The president just kicked the media straight in the butt

[impik]

"In my interviews in the end of the trip to Asia, none of them asked me about Asia, none of them asked me about the economy, but three of them asked me if i read Sarah Palin's book".

Zing!

[BrklynLiberal]

1. Badda bing!

[gateley]

2. Good one, Mr. President! Where did he say this? Hope it gets a lot of airplay

and the media should do some soul-searching.

[impik]

3. At the end of the job summit just now

I'm sure it'll be out there soon.

[Hutzpa]

10. DUzy

the media doing some soul searching....:rofl:

[gateley]

11. I'd better eat some protein -- I obviously wasn't thinking clearly. nt

[Cha]

4. Fucking mediawhores..don't know wtf is going on.

[emulatorloo]

5. MSNBC "News" this morning; JOE BIDEN's GAFFE!!!! TIGER WOODS INFIDELITY!!!!

I was trapped in the dentist chair with a flatscreen TV hanging over me.

I guess they did talk about the jobs summit a little. But mostly it was gaffe, infidelity, white house gate crashers.

"News coverage" it getting really really getting pathetic.

[jgraz]

7. Biden had a gaffe?

What are the odds? :P

[gateley]

13. No. He. Did. Not.

He made a blunder. :7

He was being introduced, heard his name and came out from behind the curtain to take the stage. Turns out it was just part of his intro. Biden laughed and just stayed out on the side of the stage smiling widely (laughing at himself) for the rest of the intro.

Sorry to disappoint all the Gaff-heads here, but I'm sure you/they can all make a deal over this.

[jgraz]

18. Damn, retract your claws

I love Joe and I'm happy to have him as VP. That doesn't change the fact that I also find him endlessly entertaining.

[gateley]

21. Sorry - I realize I've been a bitch all day. Claws retracted. Purring now. Again, sorry! nt

[mkultra]

44. cat references make me throw up in my mouth a little bit

[Cha]

25. Mediawhore shit..as usual. No gaffe whatsoever.

[Common Sense Party]

14. What gaffe? I have no TV, so I missed this...

[Hutzpa]

6. Ouch!

It's the media going Rogue, good on you Sire...

:evilgrin:

[HopeOverFear]

8. tell the truth and shame the devil, Mr. President

bravo!

[silverweb]

9. K&R

An excellent teaching moment, Mr. President -- perhaps lost on those who need it most, but well done in any case.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. and. . . . .

DID he read her book yet?


:)

[Hutzpa]

17. Which one? My pet Goat?

}(

[Clio the Leo]

15. Wasn't that a hoot?

I believe he was talking about the sit downs he did with the four/five networks .... you could tell at a point he was starting to get agitated.

[treestar]

16. Good one

And why should the President waste time reading crap? :rofl: :rofl:

How do such idiots get so high in their profession that they get to interview the POTUS? The profession of journalism in this country needs to do soul searching.

They have obviously sold out to the lowest common denominator.

[ClarkUSA]

19. Mediawhores and their anti-Obama meme devotees, take a bow.

Thanks for the news flash. :)

[Phx_Dem]

20. When was he asked this and by whom?

Zing!

[Mithreal]

22. Should have asked about any more free trade deals in the works.

Stupid press.

[Cha]

26. Yeah, you got that right..they're stupid.

[Mithreal]

28. Subtle, Cha. I like that.

Now wasn't that more fun than cussing out fellow DU'ers?

Anyway, good one, even if it was on me.

[Cha]

38. Don't fall off your self inflated pedestal ..it's a long way down.

[Mithreal]

45. You are right, I am flawed, but I don't put myself on a pedestal.

I think ideas should stand or fall on their merits.

[saracat]

23. Funny,abut now I would think the Pres would be grateful for innocuous questions.

I am sure he really wouldn't want to answer real questions like why we have "limited funds" for unemployment and unlimited funds for war!Or why HCR isn't really HCR!

[Cha]

24. It shows exactly what you know.

[impik]

27. Just goes to show how little you know of the man

even after two years of campaign and almost a year at the WH.

[saracat]

29. Oh please.This has nothing to do with that.Surely even you can't think this has been a good week for

the president? :eyes:

[BeyondGeography]

35. You wouldn't recognize a good week for Obama if it sat on your head

[and-justice-for-all]

30. I hope he said "yes, it makes for good toilet paper." nt

[HughMoran]

31. Idjuts

:eyes:

[Gregorian]

32. This is what gives me confidence in Obama. This is why I trust his decision on the Mid. East.

I hear this kind of thing and I realize he is dialed in.

I can't make sense of a lot of what he does. Like Bernake, for example.

He's definitely on top of the sitch. :)

[MH1]

33. Good for the Prez.

The idiocy of the "press" can sometimes be truly stunning.

[Whisp]

34. A plus!

but will the mstream media report this? can u imagine Wolf Shitzer revealing this little gem?

[Martin Eden]

36. Sarah didn't read it either

She only looked at the pictures.

[old mark]

40. She most certainly didn't write it! nt

[uponit7771]

37. Yeap, they're worthless...

[LastNaturalist]

39. The media in this country is abysmally horrid.

The last great journalist? Stephen Colbert.

[mlevans]

41. I would have voted for John Stewart.

[Sherman A1]

42. YES!

[DrZeeLit]

43. the media's been listening to the Tea Baggers about how msm LOVES O... so now they are

trying to find anything ... ANYTHING... of fault.

And I'm NOT saying the policy stuff. They let pundits do that.
It's the NEWS stuff -- they want to go negative only to answer the baggers.
What tools, either way.

But the Asia trip -- they were laying out headlines before Obama even stepped on the WH lawn, on the way to the copter. We didn't hear anything but bowing and how much we owe China.... (most of which is Bush's credit card bill).

[wizstars]

46. "No, but I keep a copy of it in the bathroom....

...in case I need it..."
