Gibbs On Baier’s Obama Interview: “Better To Let The President Give An Answer”
by Colby Hall | 2:43 pm, March 18th, 2010



President Obama: Was Baier guilty of unnecessarily interrupting the President, or was he simply keeping the President on track? We’ve already run-down the mixed media reactions to the interview; and now Mediaite’s own Tommy Christopher asked White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs for his thoughts on the interview.

Christopher specifically asked: “During the president’s interview with Bret Baier last night he seemed rather perturbed by both by the number of interruptions and to a lesser degree the process-heavy nature of the questioning. I was wonder if you…if watching that interview what your reaction was to the conduct and the substance of it.”

Gibbs replied “I will simply say that I think its always better when you interview the president, you let the president give an answer. I’ve always found that to be the most effective way to conduct an interview.”

1. He's right, Baier was answering his own questions and looked like an idiot out of his league

The more people who see that the better.. FOX are a bunch of RW assholes and nothing less.

And, those accusing the President of "anti-semitism"?

8. If I put him on ignore

then I can't point out that he's working against the President with his disingenous snide remarks.

6. That's what I'd like to know. Good Lord, if it isn't obvious by now

I don't think it ever WILL be obvious.

9. What a tool...

...and no, I am not referring to Gibbs.

Gibbs was asked a direct question about the interview, and he chose to answer it in a somewhat circumspect way.

So where, again, is the "whine"?????

Or do you just like lobbing spitballs?

10. You dropped your turd, now run away again.

Coward.
