Bret Baier on his Obama Interview and Why the Interruptions!

[JPMoron]

This JERK is totally disrespectful. He needs to be bitch slapped.

[ptango101]

What a crock. I could almost see this little turds instructions from head office saying "don't let him talk". Maybe if you had ambushed Bush like this you would have at least a small bit of credibility. You remember Bush, the guy who bent your economy over and royally f***ked it. The guy who toke the western world to war on a lie, but insisted it was just a mistake.

[2010revolutionusa]

Obama is the Regime in Chief. He has no civility whatsoever. He is NOT a gracious person. He bullies, he chides the Tea Partiers and Pelosi called them Astroturf. The Dems in the White House including Obongo ARE NOT nice at all.

[wmessengerful]

I don't understand why any level headed moderate or liberal would ever sit down with FOX news. Fair and balanced my ass.

[ExEverest10]

@wmessengerfu Fox may be Fox, but as far as this specific interview is concerned, I think Baier is correct, and Obama did deflect his initial question, which, I believe, pertained to the process, whereas the answer was addressing the good the medicare plan would do. The questions afterward, I think, were answered more aptly, but still concentrated on his what his concerns were. If you your opinion's to the contrary, I would like to hear your argumentation, and I am not being sarcastic or snarky.

[scbluesman13]

The fact that Bret saw this interview as adversarial from the get go tells you about his and his company's attitude towards the President. It's disrespectful and unprofessional. He's basically admitting he walked in there trying to strategize how he's going to "get over" on Obama, and box him in during the interview. Hey Brett, next time just get Carrie Paejean on your show and softball her for 20 minutes, you tight-collared hack.

[newyorkeastside]

This is a perfect example of the fact that the country is "sick and tired"

of Obama's bulshit and lies.

If Obama had more town meetings and made himself more accessible to "THE PEOPLE" then we the people would not have to "CORNER" the asshole.

end of story.....by the way the health care plan is a total failure as predicted.

[wmessengerful]

@newyorkeastside Yeah. I remember George Bush and all the Republicans giving all kinds of town all meetings. Those were the good old days. There were tons of town hall meetings on the medicare prescription plan they passed. Oh, even more town hall meetings on the Iraq invasion. I can't wait until the good ole boyz are back in power!

[Malthizar]

wow... this is so dam terrible

[satyricon451]

Bret Baier wouldn't be such a douchebag if he'd get the dirty-Sanchez role-playing straight. You do not put the mustache on your own face you dummy!

Bret, may you have a long, ridiculous, and absurd journalism career.

[satyricon451]

Douche. Agreed. I mean if you are going to ask a question while the president is answering another question, then what the hell can this gimp expect? It's a rhetorical tactic.

[hatfisc]

@satyricon451 If it takes longer than 60 seconds to answer any question, you're being long winded. I think Obama's record is like 17 minutes for a single response. Do you think anyone can stay on topic that long? Is there enough substance to speak that long on one point?

[satyricon451]

@hatfisc Yes there is. I've seen it an it is horrible. Talk to someone in Cultural Studies. He will speak for an hour on the difference between "I" and "me" in post-modern American literature.

When Baier brings up the filibuster, it ends up deviating from the previous question. It's relevant overall, but not to the question being answered. 60 seconds may be long to you, but to me it's just being thorough and making it harder for a hostile news network to pounce on an omission. Obama's smart!

[rwbrdms1]

@satyricon451 he wasnt answering any damn questions!! are you deaf!

[satyricon451]

@rwbrdms1 I lost my hearing partially in a car accident which killed my twin brother you jerk so thanks for bringing that wonderful memory back to the fore.

It's a little difficult to answer questions when someone keeps asking you new questions atop the one you're answering. Just because he's not getting the answer that he's hoping for, does not mean that Obama's not answering his question.

[rwbrdms1]

@satyricon451 Im truly sorry about your brother but i think youre a jerk for even using your dead brothers misfortune as a talking point for this debate. you should be ashamed of yourself for selling out your brother.

