Obama shoots down AP reporter (figuratively, of course)

The press was ready to take him on right out of the box today. The President got a testy question from a reporter from AP and he complimented them on being a room full of smart people.

"It sounds like you're saying this is a Republican problem, not one that you bear any responsibility for," she said to him.

"Well, Julie, give me an example of what I might do," Obama shot back. "Just trying to clarify," Pace said.

During the day - but can't wait to get home and find coverage of it later tonight. Please oh please let Bill Maher be a new live show this Friday. He's going to have a field day with this.

I would crap myself from laughing so hard if Mr. Obama actually told one of those sorry excuses for 'journalists' that!

He left them looking stupid because he said what they all know.

If any one of them could have responded, they would have.
