At the end of the sit down, which included Mr. Watson interrupting Mr. Obama several times, the President took Mr. Watson to the side and said, "Let me finish my answers the next time we do an interview, all right?"

| Mr. Obama: Doesn't like "challenging questions" |
"We lost by a few percentage points in Texas," [Obama] started before Watson corrected him, saying, "Well, you lost by about 10."In contrast with Watson's article:
"We lost by a few percentage points in Texas," Obama said. That was followed by a gentle reminder that the figure was closer to 10 percent.Mr. Watson also interpreted Obama's statement directly to him differently that CNN. His take:
After the interview, Obama pointed out that he doesn't like an interviewer challenging his comments.
"Let me finish my answers the next time we do an interview, all right?" he said.And CNN's:
President Barack Obama got into a somewhat tense exchange with a Dallas TV reporter during an interview Monday at the White House.
After the interview was over, Obama advised WFAA-TV's Brad Watson to "let me finish my answers the next time we do an interview, all right?""Advise" is much different than "doesn't like an interviewer challenging his comments." Likewise, "corrected" is much more forceful than "gentle reminder."

The snide.. "let me finish" is really quite silly, we all know that a reporter form a local station will never get a second interview especially one that actually asks questions with intent on getting answers, and just let the subject of the interview prattle all the (very limited) time away.

That cnn is a leftist owned/supported/supporting institution carrying water for leftists and even ultra-leftists such as the community agitator & co. behaving more as gestapo rulers than presidential head of state of USA, is no revelation. Tell us something we don't know yet.
ReplyDeletelets see.. he said a few points.. the actual amount 11.76 %... hmm seems like that needed correction.
ReplyDeleteNaturally Hussein doesn't enjoy actual questions from his media stenographers. And his practice of advancing lengthy, meaningless answers so as to fill allotted time and avoid even more pointed questions...well interrupting him means those questions will indeed be asked! Reckon this is the last interview for this guy.
