The reality is that he DOES know that Ed Henry is the spokesperson for Mitt Romney, because he works for Fox News, the leader of the GOP, and Mitt Romney is the GOP nominee. Although, yeah, too early for the President to be responding to individual GOP candidates.

Typical thin-skinned Obama.  Trying to turn every subject into an attack on FOX.  He’s pathetic. 

Isn’t it interesting that in the last election, Hillary said the most fair coverage of her campaign came from FOX?

He has to work with what he has…and that’s all he has.

Okay….what the hell does this have to do with anything?

Am I missing something? Why is this news? I don’t get it, is this more to do with the fact Tommy has a man crush on the chosen one or that he wants to act important because he was there to witness the exchange?

Sometimes I just shake my head at what Mediaite deems newsworthy!!

President Wimpy rattled by both Fox and his successor .

Don’t worry , Barry , Mr. Trumka will find you something to do .

Here is Obama’s answer to that question in laymans terms.   ” Yes I am a weak president and I have no idea what to do about Iran.    Mitt Romney is dead on.”

It’s sad that Ed Henry and Jake Tapper are the only journalists that will challenge the administration from the right.  It’s even sadder that the administration mocks and dismisses these questions and can get away with it.

Any attack on FOX is newsworthy here at Mediaite AKA Barry’s re-election headquarters.   

Of course Ed Henry is the spokesman for Romney. Henry works for Fox News, shills for any Republican . They are the propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee. Ed Henry is just a puppet on a string for the GOP, a cheap shill, a parrot.

Obama is piece of crap President.    They wouldn’t have had to ask a real president what he was going to do about Iran because he would have already done it.   The smoke would just be beginning to settle  when the question was asked.

“it’s highly doubtful that Henry would have gotten such a response when he was with CNN.”

It’s also highly doubtful that Henry would have needed to tack Romney’s quote onto his question when he was at CNN.

“it’s highly doubtful that Henry would have gotten such a response when he was with CNN.”

It’s also highly doubtful that Henry would have needed to tack Romney’s quote onto his question when he was at CNN.

The worst Prez in the history of the United States. A small spoiled child that needs to stand in the corner.

I LOVE it when conservatards start quoting Hillary. The irony completely escapes you folks.

Want a tissue, liberal whiner?  A study of the election coverage last time around proved FOX was equally fair to McCain and Obama, while the others were totally pro-Obama.  You can keep repeating the same lie over and over, but it won’t make it true. 

Hells yes!  A Real American President would have bombed Iran to smithereens months ago!  We’d have troops on the ground and Iranians locked up and the key thrown away!  

If Fox wasn’t a 24/7 propaganda machine for the GOP, they wouldn’t give him reason to mention Fox’s coverage at all.

Yes ma’am!  When is Mediaite going to start talking about Ozero’s Muslim Roots!  He is a traitor to our country and should tried for treason!

Worst and most un-presidential president ever. The president is the president of all of us not just democrats as this president seems to forget. In my lifetime I haven’t seen a more partisan, dividing president as this one. 

Michelle, you really are starting to get unhinged. There’s plenty of wingbat coverage here too for you right wing nut cases.

Actually, I think it’s you that doesn’t see the irony. 

I can’t wait until we have a REAL republican like Mitt Romney in office!  The libs have no idea what terror we have in store for them!

Well then how come he doesnt rib the other 99% that are liberal?

Oh — we’re talking about Bush now? Please try to stay on topic. 

You know how we can tell you were never a GOP’er?  You whine constantly, a side affect of liberalism. 

Obama’s point is right, Mitt does not hold an offical position/leadership of any kind. Ed did not have to include Mitt’s opinion in the question….

Yes sir!  When is the so called MSM going to look into 0zero’s Muslim upbringing!  And his Kenyan birth!  Gentlemen – only Fox News has our side!

And that’s why McCain lost-FOX LOVES BACKING MODERATES!!!!

WATCH THEM PULL THAT IN 2012!!!

LOL

typical liberal loser….confusing issues, topics and avoiding the truth.

Because they are behaving like the good little lapdogs they are. 

Tommy,White House Correspondent for Mediaite (cough cough liberal bias cough cough),highlights the Presidents attempt at deflection and demonization of a TV network in a tactic to please liberal voters.

The WH and President’s constant viewing of and treatment of FNC as somehow a less legitimate part of the news media is all a tactic to please the base.the only way it wouldn’t be would be if they treated MSNBC the same way which will never happen.

Obama needs to be focusing on independents,the only voting block that will make any difference in the next election and demonizing a news source at least some independents would at least sometimes use isn’t the way to do that,it makes him look angry and vindictive and that he only values the views and votes of liberal democrats.

If speaking the truth is unhinged to you, then so be it, I’ve always been a flaming, ignorant liberal. 