[satyricon451]

@rwbrdms1 your argument would be valid had I used him to make a point.. but I didn't. You called me deaf. You could have written, "I think you missed the point." But you didn't. Instead you decided to get ornery and call me deaf. That is being uncivil is it not? And what was the outcome? You hit on a very sore memory of mine, something that could have been avoided had you been civil. Then all this unpleasantness could have been avoided. Do you hear what I'm saying?

[rwbrdms1]

@satyricon451 well again i am sorry for your loss but you have to be a little more thick skinned. how did i know you have hearing loss? this debate/conversation whatever has nothing to do with your misfortunate accident so i ask why was it even brought up? to gain sympathy for your particular point of view? I think that in political debates you shouldnt interject things like that. If this would have been a debate about wearing seatbelts or safety it would totally diffrent.

[satyricon451]

@rwbrdms1 You miss my point. But these are the sorts of things that skirt infinite regress and such is the domain of the degenerate and wanton. Bygones.

[rwbrdms1]

@satyricon451 Seriously dude, your point is to dilute the whole conversation with a personal issue just like obama is doing in this interview. i made a statement on your post about obama...you decided , like most liberals, to go off on a tangent about you losing your brother and youre on the stump talking about you being deaf and your brother dying. what i shouldve said is that youre an idiot if you think hes not dodging to answer bretts questions and then we all would be happy.

[satyricon451]

@rwbrdms1 Look buddy. I'm a really smart guy. I have a shitload of diplomas on my wall demonstrating that. As a smart guy I know very well that if you get ten people to witness the same event, each person will recall the event differently. It depends what the individuals focus on. You're trying to get me to see admit that your point of view is valid fine. And I don't think you're an idiot for perceiving things differently. It's called confirmation bias. I suffer from it. You suffer from it.

[rwbrdms1]

@satyricon451 1) of course you do not have to agree with me. everyone has their own opinion and most certainly are entitled to that. 2) most smart people dont have to tell others that they are smart. 3) I have more than one diploma and i worked hard for them and would never refer to them as "shitload". 3) You need to stop the reefer. 4) This back and forth has become irritating and this will be my last post so say whatever smarmy comment you like. 5) Im not your buddy.

[satyricon451]

@rwbrdms1 you realize that I'm just doing this to irritate you at this point. Most smart people may not do it, but I will. 2. You continue to miss the points. It's not about opinion. It's about difference of perception. 3. I probably need to stop the reefer, you got me there. 4. You started this, YOU STARTED THIS. But you won't fess up to it. 5. I'm Canadian. So you are my buddy whether you like it or not—And I am quite sure that despite this, Jesus loves you anyway. So lucky you friend : )

[rwbrdms1]

@satyricon451first of all if your canadian you didnt vote here anyway so go fuck yourself in your other "good" ear. you keep saying im missing points but i say you should take the point of a pencil and shove it up your ass but the way you have such a smarmy tone im sure that it can take much bigger than a pencil. yes i did start about the obama interview not about your fucking ear or your brother, which the wreck was probably your fault anyway because you shouldnt drive and smoke weed

[satyricon451]

@rwbrdms1 And here I am trying to just let the issue go and you insist on continuing the confrontational tenor. This has become as Hunter Thompson colorfully put it, some preternatural courtship. Potato-potato guy. I see it my way. You see it your way. You see Obama dodging the question. I see Baier piling on a bunch of directed questions as if it's a film-noir interrogation. There are people on here that see it your way, others that see it my way. Of course we can just argue for kicks : )

[bobgrimly]

Bret baier is a douche bag

[search4truth1]

Naaah, HE isn't going to reach out to fox. HE just this week end put down Beck & others

[bawlout41]

This is the most disrespectful interview of any american president I have ever seen.

[NomadRepublic]

@bawlout41 Right, dumbfuck.  And those were some of the dodgiest, bullshit, talking points answers from any American president I have ever seen. Obama is a failure, and now so are you.

