President Obama smacks down Ed Henry at 3/24/09 Press Conference on AIG Bonuses

[jrswordfish1]

@TheAntinode obama has answered the questin with a plausible reason. now if ed henry does not take it at the face value then i guess he has really no idea what he is talking about. lol.

[prtypoison]

Ha

[markbrito21]

This man is smarter than the while fox news crew including that old fart called Murdock!!!!

[danger0usknowledge]

I wish O would do that more often. Look at the know-nothings showing off by calling Obama a "Marxist" & then there's Muslim, Kenyon, American hating Bill Ayers radical whose mother actually voted for that *pinko commie* Adlai Stevenson. Funny how the 1950's vocabulary never changes. "Ain't no Govn't gonna tell me I can't... own an arsenal of guns that can out shoot the Feds, rip off veterans & the elderly with lending fraud... Orange County, Ca, conservative dereg fraud capital of the US.

[narcotect]

not a fan of obama but BANG.. good call!

[Clarkecars]

SINCE WHEN HAS THE TELEPROMPTER MARXIST EVER CARED ABOUT ACCURACY IN HIS STATEMENTS?

[TheBigThoughful]

@Clarkecars yes marxist and president of the united states. . . genius.

[chiefdancingostriche]

my president thinks before he speaks. unlike certain others i know of.

[loupgarou5z3w]

Obama let the banksters pay themselves huge bonuses with bailout money, then objected when he knew it was too late to actually do anything about it. His reward? Most of thrse banksters supported Republicans in 2010 & will do the same in 2012. The lesson for Obama & other Democrats? Wall Street is always your enemy in the end.

[GeorgeBonez]

Instead of arguing all damn night why don't we do it this way? HEY LIB-TERDS!!!! Have things gotten better now that you have your precious anti-American president (Obama Bin Ladin)??? WELL HAS IT??? DO THE MUSLIMS LIKE US BETTER NOW??? Is the economy better??? and yes it is Obama's economy now so dont even try it. Don't want to hear no more about Bush. Thats MFer is (decap-itate)italising your nation <--I know that you don't understand that but the conservatives do.

[mipake]

@GeorgeBonez Um... Yes. Yes, the economy is better. Due to Obama. Now, some would argue back and forth about our foreign relations with the Middle Eastern countries (notice - not Muslims. Muslims are a religious demographic who exist all over the world, including America. Not to mention, don't forget where the majority of the "bad" relations come from... Republican/Tea party politicians.) And I'm pretty sure no on understands what you tried to say there.

You may now consider yourself PWNED.

[GeorgeBonez]

@mipake Well if you think that things are better then you just proved that you were actually born yesterday PUWAHAHaha. You obviously live off the system and in that case things for you are the same at best. Don't you just hate it when people size you up so accurately? OK NOW make up your bullshit lies and tell me that you are some successful business person and that you don't take hand-outs. You are an IDIOT LIB-TERD now get up early in the morning and go stand in line.

[GeorgeBonez]

@mipake FoodStamps are great huH? You should be thanking me Fuck-stick.

[GeorgeBonez]

@mipake OH shit! Almost forgot to tell you how to consider yourself. Ummm Consider yourself exposed and made to look fucking retarded. Congrats Lib-Terd

[mipake]

@GeorgeBonez Hahahahaha orrrr I'm a college student paying multi-thousand dollar tuitions out of my own pocket for a good education, of which you have neither. And honestly, weren't children supposed to grow up at some point and stop using terms like "terd"? But I guess "fuck-stick" is ok - you used a big, grown-up curse word! *GASP*

But no, really, nice efforts at trolling. You may continue.