Oh, puhleez, Michelle. Put a plug in your corndog hole. For every so-called “study” that whitewashes your beloved Fox’s coverage, I can show you ten that demonstrate how reckless the channel has been with the truth. Have a look at politifact and get a load of how many times Fox is sited for peddling MISINFORMATION. It’s simply embarrassing that there are people like you who’ve been so brainwashed that they now consider what Fox does “journalism.”

He diminishes his authority as the POTUS by making off- the- cuff come backs like this- it shows his lack of maturing, even after 3 years in handling questions when posed a certain way. 

He should never have responded directly to Henry tying him to Romney, instead just answer the question. The fact the plot was foiled should have been enough of an answer to defend the charge implied by Romney about Obama. If you correlate America’s safety with strength, then Obama proved Romney’s charge false. 

Obama just demonstrated just how petty a man he truly is…even Tommy C can’t hide from it.

I LOVE the hypocrisy of libtards when they ridicule conservatives who point out someone on the left who has recognized and been a target of said hypocrisy. They really do miss the irony of it all.

OMG, conservaTARDS!!! How absolutely friggin creative and awesome! See, cause conservatives, who you disagree with and don’t like, are like retards! I’m getting that right right? Now it’s kinda bad form to be against the mentally disabled though, but still, awesomeness is awesomeness, so I’ll just over look the fact that you’re an asshole for going after those with down syndrome.

Also, if I had to put money on it I would bet Tapper and Henry both voted for Obama.  You wonder if there are any republicans in the white house press when the two biggest “critics” of the administration are moderate liberals.  It’s pathetic.

Wait, what?

That means you are about two years old and not old enough to remember any President before President Obama.

You heard right.   We don’t take kindly to evil terrorists.   They all need to die.

There’s never been a President who complains about the other party like this guy . He does it everywhere he goes , even in the White House . He acts like he’s not the president , but a whining ,put-upon victim.
Grow up , Barry .

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Yeah oh queen of kvetch!

Zip it!

Who’s unhinged again?

I don’t doubt for even a second their ignorance to what irony actually is, but it’s funny nonetheless.

Obama is looking over his shoulder. 

He sees what’s coming at him.  But the rest of the Left has been in deep denial — fantasizing about an election in which Trump’s birtherism, Bachmann’s stare or Christie’s weight would be deciding issues.

Let me tell it to you straight: Romney will be the Republican nominee, the election will be about the economy (that tiny little matter that journalists at Mediaite always forget to mention in their articles, and Democrats will lose the White House and Senate.

Why the hell should the president be responding to Romney in front of a foreign leader.That question was not only ridiculous but disrespectful.Nothing less from a Fox News reporter.Side note;it was the very first question too,come on.

Bin Laden 1, USA 0. The terrorists aren’t stupid, they know to hit under a GOP President for maximum overreaction.

Yup.  Not only unpresidential and totally partisan – but we don’t even know WHERE HE WAS BORN!

You’re a traitor, and I’d skip the trial.

the real answer i want to know is: who gives a shit what mitt romney had to say about it?

what exactly is a “conservatard”?  And how long did it take you to come up with that?   I hope you worked this while in study hall.

You wanna talk about going after those with down syndrome? Why don’t you watch this Obama voter do that.

http://hw-static.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/wplayer/NAPP2b.swf?skin=http://hw-static.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/wplayer/wshh1j.swf&thumbnailURL=http://hw-static.worldstarhiphop.com/u/pic/2011/9/25/u6yhtrgrefe.jpg&file=http://hw-videos.worldstarhiphop.com/u/vid/2011/9/25/bybyegoonkdedbhejnfhb4ryfb45gfrefewtgrefgerfeew.flv&vl=wshhTtJkZ2NTp3Z0N4RX&autostart=false&volume=1

Give him a break.  He had to find something to do in study hall.

There are several studies from non-partisan media researchers that consistently show Fox as the most unbiased source of news. You guys think its so biased because the other networks dont give any time to conservatives/Republicans so balanced to you looks like bias. Something like 85% of the news media has voted Democratic the last 4/5 presidential elections. How is that balanced?

vs MSNBC right skippy?

Except that Mitt is most likely going to take his job away next year. I think thats a pretty good standing.

So your take on any time that Chuck Todd or Matt Lauer asks him a question is?

Peddling what misinformation; actually talking about Solyndra, and fast and furious? Talking about how the stimulus and GM bailout were giveaways to the Unions. This so-called President is so pathetic that the only people sticking up for him are on SNL.

Liberal troll alert.

Why was it disrespectful? The leading Republican thats after his job called him not a strong President. I think thats a pretty big news story. You guys just arent used to the media actually questioning Obama’s performance (or lack thereof).

Paranoia just another symptom of a delusional mind.

Wow, I guess this is what it is going to look like until the narcissist in chief is shown the door come January 2013. I guess someone quoting say Clinton saying that taxes should not be raised in this Democrat Depression is a spokesman for Clinton or something also……………….Obama is so done it is not even sad anymore.