[bawlout41]

@NomadRepublic Dear fuckface If president Barack Obama is a failure then what does that make you george bush republican cocksucker?

[NomadRepublic]

@bawlout41...what does that make Bush? Irrelevant. He hasn't been President for going on two years. Obama has spent more in one year than Bush did in both terms combined...and that's BEFORE the healthcare minority entitlement. The pain is coming, asshole. Democrats are going to be picked off in record numbers come November, and Obongo will not enjoy a second term (he should've never gotten a first, quite frankly). Now go suck liberal penis, you fucking socialist fairy.

[rwbrdms1]

@NomadRepublic Excellent!

[grexample]

O-bots approach the voting booth like a slot machine. KA CHING!! IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY! YOU WIN FREE HEALTH CARE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!

[lamrof]

Fuck's news is shitty news.

[tigerone1970]

"He" went to talking points?

What a moron.

[balthsar420]

theres a lot of heat on this interview. all i have to say is i hope you all dont lose any sleep over all of this.

some good stuff, really!

[7324971]

I cant wait for my rates to drop 3000%

[thecruiseliner]

when we pass health care reform, you can opt out. dont join an exchange for better premiums. Dont include your kids in your family plan until 26 years old while in college. when you get sick and your insurance company pays enough, than let them go and you pay your bills.

Or if you have a condition, and cant get insurance, i guess use natural medicine.

maybe grow potatoes.

[thundavolt]

A report is worried about a politicians talking points while he pretty much pushes talking points himself. hahahahaha. The reason why we never saw Bush like this is because he was a chicken. Wouldn't dare go anywhere else other than Fox.

Baier just interrupted every time he didn't manage to corner Obama.

[lamrof]

Fix news is a piece of shit channel.

[HeartOfOmega]

I guess you like to watch Rachel MadCow!

[jeannedarc624]

Already we are forming an underground railroad for holistic medicine and ob-gyn services. No way will I or many friends of mine go to a government agent for healthcare.

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@jeannedarc624

send me the map

[dudz40]

Bret Baier and Fox News are complete assholes.

[HeartOfOmega]

That coming from one who does not watch FOX, but rather gets his interpretation of FNC through NBC, MSN, CNN, etc.

[dudz40]

Of course I watch Fox. Where else would I go to get a quick laugh?

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@sexycarmel1234 That is super funny.Watch the ideo again. They were yes and no answers. He contraicted himself several times.

WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN

[wortwechsel]

fox radio people interviewing fox tv people about what they did on the fox program. are you serious?

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@wortwechsel Actually they do talk about republican pork but you are too busy watching MSLSD and drinking Kool-Aid in your Moms basement

Yet FOX invites MULTIPLE liberals to appear on mutiple shows and gues what- COWARDS. YET MANY conservatives openly plead to appear on your goat news stations and there is NEVER a conservative invited.

GET IT

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@wortwechsel

Kinda hard when liberals do not like to answer questions

Exhibit A: Oh yeah play the video troll

[andyrooney11]

Screw Fox News...when they're conducting interviews with Dick Cheney or Carl Rove Fox interviewers start their interviews by asking them if they want a blowjob and they end their interviews by asking them if they want their asses wiped. Republicans pass legislation with more pork than a pig farm but no one at Fox even talks about it. That's why I can't stand partisan journalists...it's pathetic how Democratic and Republican reporters just shit on journalistic integrity. It's pathetic!

[bajalocom]

REPUKKKES ARE TRAITORS

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@bajalocom

and liberals are selling out America. First with the mortgages and Freddie and Fannie than withthe bail outs of UNIONS and BANKS.