[GeorgeBonez]

@mipake Well good for you Mr. college student. Why don't you save your multi-thousands because there aren't going to be any jobs for you when you graduate. If you graduate. BTW and Ill whisper this to ya. Im an engineer (Telecommunications) and thats MR.ENGINEER to you my friend. Your just another young unexperienced little LIB-TERD produced by our embarrassing wonders of academia. With opinions like your I should have known that you were a punk kid with green snot on your lip. ((Fuck-Stick))

[GeorgeBonez]

@mipake Its funny how all of these fucking Lib-terds think that I am misspelling a word that I invented. They thing I am referencing retard as in Lib-Tard but Im not. I am referencing a terd as in "I just shit a Lib-Terd" and almost forgot to wipe my democrat. PUWAa. Now some would spell this "turd" but I have a accent and I think "terd" is more accurate and appropriate for this context. I don't explain this often as most lib-terds never seem to get it.So consider yourself lucky.Little stinkers

[TimHaskins]

@GeorgeBonez Dude you are right on the money man but you are wasting your time in places like this. These kinds of vids are where these freaks come to feel good about themselves. Justa bunch of little selfish whiny asses. I like Lib-Terd. I read it in one of your posts a couple of weeks ago and used it at work. I hope you dont mind haha.. It is fitting and catchy too hahahaha. Everybody is saying it at work now. We dont just use it on libs. We use it when anyone does something stupid.

[GeorgeBonez]

@TimHaskins Thanks. I am kinda proud of it. Everybody I know is saying it now to reference libs. Think about it? These people are libs right? They are also underhanded as hell like a "little shit". I just thought that it sums them up a little more accurately than just plain ole Lib. Look at their senators how they run away to hold up a vote that they know they cant win. Damn! what if all of then did that? Nothing would ever get done. They are just underhanded, cheating, lying, fucking murderers.

[mipake]

@GeorgeBonez OH shit! Almost forgot to tell you how to consider yourself. Ummm

Consider yourself exposed as an uneducated pissant who tries to argue about something he knows nothing about. Congrats!

[timejiff]

He probably needed a smoke.

yeeeea boooyeee!!

[platanorico86]

weither u like obama or not he is ur fucking president and u will address as ur commander in chief. even tho i fucking hate bush and he is the reason why 9/11 happened and the world is in a crisis he was my president.

[evathia]

I love it!!

[anolmec]

Insult is the LAST RESORT of a someone who has neither an arguement or an answer. Too bad so many settle for mere entertainment and call this charade an adequate response.

[mtdre]

Love it love it love it!!!

[LanceBeckman]

Why didn't he answer the question? Seems like the reporter got the best of him here.

[lovejangie1]

I loved President Obama's short answer!

[travvvvvvvvv]

haha,take that ed you dumb bastard

[marcello52]

Aren't you supposed too stand up when you address the President of the United States when he is standing?

[mpmmclaughlin]

This was a fair question and a dodge on Obama's part.

[bkflatbushtone]

that was a good rebuttal ahahahahaha

[dtt1900]

Oh Lord, he question the "Great One"? How dare he. How could such a lowly mortal dare bother "His Greatness"? He cannot be held accountable for anything but sunshine, puppies, and good feelings.

Ed will be sent to a re-assignment camp ASAP where he can embrace the goodness of "Obaca the Great".  Ed's family will go the camp as well. Where they will be reminded that He is the chosen one. For shame.

[bickybocky]

calm down lol

[HabitualNightOwl]

Obama owned him though. That was a good answer and it shut him up.

[katrinamelody]

GO OBAMA!

[DetroitD60]

Ed Henry is an asshole, I recognized this months ago about him. He seems to have more than just an "aggressive" style when questioning President Obama. He actually appears to have a chip on his shoulder for some reason.

[EyeLean5280]

Ed Henry's question was such a non-issue - I'm glad his colleagues laughed at him.

[chocochiquita8605]

...but your clear motives and ignorance DO detract from your statements. You delegitimize pretty much everything you say by making yourself sound like some whiny, babbling, internet racist rather than someone with a real point to make. Regardless, what REAL arguments have you even made? It seems like you've just been misspelling, calling names, and babbling about what you dislike about black people. Come back when you have serious backing for what you want to say.

[samisyosam]

I read the Weekly Standard article. It doesn't do any reporting at all. It just asks rhetorical questions and calls it news. The associated press article doesn't have hard evidence as to what the government has planned to do about the detainees at all. There's a lot of speculation in there. You assume that the front gates are just going to be opened up and that the baby killers will be set free with the innocent bystanders... then we'll throw them all some AK47s and point them towards Florida.

