President Obama scolds CBS reporter

[whitehall]

Apparently CBS's Major Garrett brought the president back down to earth during his victory lap press conference about the Iran nuke deal and the president didn't like it. When Garrett pressed the president to explain why political prisoners in Iran weren't considered in the deal Barry Hussein became hostile and criticized Garrett for asking the question.

what would you have been willing to give iran for the prisoners?

 

[irosie91]

I thought OBAMA lost his cool. His response was something like a hissy
fit. It IS his responsibility to find a way to COERCE Iran to return
the prisoners-----or appoint people who can do the job. ------sorry folks---I have
more to say......... Iran imagines it scored a GIANT VICTORY------expect this
"victory" to lead to bigger and juicier acts of perversion by Hezbollah around
the world. ------and by the forces of Baathist pigs wherever they reside-----
Hezbollah has allied itself with the filth of baathism as has PUTINESQUE Russia. Baathism is a significant movement in Yemen-------The real danger to the world
today is BAATHISM------(Islamic Nazism) --
The AXIS today is----Baathists/al queida/Iran -----to wit---the majority of muslims
in the world are adherents. In Pakistan they are called "Taliban".
While the leadership of Saudi Arabia ---declines----its population is largely
supportive. For those who do not know-----SOVIET RUSSIA supported Baathism as far back as the 1950s

A couple threads on this yesterday.

President Obama answered his question with much more patience than it required.

Funny how the right conveniently ignores that the president recently changed how the US will respond to hostage situations in the future.

 

[Ernie S.]

what would you have been willing to give iran for the prisoners?

The question should be: What concession would obama have taken off the table if Iran did not release the prisoners?

Thee US is the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. We can snuff the Ayatollah in a heartbeat. We should always negotiate from the position of power.

the right? did not seem like patience to me -----considering how press
conferences generally go-----nothing wrong with the question nor the manner
in which it was framed. ---- OBAMA WENT BALLISTIC

modifications of the "agreement" need not have been made-----there
are other methods of-----"INSISTENCE"----(read that 'coercion' )

 

[Unkotare]

what would you have been willing to give iran for the prisoners?

"Give"? How about not tripling sanctions and blockading their harbors for a decade? Let them decide if holding American hostages is worth it then.

calm yourself UNKO -------now come up with something doable

 

[BlueGin]

Showing power is too mean for the pussified left. Must always be submissive.

 

[Unkotare]

obama is a prickly, incompetent, arrogant buffoon and he has just fucked us over again.

That's entirely doable, bigot.

 

[Ernie S.]

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.

be not indignant----sloppy-hair. It is not doable and will lead to charges of
genocide------all of the Iranian children will die of starvation. Also----blockading
harbors is expensive. ----also PUTINESQUE Russia is likely to get involved

Russia wouldn't go to war with the US over Iran.

Humanitarian aid would be allowed, of course. If anyone starved it would be on the heads of the Iranian government, of course.

 

[ogibillm]

is anyone trying to claim that question was anything other than an attack?

russia wouldn't, they'd just stop their sanctions. so would other nations.
there's no reason those people that chose to put themselves in iran should stand in the way of a good agreement.
we also don't know what informal arrangements may have been made.

tell that to the millions of schmucks who believe --that all the children of Iraq starved to death----because of sanctions----uhm back then in saddam time.
"HUMANITARIAN AID"--------like ships laden with hydrogen bombs and
crayons FLOTILLA style?. I have a far simpler answer--------lock
up a few Iranian spies-------

this has nothing to do with the nuclear power deal or lifting of sanctions. I'm sure they are working on it.

You're a fully-programmed obamabot alright. Suspend disbelief to any degree necessary to 'defend' the dear leader. Of course American lives mean nothing to him - or you - if they stand in the way of a sound bite.