ALL Pharm companies are acking OBAMACARE hnmmmmmmmm

Gas $3.00 in Illinois tis morning ad demand down. hmmmmmmmmm

30 billion for other cuntries to drioll but we cant. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

bajalocom is a progressive socialist with zero brains

[aglibre]

The president was firing off talking points, getting into long-winded vacuous answers, and the interviewer had to get him back on topic. I thought it was fine. Obama is good at speeches, but an interview is no place to start giving them, he needs to answer questions in a reasonable time. I think that all presidents should be challenged. America does not have a monarchy, our leaders are accountable to US... he was dodging the questions and running the clock. Good Job Bret

[refusetoassimilate]

1:56 - 2:10 Bret "Baier" Rabbit you admitted why the president couldn't answer the questions you asked - you kept interrupting him!! IDIOT!!!! Of course he wasn't agitated during the walk and talk - he understands Fix news' agenda, which is to push Rupert Murdoch's opinion not the news!!

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@refusetoassimilate

He lied 10times during this interview. Are you slow or on medication?

What is he agenda or is it that Fox and Obama onl knows?

He kept interupting because he did not answer the questions

You obviously erfer to be lied to than know where you stand

[refusetoassimilate]

@PatriotWatchUSA He lied about what?? How can a question be answered if you keep interrupting the one answering? What did you take away from the interview besides dilutions; I don't know how anyone could even understand with all the interruptions?? You go ahead and keep watching fix news and accepting it as "news!" I'm not slow or on medication, but I do know an opinion being stated rather than news!! Have a great day!!

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@refusetoassimilate

ou would think you would want to know the truth. You would think there would be an interest as to what is n the bill. So far EVERYTHING FOX, Fix, Faux has told me has been accurate. Rationing, illegals, abortion, death panel have al been true.

Sokeep waching MSLSD and the Cinton News Network and when you wake up and say "what happened." wereall gonna laugh at you

Obama loves America like OJ loved Nicole

Prepare your family. Obama has sold us out

[HeartOfOmega]

Bret only interrupted probably 5 times. Barack, on the other hand, interrupted Baier 22 times, and demanded that he finish what he was saying 7 times, with one of those times whining about Baier interrupting him. Baier only interrupted to maintain control of the flow of the interview because he had a limited amount of time.

[HeartOfOmega]

This coming from one who never watches FNC and unquestioningly parrots everything anyone from the Obama Administration says while sipping his psychedelic cyanide Kool Aide! Botttoms Up!! Yumm!!

[yerallmorons]

Nobody from Fox news ever, ever, ever interrupted president Bush, ever. You don't ingterrupt someone who's answering a question. Bret seriously doesn't know how to ask questions. He's a shitty reporter, and it's exactly what I expected from the most disrespectful "news" program in existence. Disgusting. It's people like this that bring about the downfall of our society.

[ORAfilms]

@yerallmorons

HEY LIBERAL ...get your head out of your ass and realize whats going on. You must be a student or never own a small business. You must be getting freebies

[caFexpo00]

you own a small business? no... you goddamn hick. grab your gun and your bible and hit the bomb shelter cause conservatism is out son.

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@caFexpo00 Hahahahaha you progressives will not win another election for 20 yearsif you are lucky

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@yerallmorons

This was best interview the nazi Obama has ever done

He got caught and was calle4da liar LIVE onFOX.

YES Fox did interupt the prez BUsh SEVERAL times but you were too busy letting your mom chnge you shtty diapers.

Idiot that ws the problem he did not answer the qestion and wen he did he lied

[DillonX]

But with Bush they asked him to take down his pants...fair & balanced...NO WAY!.

[mfanady]

I particularly enjoyed the Nancy Pelosi part of the interview. You know Obama owes more than a few face palms to her daffy comments.

[cdejean22]

8:00 to 8:35 is the most telling part of this vid. "when you're up against the clock you kind of have to choose one over the other"...and clearly he choose to DISRESPECT the office of the Presidency for FIX PROPAGANDA NEWS and the tea baggers/birthers.

[quizerry]

Sorry but when Obama gets in front of the camera he starts preaching and keeps rambling on and on. Bret had no choice but to cut him off. If he didn't it would not have been an interview it would have been just another Obama talking points speech. Bret was very respectful and apologized saying he was sorry but he was short for time and citizens want questions answered.

