Obama just called Major Garrett out. What a pleasure to see our President not taking lies and

[still_one]

bullshit from the press corp

Garrett was saying the President was "taking pleasure out of the Americans being kept in Iran because of this deal"

He handed it right back to that jerk

1. Details? nt

[still_one]

2. Garrett was saying the President was "taking pleasure out of the Americans being kept in Iran

because of the Iran deal, and the President called him out big time on that accusation

[pinboy3niner]

7. He "complimented" Garrett in crafting his question

Especially in framing it to suggest that the President is "content" with Americans being held in Iran. It was a back-handed compliment that called out the dishonesty of the questioner.

9. +1, then later scolded him and said he should know better in the same sentence. He's a soft authroit

.. genius.

[pinboy3niner]

20. Thanks for that important addition

And the other part of Garrett's question asserted that "many in the Pentagon think" that the President left the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs "hung out to dry." The usual FNC dishonest sumsay loaded question approach.

3. It is hard to take the "Fox" out of the correspondent

He should be fired for saying something that disgusting.

6. He should be, but he won't

4. It was a thing of beauty.

If you can watch a video of the press conf. it is worth watching just to see this. It is hard to explain just how thoroughly he shot the asshole down in so few simple, commonsense words.

The best part was perhaps Obama's lengthy silence after Garrett's multi-part loaded question. It was a pregnant pause - you could just see that he was finally going to unload on him, and he did it as only he can.

I am still grinning.

5. It was a stupid ass question.

Common sense tells you they are separate issues entirely.

Obama answered perfectly. Would love to see him take on similar smears.

[still_one]

10. He spent about 5 minutes explained that this deal was ONLY about the nuclear issue, and NOT other

issues, and then the idiot proceeds to associate it, and in addition, make the outrageous statement that the President was "taking pleasure from the Iran deal at the expense of the Americans held in Iran"

What a dispicle person Garrett is, and a disciple network he works for

[uponit7771]

12. Garret might be slow

14. I guess

[joshcryer]

15. Obama is killing it.

It's so nice to have an adult in the White House.

19. Damn straight! nt

[a kennedy]

18. I thought so too.....stupid ass question.

Stupid is as stupid asks. He's a faux noise alumn, and it shows.

[uponit7771]

8. That was jerk question of the year by Major Stupid... I've not heard much worse

[still_one]

11. It was bad, and the President responded beautiful

[appal_jack]

21. Demote the bastard to Private Garrett! k&r, nt

[onecaliberal]

13. POTUS made garret look like the side show clown he is.

WHY did they allow him a question in the first place? They had to know it was going to be some bile shooting from an empty skull.

[chieftain]

17. That was one of the most disgraceful things I have ever seen.

I wrote CBS to complain. It is amazing how far the network of Murrow and Cronkite has fallen.