Instead of doing the right thing and showing Iran that they can’t get away with this crap   Obama says Iran is “out of bounds”   “doing things out of the norm”  I bet his next step will be to take his two daughters out for ice cream.   Not that he hasn’t already tried that.

You do realize that we caught the people before they did anything, right?  That’s the way intelligence is supposed to work.  We catch people before they do things rather than having to go to war with them when we don’t catch them.

Uh, yeah we do.  We had it for the eight years before Obama.  So we know that we can look forward to wars and a tanking economy.

Of course the Obama administration has done nothing wrong and has no right to be challenged.  It’s only Kenyan/Muslim gibberish if you are to ask any tough questions.  Buck Down- you might be able to land a job at CNN or MSNBC!

Poor Michelle. You seem unhealthily obsessed with whether or not I was actually a Republican. Sorry to blow your theory, but I was a Republican for almost three decades. Unfortunately, with the last ten years I got tired of having to defend the yahoos who’d taken over the party. People like you.

We haven’t punished the people who put them up to it.

Seems like a fine question to me the President has been in campaign mode for close to three months.

is that what you wanted the Pres to say? lol

he’s acting like an emperor – how dare you ask me!  

too bad he’s standing there naked and ain’t looking too good.  

Quoting your direct competitor to ask a question of the President (Bush or Obama) is just plain offensive. Whether it comes from Fox or MSNBC- One cannot expect the President to respond favorably.
Ed Henry acting all indignant because he was scolded, just shows the immaturity of the man.
I cannot imagine anyone in this discussion room not being pissed off if they were in the President’s shoes.

Let’s give Tommy credit for wording it properly.  Where there’s a keyboard, there is hope! lol

Obama didn’t have a point.  Obama has quit acting like a leader and is acting like the “bully in charge”.  It’s pathetic.  

Do you consider Romney to be an expert on the economy? His job at Bain Capital was to break up companies and sell them for their spare parts. He cost way more jobs than he saved.
He certainly made a ton of money for himself and his investors but he cost a lot of middle class folks their livelihoods.

Please, since Bush’s video’s are still out there – show even 1 where he addressed the Country and ridiculed the opposition.

It’s rather odd isn’t it – that dumb hick from Texas oozed class – pissed you guys right off.  

please try and respond like a grown up.  Reminds me of my kids playing “got you last” – (I believe they were 4 and 6 at the time – so it was age appropriate).  

I know its boring as heck to listen to the BS, but did no one notice he said this was not only a crime against the american people but the Saudi ambassador – I guess blowing up an Israeli embassy isn’t worth mentioning.  Odd though how it seems the WH spares no occasion to insult one of our closest allies.

I think you know exactly what a conservatard is:

Climate change denier. Gun fetishist. Bible banger. Limbaugh listener. Government hater. I could go on, but you know who we’re talking about.

Ironically, when I first joined the GOP, these people were on the fringes. Now they run the party.

Nobody is obsessed fool – we’re just pointing out that even your avatar is a lie.  You’re proud of it – so go with it.  

You were a republican and I am Obama’s Mama.  

We do get tired of you lying twits thinking you’re fooling anyone. lol

You guys are like watching an episode of “as the worm turns”.  Fun, keep entertaining us.  Start eating your own.

When you work for Fox you are effectively on the GOP payroll so I don’t blame Henry for trying to please his employer.

MIchelle, will you be voting for Hillary this up coming election cycle?

This left-wing regime is fearful of any network that provides the truth and therefore poses a threat to their illegal activities.

Sorry Lib!  Where was he BORN?!?!? 

Well, the GOP needs to have one network, since all the rest are carrying water for the Democrat Party.

Obama voter – that is cute.

Did your daddy Rush teach you how to be a cowardly bigot?

FAIL

Imagine Herb McCain trying to answer that question – or Mitt.

I don’t think people are ready to change horses in the middle of this race.

Things are still a little too dicey to let you idiots back in the White House.

I can see the 527 commercial now: They are going to go over a list of Obama terrorist kills and then a picture of Bush when they told him about the the towers being hit. Then the question: Are you ready to go back to that America?

Thanks for the honesty. Not to many right-wingers will admit to the Fox agenda bias.

oh god yes, that would have been great if he stated sarcastically “oh well if MITT ROMNEY wants to know than it must be uuubberr important!”

Which one is it: Is everyone turning on President Obama or is the media a lapdog?

Is the President a Socialist or a Wall Street pawn?

Is the President weak on national defense or killing too many people in foreign countries?

Is the President only concerned about being re-elected or INTENTIONALLY destroying the economy?

And as usual the list goes on and on.

Is that the full extent of your rebutal?

I love it when the most liberal president of the United State quotes Reagan, Lincoln and MLK.

So you consider their coverage of Solyndra valuble in what sense?

Should the government never invest in the future?

If a company fails is the government somehow wrong for having invested in the future?