[samisyosam]

"You are a dick" -Associated Press

The exact article is hidden somewhere in all the stuff they've written over the years. Just take my word for it that it's out there. If you don't find anything to support my argument, just keep looking... it's out there... still haven't found it yet? Keep looking... you're an idiot if you can't find it.

I can keep this up all day. Cite some god damn sources.

[samisyosam]

Have you bothered to provide any information? No, you just say it's out there somewhere. Pretty easy for me to say the same thing. It is well documented that the terrorists work for walmart and teenage beauty pageants. If we don't speak in outrage over the fact that they are doing despicable things to destroy our freedoms then our country is doomed. If you don't believe me there's documented proof publicly available to anyone who looks for it.

[samisyosam]

There's a sale on tin foil helmets at Target this weekend. You should go stock up while there's still time.

[samisyosam]

If they haven't committed a crime they aren't going to be freed. They're going to jail.

Any detainees they end up releasing are going to be released because they were innocent. How would you like to have been imprisoned without charges against you for years without the chance to see a lawyer and prove your innocence? Last thing you'd want is to finally be released and then find out that all those years in the hole have left you penniless and to make matters worse you're denied welfare.

[samisyosam]

*have committed a crime.

Man, I suck at the keyboard today.

[samisyosam]

He's not trying to release the detainees into american society. He wants to release them into the judicial system where they will be tried for their crimes and sent to jail or most likely deported and sent to the jails of the countries they came from. The innocent ones will be sent back home where they belong. If there are any.

Anyone who supported the use of guantanamo bay better hope there weren't any innocent ones for the sake of their conscience.

But I don't think you have one anyway.

[chocochiquita8605]

Skylight, two things:

1. If you want to rant, get a blog instead of posting 999999999999999999999999 comments on YouTube.

2. Please use Firefox if you're not currently doing so because your spelling and grammar could use Firefox's built-in spell check.

You actually may want to disregard the second one, though, because the spelling is so awful that spell check probably won't be able to help you. "Malotto" was pretty entertaining, though.

[Mangina9000]

Yes, every advantage we can get, especially dumbshit America destroying racist dickheads shooting themselves in the feet!! We love you, we love Rush Limbaugh, God bless America.

[Mangina9000]

What difference would it make if you were black? You're still an enormous advantage to us. Keep up the stupid!

[Mangina9000]

"Are you one of these stupid niggers that voted for this asshole because you somehow thought the black man was going to get something from the smiling malotto." Thank you! I just want to thank you for being the face of the Republican party. You can keep smearing feces all over yourself, we'll run things from now on. "LOL"

[thoemke2010]

Man i dont understand why people get so hyped about politics lol. Agree to disagree people dont try to make everyone believe why you believe is right, I think a man named Adolf Hitler once tried that...Just saying..=D

[Mangina9000]

Good for you. Now maybe rednecks won't spit quite so much when you walk by?

[Renagle2005]

I can't post the link to the story as it won't take. If you REALLY want to know (and I'm sure you couldn't be bothered to read what you asked for because your an Obama sycophant, try searching google for "border wall in CA" and choose the story by NPR: San Diego Fence provides lessons in Border Control" from April 6, 2006

[Mangina9000]

Are you actually using that NPR article as evidence that we should go ahead and build a border wall? Did you bother to do any of the math? Did you even read it all the way through? It really does not do a good job of backing your position up. You might want to brush up on your reading comprehension skills as well. You completely misread a vital part of this article re: Mexican deaths.

[Renagle2005]

No, you are the one with the reading comprehension. I explained clearly why the wall is important. It works! The illegals crossed in harder places. No one told them to do that, they broke the law and paid the ultimate price. If you seal the border, they can't cross i.e. DEATHS STOP. You really are an idiot.

[Renagle2005]

Besides manginaman, you still haven't explained why exactly illegals should be allowed into the USA to depress wages and steal jobs from the lower classes i.e. unfortunately usually fellow minorities. You started that letter to the Dem Senators for passing that bill yet?

[Mangina9000]

Allow me to explain that there is a different between valuing immigration reform and building a wall that spans over a thousand miles. And Spare me your equivocal sympathizing for "minorities." Minorities are not depressing wages, the economy is an international economy and labor treated as a commodity. That's the defining characteristic of a free market. Know which party stands by the free market through thick and thin, unless Mexicans are concerned?

