“Was it provocative? Yes. Was it intended to be such? Absolutely.” –Â Garrett
As reported earlier, Major Garrett faced backlash today from certain quarters over his question to President Obama about hostages being held in Iran. The President offered a scolding of Garrett for his phrasing, and the internet devolved into rage-frenzy. Garrett himself spoke about the so-called scolding with Contessa Brewer shortly after the press conference for CBS’s online streaming service. [TruthRevolt]
Kabuki. Raw, unrefined kabuki.
Way to go Major! Keep up the good work!
We miss you on Foxnews!
It’s NOT “kabuki” when it’s simply plain, old-fashioned JOURNALISM.
Forgetting the attack “questions” the media pounded at Republicans (particularly Republican Presidents)?!?
…and OBoy’s pansy-ass girly-squeal response was just as real.
I’d bet Major Garret will now be fired by CBS. Obama’s toadies were on the phone immediately telling CBS exactly what to do. 😡
The media created Barack 0bama – now that they are of no further use to him, the media finally sees what he really thinks of them.
Serves them right – sadly, we’re all stuck with 0bama because of the media’s idiocy .
CBS will require “psychological counseling” before he’s allowed back into the news room.
Major Garrett requires reeducation.
It was worth the price of admission and a popcorn to see The Child King get all pissy and whiny. What a fucking piece of shit he is.
“You should know better.”
Oh yeah? Up yours, crybaby.
A journalist got within half a mile
of BO and then asked real questions?
BO’s monkey handlers are slipping.
O’Bama got “all wee weed up”
What a bitter clinger
Excellent call out of Obozo Major!
Hopefully there will be more questions like this from other pissed off reporters and President Shi’ Thead will no longer take questions from anyone.
The backlash wasn’t because of the content of the question. The backlash was because he actually dared asked Gay Barry a REAL question that the other boot-licking members of the progressive press refuse to ask. How dare he ask the worst president in the history of this country a question that shows Gay Barry in a bad light?
The arrogance of our sh*te-stain preezy grows more and more with every passing day, doesn’t it? It’s his second term, so he-who-knows-it-all feels he can do any damned thing he pleases.
My constant hope is that he ‘fades away’, quickly–is his shirt size down to 12/36 yet, because he sure is getting scrawny?
LOL! In re-watching the clip again this morning, I could easily envision Barry rearing back and in his most dramatic voice saying “How DARE you!!” What a candy-ass.
Major Garrett = Real Journalist
“Wellllll, I NEVER….”
Obama pauses a lot when he feels like he’s in a bind. Is someone feeding him replies through an earpiece?
How dare the president forget that HE is not a sovereign ruler! HE is answerable to the people and the PRESS is supposed to represent us. Great job, Major! We need a lot more truth seekers who are unafraid to ask the questions we all want answered.
It was fun to see the physical pause in speaking, while the president stepped back from the defensive, and robotically hid behind the offensive. What a piece of work we have for a president, followed by all of his worthless, corrupt, mosty likely criminal appointees!
Dan Blather is waiting in the wings for one more go.
It was an excellent question. TheObama should take off his Burger King Paper Crown and enjoy the present, and HOPEFULLY, future trip to a federal prison today. He’ll have Moose be his ‘protector’. Naw, she’d beat the crap out of him.
Obama fakes a presser to present a lengthy speech and try to drum up support for his Iran “deal.” Garrett comes along and reminds Obama of one of the glaring failures of the “deal,” as Obama was doing a victory jig.
Obama no likey.
Call your Senators. Demand that they refuse to approve this shady deal.
Major – prepare for your tax audit
Major, next time just throw a shoe at the petulant sack of shit!
Hey!! Joe Sixpack??? WTF???
Garrett loves him that King Putt. This is the same network that torpedoed Sharyl Attkisson. That question was carefully written to provide Obeyme with a reason to grandstand. As with Bergdahl, I hope it backfires and the public realizes that in his blustering he admitted he gave into concessions.
“Why do you stink so bad at this?”
– Would have saved Major some words & breath.