Here is a chart of the agencies under the DOJ: http://www.justice.gov/agencies/index-org.html

Do you think Fox has focused on anyone else within that chain besides Eric Holder?

Do you think Eric Holder should have an indepth understanding of everything each individual agency is doing or not doing?

Wow!! Ed Henry was just slammed by the President for being a Republicon mouth-piece instead of a true reporter!! No wonder Fox News hired Henry… he fits in perfectly with their low/non-exist journalistic standards!!

The last one is really funny because it proves that Fox was fair and balanced (in fact favored Obama by 3%) and yet that awesome unbiased organization “forgot” to show the two side by side. lol

Pathetic, stupid and in one freaking page  journalism.org  completely lost credibility, because they ignored their own results to spew their bias.  

That’s about how bright you guys are – you think we didn’t notice.

Calm down Drama Queen he told a joke and answered the questions.

Not quite Michelle. According to http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/07/wolfson/ in July 2008, Howard Wolfson, who was a top strategist for the presidential campaign of Senator Clinton, said, ““I thought that Fox’s coverage during the primary was comprehensive and fair and evenhanded,”

This is very different your false claim of Senator Clinton saying that Fox gave her campaign “the most fair coverage”.

I would be very surprised if you can find an actual quote proving otherwise.

Michelle, I still doubt that you have anything greater than a grade school education.

Just like many liberals won’t admit MSNBC has a over the top liberal bias. How about you?

What did the Sniping, Snarky, Petulant Man-Child of a President say now?                                    

What’s the matter, he thought FOX turned into the rest of his fawning media advocates for the momemt?

What a stupid question to begin with. Like we’re (U.S) going to tell the press about what we are going to do to Iran.

What did the Sniping, Snarky, Petulant President say now?                                                 

Kinda’ says what most of America thinks!

Henry, next time ask him who we are targeting in our next drone strike.

Ditto, not many left-wingers will admit all the other networks carry water for Obama.

You’re too angry! Take a deep breath, take your meds, and don’t let the conservatives make you so mad. You’re too smart for that. NOT!

He’s a Marxist, and he’ll play the race, class, culture…whatever card he needs to play to maintain Hugo-like power.

The trouble for the President is that Ed Henry has so much more credibility than he does!

Yeah but I’m sure we’re ready to get rid of a jackass!

Drama Queen should calm down and answer the question.

There fixed that for you.

better get with i Norbie
if you don’t bring up you Marxist counts, you’re gonna loser your job

oozed class

Can I use that one?

oozed class

Well, since I more than “proved” that Fox is fair and balanced.  Funny how you demand “proof” of that – but it doesn’t bother you a whit that none of the others are even close!  You accept that – and think that’s perfectly all right – but damn, how dare Fox balance things.  Don’t they know that the left doesn’t want balance – they want SILENCE about  any positive right stories.   

What the hell is the matter with you twits?  Have you lost all your sensibilities?  Now, I’m assuming at one time you were sensible and I realize that was a stupid assumption on my part.  

Being this angry is not good for you. I bet you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. If Obamacare kicks in, you’re in trouble. Unless you’re already in the hand out line. Which most of Obama voters are.

lI showed you honesty.  Whatcha think there skippy?  Showed you the bias – showed you that even when there is proof the left will spin the truth to something unrecognizable.  lol

You’re welcome.

check out the “proof” of your statement.  I don’t blame you for your confusion.  Facts – damn facts!

NOBODY would ever leave the Republican party, huh?

33.9% of Americans are Republicans, 33.7% Democrats
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/partisan_trends

It’s amazing how thin-skinned Obama is. Henry just relayed what Romney said. If he wanted to go after anyone, it should have been Romney. Instead, he tries to bitch-slap Henry (verbally) in front of others. Very cowardly.

“Ironically, when I first joined the GOP”

BWAAAAAA…Thanks for that, it was getting a little boring in here.

No Ed got slammed for not being a lapdog like most of the brown nose reporters hes use to.

If you look at the stats – the only thing Fox is “guilty” of is being balanced.  The left really hates balance.  
They weren’t in the tank for either left or right.  It’s just that the comparison against others would indicate that they are even handed in their stories and so it appears that they have more right wing stories (which they do) – but compared to none from the other side – it would appear out of balance. lol

Call me crazy – but I think most of us political animals want to know.  Sort of important – but then we wouldn’t get the awesome story about the beer summit.  

p.s. Holder thought it was such an important story that there he was telling us all about it. Are you saying it really wasn’t that important and Holder was just deflecting? Tell me it isn’t so!

“The terrorists aren’t stupid, they know to hit under a GOP President for maximum overreaction. ”

Another strike…how do you lemmings do it?  

Lol!! Sure, that’s it!!

Yeah, that’s what they’ll be thinking about standing in the unemployment line, pumping $3.50 gas. Hang on to that dream…it’s all you have. LMAO!