[cdejean22]

That's because he is extremely intelligent and completely understands how complex these complicated issues are and do not want to give a cut dry response. The fact of the matter is, if these questions were that simple to answer then we wouldn't be having these issues in the first place. I'm sorry but I have an urge to be very PRACTICAL. I guess the word PRACTICAL does not belong in the TEABAGGERS vocabulary.LOL

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@cdejean22 When you are ased if something is in the bill or not n the bill it generly is a yes or no answer. How cmplicated is it to answer "is your llegal Nebraska deal still in or out.

Go back and read this dumb assz comment you left. It makes me laugh.

Time for your Kool-Aid Troll

[cdejean22]

Do me a favor. Why don't you point out which specific portion of the question and answer portion that bothered you. Then you'll see how much of a MORON you are. I will gladly make you look like a TOTAL IDIOT if you insist on me doing it. Let's do this!!!!!!

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@cdejean22

Serously if you do not get there is NO hope for you. WATCH it again stooge

IS NEBRASA IN OR OUT. It was no less than 5X

He lied no les than three times you want those too.

When you moving out of your Moms house?

[cdejean22]

I am moving out of my Mom's house when you take your head out of your ass.lmao

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@cdejean22

that i the come ack to I do not know

hahahahahahahaahahahaha

Go get yourshine box

[cdejean22]

@PatriotWatchUSA I have absolutely no clue about what you are saying.LMAO All I saw was a bunch of hahaha's and jiberish...ROFLMAO

[jDiggi]

smh.. so what ur basically saying is that the American people care more about the process then they do the product. lol. dude/gal wake up. if i wanted to scare you about sausages all id have to do i show you how its made. if you dont see by know whats going on, you will never wake up.

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@jDiggi

Actualy if you are paying attention the American people do not like the product, at least the parts tha we know are in the bill. Actually 73% of us do not like the product

We the 73% hope the other 27% dont like the process either. It is illegal and we will demand justice

See Brett

[jDiggi]

@PatriotWatchUSA Truth is, of that 73% iam amongst them.. see the media either dosnt understand or neglect to mention is in the 73% there are those who dont like the bill simply b/c there is no public option/single payer.. so i think it safe to say that most, if not all, polls are misleading. I expressed my dissatisfaction wit the bill in at least 2polls, so I speak wit confidence. I encourage u to watch the Wolf Blitzer, Michael Moore interview part1 (6:15 into) assuming ur open to see my pt.

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@jDiggi

I'm intereted but you did not give me the link. I am for reform but AMERICAN reform by AMERICANS. There is several tings the Nazi could do to drive halth and energy cost own over niht but that is not what this about.

You can have the system asis and ad single payer insurance. The problem is cost and othing in this bill address cost

[Doodoorump]

@PatriotWatchUSA

What poll has 73% of Americans not in favor?

Even Rasmussen has it at 41-54 with a 4 point margin of error. Keep in mind that there's a small percentage those opposed who don't feel that the bill goes far enough.

The country is closer to being split down the middle than just 'rejecting' the bill...

[happystance3able]

I will never be proud of my country until vile, devout Christians are forced to pay for the medical treatment of underprivileged people in the porn industry. Pass Health Care Now For Social Justice! Think of the poor, hungry gonzo porn actors and actresses who suffer from innumerable ailments, yet are told to pay for their own health care by their greedy insurers who have coldly argued their illnesses are business-related, citing their coprophagy videos as proof.

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@happystance3able Happy Pants good to see yo are like Obamas wie. Whil men and wmen are fighting and dying over seasfor your dmb assz.

It is statistacal fac that dvout-or undevout christians/conservatives give more to charity than progessive rat hole democrat/liberals. If you would like me to find it on the internet I will.

