Fuck Major Garrett and Fox News. He is such an asshole. "What took you so long to be appalled?"

[jezebel]

He has nerve asking Obama such bullshit

[RobertSeattle]

1. Obama OWNED him

Surprised he didn't say "Get your 'fair and balanced' facts Straight"

[DrToast]

4. What did he say?

[PretzelWarrior]

11. yes. WHAT THE F*** did he say? Why post this?

If you're not going to go to the trouble to actually explain to others what you found so compelling, please don't release your excitement with such half assed statements about what you're watching.

[truth2power]

16. As of now i've been unable to find a transcript....

You might check www.whitehouse.gov Eventually there should be a transcript, I think.

I know how frustrating it is to have people discussing something you didn't have the opportunity to hear. I wish those who are able would summarize.

I heard it, but was involved in other tasks and couldn't paraphrase. Sorry.

Obama handled Garrett masterfully.

[siligut]

5. +1

He is too much of a stand up guy to have said "Get your 'fair and balanced' facts Straight." He doesn't need to go that route, like you said, he owned him.

[Cha]

7. He did pwn him.. and

major had nothing to say after that:blush:

[jefferson_dem]

2. More evidence for what a piece of propagandic shit that so-called "news" network is.

...and why they didn't get a question at the last presser. Obama should freeze them out from here onward until they shape the fuck up.

[wndycty]

3. And he got treated like a damned fool . . .

. . .and what was this mess about Iran coming to some sort of 4th of July event? What an f'ing idiot

[Hippo_Tron]

20. I didn't understand what the fuck he was asking...

It sounded like he was asking if the US was going to invite the Iranians to the 4th of July barbeque at the embassy. In other words, are we going to invite them to a 4th of July barbeque at an embassy that doesn't exist?

[jefferson_dem]

6. And FoxNews provides the "but why doesn't Obama deplore #Iran situation MORE!?" meme ..."

And FoxNews provides the "but why doesn't Obama deplore #Iran situation MORE!?" meme without even waiting for the presser to end.

8. They wanted a stronger condemnation from him, and he gave it to them

so their response is "what took you so long?"

Ingrates.

[rocktivity]

9. What's taking YOU so long

to tell us what Obama said in reply?

10. Rude Pundit had this to say on major garrett and more..

<snip from GD OP>>>

"So at his news conference today, we got the Obama we elected, the cool, can't-be-fucked-with man who has answers up his sleeve that will make you wonder how the fuck he did that. To listen to his takedown of whiny ass insurance companies is to think that the man really does want to trick Americans into universal health care. And his exchange with Major Garrett of Fox "news" was a model for anyone going on that network: reject the premise and tell them how and where they can go fuck themselves.

Immediately after, on the CNNMSNBCFox, they were talking about how the man should have shown more anger when condemning the violence in Iran. But that misses the point entirely. By not getting all unhinged and finger wagging and stumblefucking into saying stupid shit like "With us or against us," Obama maintains strength."

<much more>>>>>

12. First of all anyone with the name "Major" has to be a colossal dick by nature.

Sorry, I've been reading Dickepedia all morning.

[PretzelWarrior]

13. 12 posts and hours later and still no answer as to what was said?

some of you should have your "new subject" posting privileges taken away.

[Soylent Brice]

15. lol

17. someone posted the video

14. To be fair, Fox News is "appalled" by anything. Like mustard on hamburgers.

It's not a good day for Fox if there's nothing to be "appalled" about.

They're just dismayed that Obama is slow to appall.

18. ****VIDEO****: Garret proves how uninformed he is, I'm embarrased for him a lil

19. What was that other press conference

when which mediawhore asked him what took him so long and Obama said, "likes to make sure of what he's talking about before he speaks."?:P

Garrett didn't learn a damn thing.

21. Tweety interview with Axelrod, talking about Garrett, among other things...

22. Let them ask Obama anything they want.

No matter what they ask, Obama comes out on top and makes the questioner look foolish. So to the Major Garrett's of this world, I say "get it on."