MLK?  Really?  You think that conservatives in the 50′s and 60′s, particularly WHITE Conservatives loved Martin Luther King?

–Cobra

Yes, I’m sure you would have the same attitude had this occured under Bush….this site is better than Comedy Central. LMFAO!

…and lets for argument sakes, say Ed Henry is the spokesman for Romney.  So what?  answer the freaking question!

The fact of the matter is, if Brian Williams asked a stupid question to any of the GOP candidates, none of them can get away with this dismissive response the way the media lets Obama gets away with.

i’m not saying that it isn’t important. i just think it’s funny to bring up mitt romney like he had anything to do with it.

Oh for crying out loud:

First: Ed Henry framed his question to Obama around a quote Henry explicitly attributed to Romney. Obama didn’t choose Romney’s name, Henry did.

Second: Obama didn’t raise to the bait, but instead took the opportunity to explain his understanding of the plot alleged against the bumbling Iranian used car dealer from Texas, in particular that he was relying on U.S. law enforcement in forming his assessment that the plot somehow engages Iranian government officials if not the Iranian government, and his position against tolerating that sort of thing.

Couple of asides: 

Henry took the quote from – & pretty clearly on behalf of – Romney, came out of Romney’s mouth during Mitt’s keynote foreign policy address at The Citadel – a speech that was remarkable for its unbridled jingoism and which American Conservative magazine foreign policy specialist Daniel Larison said was typical of his well-established character and long record of being a bald-faced liar. In pont of fact, we do not have the first clue about what Romney would be like as president on on foreign policy matters – except that he always, without fail, lies. At least when we were gambling on Obama, he didn’t turn into a serial fabulist and threaten everyone else on earth the way Romney does.

There’s a lot of skepticism about this Iranian plot thing, in part I think because the Obama administration follows a course of controlled release of information on these things, and partly due a really long history extending back at least to the beginning of the GW Bush administration of U.S. government officials, not even excluding the VP or the POTUS, telling or repeating outright lies on alleged terrorism plots. This one, for example, based on just what’s in the indictment released by the FBI, is one of those situations where its possible that a foreign-based drug op has been puffed up by an FBI agent provocateur  into a plot to blow up the Saudi ambassador. We really don’t know, and cannot know until all the facts come out, which won’t happen until at least the trial is done – but the facts are that under both Bush and Obama the FBI has come up with an awful lot of puffery in support of alleged terror plots.

facts are thin with you.  Every major DEM said Iraq has wmds and need to destroyed,,,EVERYONE one of them (see youtube)  Obama ran on ending wars, the filthy liberal loser expanded them.  Dems said no to torture by murdering by drone with no trial and hkilling entire families is OK

http://www.countdowntoobamaslastday.com/

Cou nt the Bankers in the whitehouse and Reserve.  Count their donations.

… each of whom proved himself to be in fact a liberal, no matter what he said, including in particular Reagan, who signed into law the greatest one-time income tax hike in the history of the U.S.

But I disagree with your premise. The single most liberal president in US history had to be FDR with his New Deal, followed by Johnson with the Civil Rights Act, then Lincoln with the Emancipation Proclamation, then Teddy Roosevelt with his trust busting, then Truman for getting rid of the color bar in the armed forces, then Woodrow Wilson for his expansion of the reach of federal power,  then Ike for his maintaining the tax structure, then Clinton because of his attempt to commit to single payer health care insurance, then Nixon for allowing the entrenchment of the Civil Rights Act, then Obama with getting rid for DADT, giving up on DOMA and Obomneycare, or maybe Reagan for increasing tax fairness & raising taxes on the rich to allow for more equitable redistribution, then JFK dead last among the only liberals mostly for aspirational reasons.

What’s really hilarious about this labeling of Obama is that he’s the least liberal Dem president in 50 years, and now better than the second least liberal Dem president ever, with fully 5 Republican presidents being more liberal than he has been in his policies overall. 

Yes, 50 & 60′s whites did want MLK to succeed. If you weren’t there stop being ignorant & racist.

Hmm, I read from the liberals here that Fox was behind the tea party — which definitely is not supporting Romney.  Then I heard from the liberals here that Fox was supporting the various Republican candidates that they had hired as commentators — which did not include Romney.  And recently I’ve heard grumblings that Fox is behind Herman Cain. And now we learn that Mitt Romney controls Fox News.

What an amazing network!  Everyone the Left dislikes is simultaneously in control at Fox.  Don’t tell me, Fox also must be taking orders from Israel, Joe the Plumber and Tim Tebow.

Oops, missed Carter. I’d put him somewhere between Clinton and Nixon on policies (Carter was quite close to Nixon on air pollution and the need for future energy security), but less liberal and more religious on aspirations. He’s been more liberal in retirement, but even then not as liberal as Gore – who really should count in this list but was swindle by a 5 judge majority of the Supreme Court.

