8. The interviewer did everything he could to make the interview uncomfortable for Obama.
With a very unfriendly scowl on his face the entire time, the interviewer focused on Obama's unpopularity in Texas ( :dunce: ).

When the interview was over Obama asked the reporter to allow him to finish his answers to the questions "next time", an interview I doubt will never happen again for this rude, opportunistic jerk.

2. I wish he had done that to Bill O'Reilly in his rude Super Bowl interview
Obama almost never scolds anyone. You have to make him very angry to get to that level.

And as for the Shuttle Orbiter? You vote the wrong way, and there will be consequences!

4. And that is what passes for "reporting" when your knuckles drag in the dirt behind you.
Edited on Tue Apr-19-11 01:57 PM by Buzz Clik
That heavily edited piece reminds me a lot of the classic bit, "I'm a Nazi", in which Limbaugh's quotes are strung together to sing a song about what a pig he is.

That jerk will never get that opportunity again.

7. The creep at the end says, theres never enough time to ask all the questions.
But he forgot to say, there is never enough time to let him answer a question. Which was the Presidents damn point.
Time and time again those disrespectful bastards pull that childish crap.

10. "Interviewer" was trying to trap PO...
this wasn't an "interview", it was a "hit piece".

Same thing with that windbag O'Reilly...O'Reilly was so set to attack, I'm actually surprised he didn't fall off the chair he was leaning so far forward. How much you want to be O'Reilly, (and this guy), got beat up in the schoolyard at lease 3x a week?

24. No, Belo group
Very conservative station here in Dallas as well. Not quite as conservative as our local Faux affialiate, but it comes a close second.

12. 24 hour news
Yet there's no time to give an important interview all the time required?

Maybe if they quit the royal weddingd, Sheen and Lohan there would be time for REAL news!

Dontcha think?

14. That reporter seems a little off.

Nice of Obama to do a local news broadcast. You don't see presidents doing that.

15. Obama tends to ramble
when he answers. I remember a press conference where he spent 8 minutes I think on the first question.

That said, I prefer a rude and combative reporter if it gets to the truth. Perhaps a few more rude journalists would have kept us out of Iraq.

18. Perry has DOUBLED Texas debt
since he took office 8 years ago. How can you be so inept like that when you have all that oil? Another Texan, G. Bush, also doubled the national debt. Of our country!

20. I like this new Obama
I like his fire and his spark. I like his tough talk.

He has taken crap for too long, and he's not going to take it any more.

It's about time!

21. Continued disrespect
Personally, I think this disrespect coming from these arrogant reporters (e.g. Bill et al), is because he's black. Plain and simple. "They" simply don't like the fact that he's President. So they treat him with disrespect, claim he wasn't born in this country, call him the "anointed one" when he was clearly elected by the people, state his middle name as though that somehow disqualifies him, etc, etc.

PS "They" can all screw themselves, along with their evil idol, Ms Rand!

22. Well that was hardly a scolding - -
He waited until the "official" part was over then told him quite politely "next time let me finish. . . " etc. I think I would have had to say something during the interview probably the second time I was interrupted. Something like, "whoa hold on there - let me finish a sentence, or I'm outta here." The interviewer was obvioulsy showing off his perceived toughness - but he was just plain rude.