[Mangina9000]

"No, you are the one with the reading comprehension." I agree.

"No one told them to do that, they broke the law and paid the ultimate price." Jesus, where did you come from, an Ultimate Fighter training video?

"If you seal the border, they can't cross i.e. DEATHS STOP." Provide evidence of this. You will notice that in that article you cited, we are actually trapping illegal immigrants in this country, forcing them to steal your job at 7-11.

[Mangina9000]

Very good, you pointed at a word and read it, I'm so proud of you! No, I probably wouldn't believe that you tanned raccoon hides for Gerald Ford's cousin, it might just blow my mind. You are a walking joke and your failure fuels my wet dreams. Please continue flailing around the internet like an animatronic Chuck E Cheese robot sputtering to the sounds of AM radio.

[prettygirl703]

<3 obama

[ayouraa]

Americans are so stupid. Instead of looking at the real political issues, they/you tend abbreviate importance for such non - sense as this.

[perennialartist]

HELL YA. SMACK HIM DOWN!!!~

[Doombot85]

ED HENRY GOT OWNED !!!!!!

[avo7007]

Oh great, everybody wants a knee-jerk President.....

[wbowens82]

Because he likes to wait and see if the scam will make it past the media before he starts pretending to be outraged.

[bhunter2k2]

I had never seem so many ignorant GOP, 2008 - President Obama 69 million 365 electoral votes to McSame 59 million 173 electoral votes. 2012 President Obama 79 million 400 electoral votes to the Party of NO & the new KKK hate group w/ the old tax scheme for the rich only 49 million 138 electoral votes. My Dems remember, 59 million fools voted for McSame, their only payback is spreading rumors & nonsense; therefore continuing your hating becuz we winning. America best No. 1 President Obama...

[shroomingnewman]

i don't see how obama evading the guy's question is a 'smack down'

My President just PILEDROVE this idiot off the top rope.

LOL

[GFoot3000]

Can anyone tell me where all these "piling debt on our children!" people were when Bush was bombing the shit out of people to the tune of trillions?

So, its cool to spend when its killing, but not to rebuild our country, right? WTF is wrong with you people.

[toneo2001]

That was then this is now. Many of us WERE protesting the costs of the war. Two wrongs do NOT make a right. This Presidents spending will make Bush look like a miser!!! After we "rebuild our country" what will we produce that will bring wealth into this country??? Or are we going to simply be a nation of consumers, how long will that work?

[humaner]

Is that another conservative shill plant trying to make a point ?When is the conservative press going after the real criminals Bush and Cheney?

[seekanddestroy09]

i wonder why obama avoided newspaper  people at his pep rally

[heatseeker213]

cause he didn't want dumb ass questions, like this one.

[umdisc64]

He did answer the question. "why did you wait days to come out and express an outrage...? to which the president said: "...because I like to know what I'm talking about before I speak." That answer also means: "...because I like to be informed before I open my mouth and embarrass myself."

Losers? We voted for the candidate that WON.

[BillyCronin822]

That's how it's done! Please watch my video about Obama&America. Thanks

[Mangina9000]

"I'm not a nirther either and a border wall works in a lot of places." I have no idea what this means. You might be a drunk redneck spitting bile from your local library internet terminal, I have no idea, but please cite your reference re: "border walls working in some places."

[Mangina9000]

Yes, obviously the answer to "deflated" wages in a rapidly evolving, highly competitive int'l economy is not education and training mandated by state and federal governments but a GIANT FUCKING WALL that would make us the laughing stock of the world. Great idea! How much do you think such a wall would cost, A, and B, where will you find the Mexicans to build it? I already know your answer, but I'm willing to play the straight man to your burbling ditsy Victoria Jackson shtick.

[Mangina9000]

Sensitive? Considering that your post made me laugh I can hardly see how I'm "sensitive." You have an exceptionally narrow view of your party and I highly doubt you even know its history. My instincts tell me that you represent the slash and burn demographic of the GOP, that is to say the people who are continually shooting themselves in the feet for the glory and amusement of people such as myself (the winners). So please, pray continue.