Rex, you had me up until the last couple of sentences. I don’t pay attention to most SENSATIONAL news stories (upper case to indicate hair on fire). So perhaps I’ve missed a few of the national security puff pieces. But the stuff that I’ve heard about – the guy trying to set his privates aflame, the guy with explosives in the car where he locked his keys and this – seem like actual situations. Admittedly by not the brightest bunch, but real situations nonetheless.

Other than that quibble, excellent comment.

Exgoper (which I doubt) Its so funny to see people like yourself so so scared and jealous of different views where you have to call people names or try to convince yourself your smart on thinking of clever words! Its obvious your a lonely person with little going on so you attack others to feel better!

Ha! How am I “hiding” anything? By making it the top story on our website? Hilarious.

you’re the one who ridiculed its importance.  

Go Navy, I’m hoping that those in the unemployment lines will makes sure they vote and remember that it’s a concerted effort by the GOP to stop any and every effort to stimulate the economy. They are voting against things they’ve supported previously. Infrastructure? Keepting teachers in classrooms, police officers on the street, firefighters ready to go?  These are just some of the government leeches (/sarcasm) that the GOP is keeping out of work. And for every government employee with kids who now stays home, that’s a student that a day care center or after school program loses.  That hurts those particular small businesses.

You can dislike the president or his policies, but if you’re truly honest, you’ll admit that the GOP is not your friend. Sailor, the GOP wanted to kill a beefed up GI Bill. The GOP wants to kill medicare and voucherize it. The GOP still wants to change Social Security into private, Wall Street controlled accounts. Imagine what would have happened in 2008 if people relying on SS had seen a third to a half of their accounts disappear. And their idea for jobs?  GE should get an even bigger income tax refund.

I see the I hate Obama crowd is out in full force. President joking around with reporter about Romney is a non starter. What time does the medication cart come around?

LMAO, dude, you really are the poster child to a misinformed  koolaid drinker! 

I think I know who you are I found video of you below.
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=539_1318434275

Why you looking to double your dose of Kool-aid?  I was wondering what they put in that stuff to keep barry leading you guys around by the nose.  Thanks.

I wish I would say something of value once in a while. I guess that’s too much to ask. 

Is that why Chris Wallace gave away the game by telling Jon Stewart that Fox reports “the other side.” Is that what you call objective journalism over there in Foxland?

He said “Marxist”!

Everybody have a drink.

Neanderthal.

it couldn’t possibly be any attempt to dismiss the only network that seems to ask any sort of hard questions of Obama.

Starting to get unhinged?  That ship sailed a long time ago.

This is the thing I don’t get about these dimwits. Do they really hate America so much that they’d rather see us dependent on foreign oil than risk investing in renewable, clean energy sources?

You have no understanding of Bain Capital.  They didn’t break up companies, they did leverage buyouts and relisted the companies on the stock exchange — which is impossible to do if you break up the business.  In addition, Romney also was involved in growing huge businesses — Staples, Sports Authority, etc.  Romney was also involved in success stories at Accuride, Brookstone, Domino’s Pizza, Sealy Corporation and Artisan Entertainment.

The bottom line here is easy to understand:  Romney created more jobs in his corporate life than Obama has created as President.  That’s why the smarter people on the Left realize that focusing on Romney’s visionary and successful business career will backfire enormously on them.

Did Wallace say – we only report the other side?  No, Wallace stated, and you can listen, that Fox is balanced – they do report the other side.  The side that the msm ignores.  

He gave away the game – that Fox covers all angles not just the side you want them to.  That is what objective journalists do – and if you listen to Wallace he does just that, as does Baier.  What a concept, do you think it will catch on?  I know – you’re shocked, but there is somewhere you can hear “the rest of the story”. 

You know what you son of a… SIGH! FINE! I’m taking your advice. Slowing down. Not getting mad at imbeciles. My craw is engorged from pseudo intellectuals but I won’t let that bother me… You people just need a place to vent and keyboards and mice and the internets and strangers that you can mouth off too and never meet help. Whew. Sigh. Fine.

Wake up America, I thank you, I feel better.

I’m not sure what you are trying to get at but you don’t hide anything Tommy.you make it perfectly clear what you are here to do.Every piece is all about advancing a left liberal agenda.Now,don’t get me wrong,it’s a free country and you can have whatever opinions you want.what I don’t get is why you choose to use a website that should have no bias and advance no agendas to do so.If nothing else you should see to it that Mediaite hires a rightwing conservative with a similar drive to yours for using websites based on the media to push political ideologies.

I really don’t get it,you should be writing for the Daily Kos or HuffPo or something.Why are you here?

And for the record I’m an independent so don’t go all if you’re not for us you’re against us on me.

I don’t want to believe that a world exists where liberal’s aren’t classy!

Funny how even Mediaite didn’t see it as good humor “ribbing” until Tommy the liberal spinmiester decided to weigh in.   Perhaps it was ribbing, but just as likely it was part of the daily demonizing of the opposition instead of dealing with their own issues.