Social justice....................go get a job

[vaaljonny]

just goes to show how desperate Barry is, having to talk to Fox must have really hurt

[cdejean22]

Just show how brave OUR PRESIDENT is. It takes a lot of guts to talk to propaganda FIX NEWS. I'm proud of him and he shows a lot of guts and shows how disrespectful FIX PROPAGANDA NEWS is towards his presidency. Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly are leading the way. I bet you also belong to the BIRTHER movement. Damn racist PRICKS!!!!!! It's funny how racism has matured.lol I bet Brett wouldn't be that disrespectful if he looked like him. Then again, this is FIX NEWS people. What do you expect?LOL

[ButterflyDragon9]

@cdejean22

Wow, you're going to blow an artery from posting comments on a video. Take a deep breath. You come across as a very hateful person and even more combative than Obama when faced with ideas that are contrary to your own. A common theme among many liberals. The hypocrisy reeks.

[cdejean22]

Really? So the guy that was throwing money at the guy that was seating on the floor with parkinson was Liberal based on your logic. I'm sorry, you probably have no clue what LOGIC means. Damn TEABAGGERS.LOL

[catcherinred]

brave? please going on a real news channel is not brave, it's expected

[refusetoassimilate]

Fix news real?? GIVE ME A BREAK!!

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@vaaljonny

No what hurt was beng asked tough questios than in front of the whole world lie and not answer the questions.

We se the real Barry in this video

[ButterflyDragon9]

I thought Bret did exceptionally well and handled himself with class in face of the combative nature of the president.

[Libslayer]

There have been some who are trying to conjure up a case of disrespect for interrupting, but Baier never disrespected the President.

Great job Bret!

[cdejean22]

"combative nature"...lol...I bet you really wanted to say the N word huh?lol....C'mon...you could do it....No one's looking....LMAO

[cdejean22]

What Bret did was no where near CLASSY. I guess in your world it would be considered CLASS to be like that. Either you had a pretty shitty upbringing and don't know any better. Or it's SOMETHING about Obama that you just hate so much. I wonder what it is? Also, next time you show up in these tea bagger rallies, turn over your SOCIALIZE MEDICARE. If you're young, you will not be young forever. I want to see you in your 60s without SOCIALIZE MEDICARE. I dare you to turn it over. I DARE YOU!!!!!!!

[ButterflyDragon9]

@cdejean22

I dare the government to stop taking FICA taxes out of my paycheck and to stop taking FICA taxes from my employer.

Or did you not realize that a portion of FICA taxes goes towards Medicare? 1.45% of my wages over the course of my entire life. Employers match that. So, the government has taken 2.9% of my wages for 65 years.

If they had given me an option of contributing, I'd have been more than happy to opt out of them taking that money in lieu of no medicare!!

[cdejean22]

So that is your best argument for saying "keep your hands of my medicare" while carrying Obama's a Socialist sign?LMAO....Damn, Silly Teabaggers.lol

[HeartOfOmega]

all this prattle coming from a guy who says he believes in God.

[catcherinred]

chill out. damn.

[Tofu4Dinner]

@ButterflyDragon9

Are you kidding me? Baier was combative, the President was just trying to answer the questions.

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@Tofu4Dinner

How dumb are you. Did you watch the interview?

He was trying to dodge the answer. Seriously are youdumb or on medicine?

Obama loves America like OJ loved Nicole

[robm425]

@Tofu4Dinner

Relying on topic points and dodging questions and try to just repeat toalking point to not give actual answers.

Seriously get an education!

Obama is a politician he doesn't have any answers

[HeartOfOmega]

Baier - Interrupts 5x

Obama - Interrupts Baier 22 times

Obama - 7 times he demands to continue speaking. At one point, he immaturely whines about Baier's "constant" interruptions. Clearly the only one being combative here is Obama, not to meantion being a conversation hog.

[Tofu4Dinner]

@HeartOfOmega

If Baier only interrupted Obama 5 times, why would Obama ask to continue speaking 7 times?

[thedecider1984]

thanks

[MooseOfReason]

I thought the interview was appropriate. The media should be tough in their questioning.

[tjtube65]

Yeah. Like the really tough way Fox News interviews Cheney and Bush, right?

[MooseOfReason]

@tjtube65 Irrelevant.