[Mangina9000]

He's not our messiah, that appears to be a joke that only you people find funny. And he also does not represent only the left. 25% of Republicans think he's doing a good job. My neighbor Ron, a life long republican who worked for Reagan in the State Dept., also voted for Obama. If anything, your whining about birth certificates and border walls just makes us laugh, so please continue.

[Mangina9000]

OBAMOWNED.

[naidamu]

Ouch!! Ed got smacked, spanked and handed his butt on a platter!

[tsoprano1977]

you wanna go back to when arabs got the courage to hit us?do u remember the way Reagan pulled out the Marines from Lebanon after a suicide truck bomb killed almost 400 Americans?The Gipper did nothing,you could argue that that was the moment terrorists thought we were soft cuz Reagan didn t do shit,do some research,friend-o,there's plenty of blame to go around

[MisanthropeDC]

i agree... i searched for this so called "stare" as well... no where to be found.

[CanadianMind]

Everyone seems to forget that Ed Henry's question is a reasonable one.

[tsoprano1977]

Obama inherited a mess from the moron W and his party,let the man work!!

[BilsonM]

and W inherited a mess with osama bin laden and terrorism from that moron clinton

[tsoprano1977]

and Clinton inherited terrorism from H.W.,remeber the first WTC bombing in Feb of 93,he was only a month on the job,Dumya was going on 9 months on the job,it was under his watch and even the CIA handed him a report subtly titled."Bin Laden determined to strike inside the US"...AND WHAT DID DUMYA DO??NOTHING!!!

[BilsonM]

ok, and then name any other strike on americas during HWs admin.clinton did NOTHING to get bin laden..he could have had him! we knew where he was! but he let him blow up 2 embassys and attack our navy!! we should have invaded afghanistan when the cole was hit..but nope..thats clinton for ya

[BilsonM]

and the men who attacked the WTC in 93, were NOT al qauda and he did not know bin laden..different people..and hey, its under clintons watch..he got briefings from before day 1..you get them once you become elected..not sworn in

[tsoprano1977]

and W didn t get briefed from the Clinton Admin.,Sandy Berger says differently,he has said that W and his crew weren't interested in Al Qaida,they wanted Saddam

[BilsonM]

yes W was briefed, but who the hell know 9/11 was going to happen? that was the largest attack on US soil since pearl harbor...

[tsoprano1977]

hey,W had a briefing from the CIA on August while on vacation from the CIA,it was titled "BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE INSIDE THE US"...inside it gave scenarios for what kind of attack and it even mentioned air liners and buildings,don't tell me there weren't no warnings,the least Dumya could've done was issue a warning to the FAA to be on alert,maybe they could've stopped it,maybe not,but he didn't even cancel his vacation to do SOMETHING,ANYTHING!!!

[BilsonM]

"werent no"? um ok? all i hear from you is this.."dumya dumya vacation, dumya dumya" why not have a normal conversation instead of saying he was on vacation..its not like he sits by a pool..he does a shit load of work in crawford..

[uklapazz]

BilsonM, Al Queda doesn't exist in a physical form. It's not a club. Ramzi Yousef, was an Islamic fundamentalist, like the 9/11 guys. Therefore an exactly the same type of threat as Bin Laden etc. You can't point all of this to one man. The fact is, a sizeable chunk of the world fucking hates elements of US government, because of their continued support of Israel.

[iazisaid]

WOW... i give you all the credit. that was very well put. Best comment iv read in a long time. really. good shit

[BilsonM]

false, Al Qaeda doses exist in a physical form, they have training camps and leadership. they are not the same threat, ramzi yousef is one person, he cant recruit people like osama bin laden and his people can. al qaeda recruits large amounts of people from all over the world. if someone went up to someone else and said join my terrorist cell or join al qaeda, hes joining al qaeda. yes, their goals are the same, but they are different levels, minor league and major league.

[Mangina9000]

Evidence? What are your sources.

[BilsonM]

evidence for what? the training camps? we have videos and weve caught people who went to afghanistan and pakistan to be trained. what other evidence do you want? its in the videos and pictures..