And then mom’s basement. Don’t forget mom’s basement.

Well  I suppose I agree. But by terrorists you mean???

I believe that was after the so called “lame stream media”  caught her making up stories about dodging invisible bullets in Eastern Europe. Michelle, Michelle,…. You gotta stop being a fanatic and do some real critical thinking.  

“Demonizing.” God. you’re a dip shit.

So MLK was a republican?  Oh… I see your point… The fact that he quoted Jesus and was a preacher kinda cancels out his constant outcry for social justice. Kinda like a  1960s,  non racist version of Pat Robertson.

The president understands the mouthpiece that Fox is for the GOP. All you other idiots pretend it isn’t so.

Don’t bother dude… she would vote for anyone approved by Uncle Rush and Fake News. Perfect example what’s wrong with this country.

Nice spin on Wallace’s admission, but nobody’s buying it. 

i thought Obama won the whole national security challenge. Oh man… it doesn’t matter what he does… it will never be enough. He kept Gitmo open….Escalated the war in Afghanistan, killed Bin Laden, kill a suspected US Citizen terrorist (Oh boy…. i am glad i wasn’t hanging out in his car when the drone came for him) and you still think he is a pussy? i got an idea. Conservatives can line up and Obama will suck on their junk(Conservative Women’s opinion doesn’t count and Sarah Palin has a penis)…. Maybe then they will like him then.

All of you righties say that you will take anyone but Obama.  How many of you are going to have to hold your nose when you vote for Mitt?  Your buddy RUSH said Mitt was NOT a conservative today.  Mitt is the man ya know.  He will be the candidate!

Yes and you bitch constantly.

Funny how Barry doesn’t mind the NYTs, the Washington Post, the LA Times,  MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS being his spokesmen.

President Obama is the greatest terrorist killing machine in the history of mankind…. sorry to hit you with facts…. Osama bin laden was killed by this administration.   President Obama was mocked when he said he would go into pakistan and get him if that is what it took.  The idiot republicans mocked him for it…. look at where we are now… President Obama is too smart to get bogged down in another middle eastern country… nice try

Ed Henry is a TOOL !!!!!   Republicans want this administration to get bogged down in  war with Iran so they don’t look as bad for getting into Iraq for no reason.

I find mormon apologists fascinating! romney is NOT a Conservative! The point is that fox is starting to carry water for someone who is incompatible with American ideals and the American right.

I realize you may hate that but facts are facts! the lds/romney might get the nominationbut they will end up destroying the Republican party because no one wants to vote for a northeast liberal who flip flops, raises taxes, and has a penchant for cultish behavior! the man lies like  a persian rug and with a straight face!

very creepy, very cultish!

very creepy, very cultish!

the lds/romney cult in full force!

I know what you are saying. I voted for Ford, Reagan, Bush I and McCain.  The rest of the time I was a donkey (McGovern, Clinton, Gore & Kerry).  The far right has taken over the party.  I’m an independent now, but I will be voting for whichever GOP candidate runs against the current b.s. artist.  I think the big GOP shift to the right started back in the 80′s with abortion and homosexual marriage.  I never gave a damn about what people do on their own time if it does not affect me, and I think Roe v. Wade was properly decided.  But I don’t want to borrow another nickel from the damned Chinese, so I guess that makes me a “Teatard” on this site even though I voted for the baby libs’ hero, Al Gore.

Romney is barely a conservative, but do you want Obama for four more years so you can say you stood fast on your conservative principles?  If so, that is not very smart.  There are plenty of far left progressives and real, educated liberals (not the babies who post here) who see how flawed Obama is, but support him anyway because he is the least onerous alternative.  Sounds like they are smarter than you.

Another president getting pushed around by the Iranians.

It’s Gin not kool-aid

Whats the hard question?, Why would Obama give Romney  campaign anything.
 It was press conference on a treaty, do you think Henry should have asked him a question on the treaty or on Romney. You guys have to get serious

^^^ Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner for Lamest and Most Predictably Cliche Post of the Day! Congratulations, stonepark. You’ve done it again!!

Because Fox would have rather McCain go head to head with Hillary rather than Obama.   I don’t say this because I don’t like Hillary I am a real Hillary fan. I was pulling for her over Obama in the 2008 primary. It just a fact. Murdoch and crew only do self fulfilling acts. 

Right.  So much so, that they decided to start a war by excluding Fox.  It was so outrageous that even Fox’s competitors started boycotting the White House.  

The current White House is nothing but an ineffective marketing/cliche machine.  And I’ve seen only one media outlet with enough guts to actually ask tough questions.  

Obama is SO far in over his head that no one should be surprised when he sputters.

LOL!  Stubborn things!

