what might be better for the country.
The facts are that Obama could go around practically beheading people and the Democrats and Press will look at him and with praise say, “Isn't that cute”?

The divider in chief hates when people question him, or even have the audacity to say you were wrong.

I seldom watch him.... today he was in full melt down mode he was debating himself still trying to convince himself he got a good deal I so want to see him reduced to laying on the floor in the fetal position drooling and babbling incoherently

Obama’s response doesn’t even make sense. “Suddenly Iran realizes maybe we can get additional concessions out of the Americans by holding these individuals.” Weak doesn’t even begin to cover this.

The race he is an embarrassment to is the human race.

An amazing answer. He demonstrates that the Us and the allied nations have been negotiating from weakness. He is more concerned with motivating Iran by acts of submission than putting them to the test.

He’s a first class puke.
The UN can have him.

One of the biggest tragedies of his presidency is that IMO it will be many decades before America elects another black man as President again.

Which is sad. Many are far, far more capable.

True, he is a weak self serving individual with past Muslim ties that seems to be benefiting enemies at all sides.
He has removed our borders and opened the treasury for plunder starting with unions and of course raining money on illegals in benefit as well.

“Iran suddenly realizes it could get additional concessions”?

Like what? The White House? He already gave them every damn thing they wanted.

And in return got...NOTHING.

Exactly right.

“Suddenly Iran realizes maybe we can get additional concessions out of the Americans by holding these individuals.”

Well Obama they’re still holding them, they HAVE gotten concessions by holding them and WILL get further concessions. Imbecile threw away every advantage.

The truth is likely that they have some serious dirt on the won or on his wookieness.