[Mangina9000]

"its in the videos and pictures.. "

Wow, I had to hold in some laughter there. Anyway, nobody on the planet is arguing that al Qaeda isn't a problem, but your rather overarching and unfounded assertion that they are the biggest problem, and that bin Laden controls them all, is egregious and unsubstantiated by any evidence I've ever been able to find, anywhere.

[zuckersterne]

Oh, Ed Henry, you got TOLD.

[metadojo]

amatuer? lol omg you are a fool. lets all work together man. i wonder who you are to be such a hater. god bless you i feel for you

[coleb23]

OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alexxxman2006]

I dont see a col hard stare like people are saying

[jd1060]

when I saw Obama's response to the question live, I was like "Good for him!"

[abennett4]

CBS's focus group, wired up for the press conference, loved President Obama's response, the ticker practically shot off the chart. Ed Henry was clearly trying to grandstand.

[dubdub911]

unpresibential to say i like to know what im talking about before i speak

[melquideses]

Because Bush did know how to "talk" in a "PRESIDENTIAL" way right? "Obambi" Its all what these republican waste have got to put up? 3 month of presidency and it is its fault? Why don't the republicans do the same; Got to know what they're talking about before they speak other wise here is a hint: SHUT UP!

[wntoply6]

i truly love and respect this guy. he is an inspiration to america and the world.

take note you lying, bigoted, intolerant haters who are proud but ignorant members of the "christian"republican party.

this man can teach all of you how to be REAL christians.

[DrunkenPublicness]

"...then they use their interpretation as an excuse to hate anyone and everyone not like them."

[wntoply6]

as coleb23 responded to my comment you "christian"republican, ignorant, intolerant, lying hating bigot..."AMEN!!!"

[DrunkenPublicness]

"...then they use their interpretation as an excuse to hate anyone and everyone not like them."

Hypocrite!

[wntoply6]

yadda, yadda, yadda. get a new line! frankly you've become quite a boring little man drunkenpublicness.

now tell me, are your political beliefs what real americans embrace today? you probably do think so, dispite the fact your ideas & your party were kicked out of washington in the last 2 elections, most likely cause they're detremental to america.

ignorance, bigotry, intolerance, hate and incompetence are not appreciated in the most educated free country in the world, now is it?

[DrunkenPublicness]

You want me to get a new line, Mr. "Christian" Republican? I didn't realize your hypocricy ran so deep. Wait a minute. Yes I did.

And what exactly is my party wyntoply6? And how did this party get kicked out of Washington? I thought Obama won the election. Did I miss something?

"...ignorance, bigotry, intolerance, hate and incompetence are not appreciated in the most educated free country in the world."

Hypocrite!

[DrunkenPublicness]

wntpoly6, you've already labeled me a "Christian" Republican, despite the fact that I've informed you more than once that I voted for Obama, the man you claim to love.

Your political beliefs are driven by a hatred for the other side of the aisle. You're giving the Democratic party a bad name for focusing on the negative of the other side, while doing NOTHING to promote a positive image for your own party.

You are an embarrassing, hateful, hypocrite. I will contionue to remind you of this.

[wntoply6]

for christ sakes, idiot, when are you and the rest of you "christian" bastards gonna learn to read and understand written english. but then again i do directly address "christians" here buddy. confused yet?

just as you're ignorance in english is apparent, so is your understanding of the political shpere. best shut the hell up until you're educated.

[coleb23]

AMEN!!!

[eye7view]

The president is usually the last to know. It's not like he works at AIG.

[Jvillajd]

Got what he deserved

[hellgas0]

And I am sure that you were equally as mad when bush unnessisarily added 4 trillion to the national debt.

[CommonSenseJoe]

He had to manufacture outrage because HE knew about the bonuses long before they become public.

[DrunkenPublicness]

It took two days to respond because the #1 and #2 recipients of AIG campaign donatons were no other than Dodd and Obama, respectively.

Of all the politicians in Washington, is it merely a coincidence that Dodd's office inserted the bonuses into the bailout and Obama gave it final blessing?

I smell something.

[ottoskidoo]

Obama has been president less than 3 months and all this is HIS fault. Right. After 8 years of Bush/Cheney screwing...Where was the GOP outrage then? Oh yeah, they were calling us all traitors.

