Can't ask Obama a tough question

President Barack Obama publicly scolded CBS News' Major Garrett during a gathering of the press corps at the White House on Wednesday, chastising the reporter for asking if the president is "content" to celebrate the Iran nuclear deal while four American hostages remain in Iran.

"That's nonsense. And you should know better," Obama replied.

Saw people calling Major Garrett a racist for asking Obama this question. Amazing.

Some postings have very little to do with real history and much to do with the great hatred that some people have for George Bush... While every President has had those people who disagreed with their policies, I'd have to wonder how many have carried the blame into the next President's second term. I also have to wonder when the next President will start taking the responsibility for his own bad policies that have nothing to do with George Bush...

Anything that a liberal does not agree with they find a way to blame Bush. Now if you look deeper into the issue (blaming Bush), they (liberals) are trying to make Obama to be the greatest President ever. They know that they voted for him because of the "Hope and Change" catch phrase and because of White Guilt. They do see how bad he actually is but because they have ego's and can't admit that he is horrible they must find someone to blame, thus they blame Bush and republicans in congress. They will say how Obama has been obstructed from doing everything he wants (well only a King gets everything he wants), they will blame Bush because Obama inheritated this or that.

All we can do is sit back and laugh when we read or hear things like this.

I have and 8 year old niece that is almost as good at passing the buck, it's been seven years, sorry but it is time for Obama to start taking responsibility for his own actions.

Absolutely not in my opinion.  He's really done a poor job in my opinion.

I'm not calling him names though.  

I'm just stating that I didn't think he was a very good president.

Obama has some kind of special status.  He's 'untouchable'.  Why?  He's been a sub par president and it is time for him to GO!

4 American lives that did nothing wrong, but yes he gave 5 known al-quada members back (that were banned from fighting for 1 year, but have since rejoined the fight) for a guy who abandoned his unit and got troops killed looking for him.

"President Obama would go on to explain he didn't want to let the Iranian government think they could get concessions by using these four lives as a bargaining chip"

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/cbs-reporter-defends-question-that-made-president-124271709780.html

Although he did give the taliban, 5 senior members, for 1 deserter, seems like mixed messages to me.

The only reason Obama got elected is because a) he's black, and b) Democrats are interested in winning at any cost, no matter the candidate.

Case & point... Hillary.

My name is LMNO, and I'm a racist woman hater.