Hey Exgoper: I buy it.  I’m the former publisher of a large newspaper.  Believe me when I say that pretty much everyone in the media is really trying to come to grips with Fox’s success.  About half of them know inherently that everyone else leans left.  You’re probably one of the few sentient Americans who writes off Fox as biased only toward the GOP.  I’m glad you’re an Ex.

Clueless.

very creepy, very cultish!

these supporters display fanatical admiration and support to the kolob cult (mormon)  and mitt the mormon!

twisted!

That happens to be the definition of Low Self Esteem..fit’s doesn’t it?. Loved the video,says it all.
gimme
gimmee
gimmeee

Will you?

You’re a perfect example of what’s wrong with this country look in the mirror. You can always tell those who put down Fox News never watched it. Just sheep following the call,otherwise you wouldn’t be here spouting such dribble, you would have actually learned something.

Wait the Obama apology is coming.

Filth finally comes out  to show what you really are.
Like Obama gets credit for any of it.NOT. He wouldn’t do anything if he could help it,except apologize for the inconvenience, but ”those” who make” those” kinds of decisions plus warriors and drones to carry them out, left him in the hot seat to say… OK!
You’re fooling yourself if you think this president is in control of anything he just repeats what he is told.

Actually, you have a little backwards. David Frum, the former Bush speechwriter, famously said, “we used to believe that Fox News worked for us. Eventually we came to realize that we work for them.”

Fact: I would rather hold my nose than to bend over for yours!

Probably because he’s not nearly as “liberal” you imagine he is.

Hmmm, when Romney is the candidate, and he will be, who will “Fox” support? Hmmm!

Palin told him to say “the media is unfair”! Wait,… Obama can’t cry that song, sorry! Rules don’t apply equally, pathetic!

Maybe they’re “fair and balanced” and “Fox” is not! Noooo!

Much the way “Fox” behaves for their lords and masters, with their free airtime!

Right, it was about South Korea not Willard. D e r p Henry

I wish that the right wing would stop using the expression drink the Koolaid or at least educate themselves about Jonestown Guyana tragedy before they use it. The people who “drank the Koolaid” there were forced at gunpoint and a lot of them were children.

Ha ha ha! Ed who?

Who cares what Willard says?

Exactly, only I prefer calling him Willard

Thank you!

Tell the left-wing idiot in the WH to grow a pair and grow up. F*cking crybaby liberals. Can’t even handle not-at-all tough questions.

Apparently Obama doesn’t have the balls to address what he said. Running on his pathetic record won’t help the Socialist-in-Chief.

Well… That applies to any president. They get credit because they deserve it. They pick the right advisers and appoint the right people for the job. …One more thing… the get to give the final green light as well. Why is it easy to give him credit when something goes wrong but never when he does something good? Drop your pants… Obama is coming to finally get his credit from you and your conservative buddies.

It just shows you can’t see past the black and white spectrum. 

Obama just ignored him

Bigot!

The press wanted to know exactly what we were doing in the WOT, exit strategies, timelines, guess it goes with the job.

No he did not ignore him,  he behaved like a brat in front of a foreign dignitary, very unpresidential.

Unfortunately we have witnessed his petulance….often, also unfortunately, a foreign leader saw it first hand.

Whatever it takes, eh?  Must go through a lot of that stuff lol

The previous eight years before Obama didn’t bother you?  I think that’s when the word became habit forming and lost it’s significance.  Sort of like ‘racist’ has lost it’s bloom.

its better to be accused of being pathetic than showing you being stupid.

Very creepy! you lds/romney people dont realize that your book of mormon prophecies and the fact that your god hated blacks till 78 until he changed his mind to garner votes and cash, turns people off!

Cultish!

So what that Henry asked this question, finally a tough question none of the others have the guts to ever ask a tough question all soft ball obama just can’t stand it Henry is at fox news now. I love it only reporter who doesn’t give a crap asking Obama tough questions. None of them ask after he goes on and on how it’s republicans blocking vote but he has democrats in senate who are blocking it also will not vote for bill not one reporter called him on this their all afraid of him. Good for Ed Henry

Clearly you have not watched the tape.  It was not a question at all but a speech channeled through Ed Henry from FOX ”News” about how tough Mitt Romney is.  [No tougher than a flip-flopping marshmallow in reality.]  But if it were a question, it would have been an idiotic one.  Or are you silly enough to think that reporters should be told about specific national security actions in advance?  Surely you can’t be that dumb.  And everyone else in the whole room thought the quip was right on point.  They all laughed really loud at how stupid FOX “news” slave Henry was being.

The basics I agree. To a point.

So no credit to Obama because he wasn’t on the ground in Pakistan when we got bin Laden. AWESOME. By that measure of logic, bin Laden shouldn’t be blamed for the 9/11 attacks because he didn’t fly any of the planes that morning.

euhh… I am confused… you are exactly making the point that i was trying to make. He said he shouldnt… i said he should and laid out the reasons

“Fox’s competitors started boycotting the White House”

You Right Wingers live in your own fantasyland.
