1. perfectly good question

and I'm confident Obama gave a perfectly good answer.

[spanone]

2. it's a bullshit question. gregory knows why shit can't get done in d.c.

[Enrique]

4. and that question gives Obama the opportunity to say it

Obama went on TV for one reason: to say it's the GOP's fault. Which imho is exactly what he should be doing. That question from Gregory serves it right up for him.

You didn't post Obama's answer, but when I see it later i'm sure it's going to be just about exactly the message Obama wanted to send.

9. It is a valid question because as candidate Obama said he could be the bipartisan dream guy

ending politics as usual. One DUer told me that LGBT people had been replaced in the Democratic base by members of the 'faith community' and 'Obamacans' who she said were Republicans who support Obama! Yes, that was why it was acceptable to use hate preachers McClurkin and Warren you see, these Obamacans, they were going to support his policies!
What happened to Obamacans?

10. so Obama is responsible for the total non-legislating congress?

the teaparty is NOT politics as usual.

18. It's not a valid question.

There's a huge difference between "not being able to break through the gridlock" and "being the cause of the gridlock".

3. Gregory is an ass

not the good kind of ass either

[RomneyLies]

5. Dances with Rove proves his RWNJ bona fides once again. n/t

[dballance]

6. Why do these dillweeds still phrase their questions and stories as if the President is a dictator?

President Obama is hardly accountable for the idiot Tea Bagger extremists in the House. Even Boner can't get his intransigent party members to agree to anything. So how the hell is the President responsible for them being so obstructionist?

Was there ever a time when Gregory posed the same question to Boner or Cantor?

[Skidmore]

14. Wish I knew. It's not just these media types, but there are those on DU who do the

same sort of thing. It is irritating as hell and reflects an ignorance of how our government is structured and works.

7. Thanks for posting this

he turned my stomach when I herd that.

[spanone]

8. he asked it with a shit-eating grin on his face...pissed me off.

gregory knows that congress has obstructed him EVERY WAY POSSIBLE

[OKNancy]

12. I know! that grin... it was so fake and disrespectful

that was the impression I got. He makes my skin crawl.

[thelordofhell]

11. video

The prick also interrupts The President Of The United States to put in his rove jabs.........the man's disgusting in his disrespect for President Obama

[spanone]

15. 'what is it about YOU, mr President'

well, he can't say 'it's because they're a bunch of fucking racists ala birthers et al'

[pangaia]

16. Thanks for the video.

I can NEVER watch any of those Sunday shows. I tried it a few weeks abo and got the shivers and turned the TV off..

OK- Obama sounds very clear, professorial, logical. I just wish ONCE, just once he would use short words and short sentences..something that your average (or below average) teabagger could understand. No cuts of any kind to SS, Medicare, Medicare, SSI, NO cuts of any kind to people making under $250,000 as he stated in the past. STICK TO IT.

I have 3 college degrees and I even have trouble remembering what he said to 'dances with rove". :&gt
But then, I guess I am wishing for another FDR.

20. He needs Luther " The Obama Anger Translator"

Comedians Key and Peele on creating Obama’s ‘anger translator’

What would happen if the normally calm, collected President of the United States started expressing every emotion, no matter how over-the-top? Just ask the comedic duo of Comedy Central’s Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele: the two have created an “anger translator” for President Obama in their sketch comedy show Key and Peele.
Key and Peele joined Hardball Tuesday night to talk about humor and politics, and where the character of “Luther,” the president’s “anger translator,” came from.
“A few years back when Joe Wilson had the ‘you lie’ statement, Jordan and I were trying to figure out something to write about,” Key said. “We were discussing that thing about Joe Wilson—you know, if you said that, a president should be allowed to react to that comment, but he can’t because of who he is.”

21. Thanks for the link.

I had heard of these guys but never saw them.

[ecstatic]

13. Watching now. I liked his answer

A little off topic, but Pres. Obama looks good and refreshed. He looked so tired during the campaign. I'm glad he had a short opportunity to rest with family.

17. Valid question -

- and one that we'd be asking if there was a republican in the White House.

[spanone]

19. -and one that david gregory would NOT be asking if there was a republican in the white house.

[2pooped2pop]

22. How accountable are you Gregory?

with your Baghdad Bob style of propaganda reporting?