[seekanddestroy09]

ed shoulda threw his shoes at him LMAO

[dragonlancet]

For those who believe Rush Limbaugh is the greatest, would believe that any snake that hisses on Obama is qualified to be the next best thing. Ed Henry is nothing but an example of jack asses in a long line of George W's ass kissers. His attitude and comments about Obama on the CNN testify that. Where was Ed Henry and Anderson Cooper when Bush W was destroying the U.S for 8 miserable years?

[myralangerhas]

Smackdown???? Its a lie. He knew about it. Lied about it. And then expressed his righteous indignation about it. Fraud.

And if you believe this liar-in-chief that he didnt know about it - then why didnt he???? An incompetent at best, liar at worst.

[405z06]

This man is a complete fraud it will continue to become more and more evident to all as the days pass.

I know it felt really good for some of you to vote for a half-black guy with a Muslim-sounding name, but maybe next time do a bit more due diligence in regards to looking at his past associations and (lack of) experience that night qualify him for POTUS.

[Vergadoce]

I guess GW Bush and Dick Cheney understood the economy much better. And all the dinosaurs in Congress over the past 20-30 years who oversaw this train wreck, such as Phil Graham who passed a bill to allow commercial and investment banks to consolidate to convolute this entire mess. Oh, using the nimrod logic, that's Obama's fault.

[camilogarcia]

CNN i think is time you look into your staff performance! specially when you are referring to the president of the United States.

[waterblom]

I hope you are being sarcastic camilogarcia!

It is the press's DUTY to question him and to hold him acountable. He is not a king or a god or a holy man.

He is working for US, so yes, let the press question him!

They are not doing it enough!

[Taino187]

Prez Obama didnt Smackdown Henry, He Shutdown Henry's attempt at trying to stir up controversy for News Headlines gains.

Good move on Obama's part.

[AC101666]

condescending prickO!!

[Taino187]

Ed Henry is just looking to stir up controversy, (he is one of a few other reporters there) that you could almost say arent reporters at all, and instead call them Papparattssi.

The "push push push we want stories we want headlines we want controversy" types.

Those types desperately want Prez Obama to say something outrageous so they can make headlines with it.

I hope Prez Obama continues to be focus! and doesnt get swayed by some of the media Pirahnna.

mimarino9 you got it right, but waiting for him to know what he's talking about is like saying were waiting to know why he okayed bonus for AIG. The mystery man did it!  Amazing isn't it. Obamanics cannot see him do anything wrong. Bush did some dumb shit and people called him on it. Its OK people he is not god, he is not going to pay your rent!

Ed Got OWNED with his dumb azz questions. Thats what he gets.

[AskThiesmansLeg]

wow.....these comments are beyond idiotic......coming from Obamabots. Rather than stretching your leg muscles to go down on the President for long periods of time, you might want to pay attention to his answers. He wanted to know what he was talking about before he spoke, but yet he still got it wrong with AIG. From not knowing about the bonuses (they did) to making Dodd take the sword for them.....this is politics at it's worst. "But he looks so brilliant!!!" All style no substance....

[mimarino9]

Smackdown? How is he brilliant when by his own admission he didn't know what he was talking about until days later regarding the bonuses...hmmm

[seekanddestroy09]

give a real reply to the question not a deflect and run mr president

[DoranP900]

Tell Obama he needs to acutally ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION not just dance around it. Thanks.

[allismind]

[ljiang88]

SMACKDOWN!!

[joyeful]

[GSLSoccer1]

Obama is the man!!! Thats why he's president. Can anybody imagine if McCain in da Membrain and Sarah Failin were P and VP after seeing all the shit thats out there????? Holy shit... I wonder if Ed Henry's tryin to be the new republican leader...

[wolverine1635]

Thanks Mr. President for gettin in that foolish reporter's ass! What a stupid ass question. Let the AIG CRAP GO, it's over and done with, we're trying to move on and this idiot wants to rehash bullshit from a week ago. Way to go Barack.... way to lay the pipe in that idiot's ass!!!

[niemanickurwa]

[Amneris3]

[bostonkalloway]

ED HENRY IS AN IDIOT!!!.. wants to ask like 5 questions at one go when most reporters were getting only 1 and a follow up. he tries to hard, no wonder he doesn't have he's own show
