He got a call b/c FOX wouldn't fire him for being honest.
funny how being honest on FOX won't get you fired from FOX, but all other stations will can a liberal that goes off Soros's script.

Why are you guys pretending that getting a phone call is some terrible punitive action taken by the President?

Why would the WH call a talking head?
he stepped out of line and needed to be reminded not to do so again.
If he was at msn, he'd be unemployed
It's soft tyranny
Anything to back this little fantasy scenario up?
Straw men like "If he was... then this would have happened..." don't count.
Like I said before...why is this Administration so concerned about the opinions of Bob Beckel or Josi Joseph that they are calling one on the carpet and firing the other? Contrast the way that Obama handles criticism with how W. did...it's like night and day. Bush was criticized constantly and seldom responded to the criticism. Obama get's criticized infrequently and gets downright childish when it happens. It's pretty sad when a White House can't handle being called out on it's OBVIOUS failings without attacking the messenger.

Well done. It has now become historical fact that President Obama himself is concerned with Bob Beckel.
Obama is criticized infrequently? You actually said that?
Burst the bubble, man. Just do it already.

Yes, groupthink must be rigidly enforced.

Funny how you mention groupthink, when you just defended Democrat groupthink.
Oh, wait -- you all arrived at the very same conclusions at the very same time just by sheer coincidence.
Right?

...and of course this opinion, YOUR opinion should be taken as gospel just because you say so...got it.
The Libearl response to ANYTHING they don't like is a simple "NUH-UH" response.

If only you were able to see the lies of the left...
But of course, that will never happen. In case of a discrepancy between reality and a progressive, reality is wrong.

That would be good...if it's accurate.
It may not be.
HealthCare.gov pricing feature can be off the mark - CBS News
(CBS News) CBS News has uncovered a serious pricing problem with HealthCare.gov. It stems from the Obama administration's efforts to improve its health care website. A new online feature can dramatically underestimate the cost of insurance.
The administration announced it would provide a new "shop and browse" feature Sunday, but it's not giving consumers the real picture. In some cases, people could end up paying double of what they see on the website, CBS News' Jan Crawford reported Wednesday on "CBS This Morning."
--
Industry analysts point to how the website lumps people only into two broad categories: "49 or under" and "50 or older."
Jonathan Wu is co-founder of Valuepenguin.com, a consumer finance website focusing on the impact of health care reform. His company has built a tool that provides quotes for plans on the federal exchange. He said it's "incredibly misleading for people that are trying to get a sense of what they're paying."
Prices for everyone in the 49-or-under group are based on what a 27-year-old would pay. In the 50-or-older group, prices are based on what a 50-year-old would pay.
CBS News ran the numbers for a 48-year-old in Charlotte, N.C., ineligible for subsidies. According to HealthCare.gov, she would pay $231 a month, but the actual plan on Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina's website costs $360, more than 50 percent higher. The difference: Blue Cross and Blue Shield requests your birthday before providing more accurate estimates.
The numbers for older Americans are even more striking. A 62-year-old in Charlotte looking for the same basic plan would get a price estimate on the government website of $394. The actual price is $634.
--
Industry executives CBS News spoke with could not believe the government is providing these estimates, which they said were useless and could easily mislead consumers. They also said that the website repeatedly states the actual prices could be lower, but it makes no mention that they could be higher.
