President Obama to Reporter: "I Like to Know What I'm Talking About Before I Speak"

[EGarrett01]

Obama grins at :09 because he knows the answer he's about to give.

[GMSamuelRhine]

god this dude is awesome. way to tell off j ackass reporters

[greatgatsb90210]

It wasn't just the pimin response. It was the "alright?" at :19

[ssips720]

obama is the fucking man..

[SgtRambo562]

damn thats pimp

[SgtRambo562]

damn thats pimp

[kingdax23]

thats not funni

[PedrosMusic]

Lol. No Obama. You needed time to masturbate. You do NOT know what your talking about. Hahaha. Asshole. >.>

[Welcometomylife2441]

@PedrosMusic your the asshole here..

[wooliebullie]

@PedrosMusic Clever, looks like you really know what your talking about.

[bolatluver29]

hey obama? why didnt you do that with the cambridge police? XP

[th3gr8juan]

Obviously he doesn't like to know all the facts before he acts. Firing Sherrod without knowing all the facts. Saying the cop that arrested his professor buddy acted "stupidly" without knowing all the facts. I really like how he picks and chooses where he likes to know the facts. And then his AG has the fact about the Black Panthers in Pennsylvania and they do nothing.

[andro89]

except when he doesn't "have any of the facts, but police acted stupidly"

[XVXderekXVX]

i love this guy obama rocks

[ao0990]

probably one of the smartest things a president has ever said at a forum. i guess reporters are going to have to get used to a president who likes to know what he's talking about before speaking

[lettersfromaboy]

Oh yeah, five words, zero intelligence, and 10 folds a hyprocrite, known as Barack Obama. The Henry Louis Gates Incident. Look into it, read about it, and I'm sure that your view on Obama will change. You know, just like his slogan of hope and change. LOL

What a joke.

[CodeCobalt]

MAHAHAHA you are joking right? How many times has he made it abundantly clear that he has no clue what he's talking about?

[tjr0ver]

if you watch the lead up to Obama's answer (not shown in this vid), the question asked was actually a complex multipronged question that Obama took the time to break down and address, all except for that last part which was asked again and received this rather terse answer and rightfully so, the man takes the time to artfully and completely answer a multipronged question but the only followup is the tabloid fodder question so the reporter deserved to be called out and made to look stupid

[andycorremucho]

oh shit son!! alphaaa

[SamTheHammer]

President Obama made that guy look stupid!

[supercowman]

u kno obama got popeyes and kfc got the fuki nspeed dial nigga dats y it tuk him a couple days cos his fingers were fukin greased up nigga from all dem chikkinz n popeyes special nigga

[Vice001]

y did u even comment?

u cant even type right. What made u think u could even give a comment worth posting. Dumb niggas as usual

[Jumpen4Fun]

Obama ftw =D

[CodeCobalt]

If the comeback were true maybe. Obama admitted to not having a clue as to what he was saying about closing gitmo, WHILE HE WAS SAYING IT!

"I don't know what will happen to the prisoners at gitmo once it is closed in 1 year. But I trust they can figure it out in a year."

Then a few months later going back and saying "uh, sorry guys.... can't close gitmo within 1 year like I promised." but that went pretty unnoticed, as it discredited him in several ways.

[thequesadilla11]

that reporters penis had to have shrank after that zinger of a comeback

[bigblockmustang]

Google... One World Goverment.. It will start to all come together!

[tjr0ver]

oh great, another crazy conspiracy theorist. go smoke some more pot.

[Vice001]

i like pot..

[Champraves311]

Fucking Owned.

[flyboymd82]

Obama's a liar. He and all his croneys knew the exec's were going to get bonuses. It was IN THE BILL THEY WROTE!

If his statement is true, he should keep his mouth shut permanately.

[mkzzzzzz]

Obama vs. Fox 1-0

[clash360]

Nice a quick anwser usually takes him 20 mins.

[VeeVeeNorCalBabe]

alright BARACK!

[knt2000]

I'm glad Obama told him off. Ed Henry is a fat piece of shit.

[mkzzzzzz]

knt200, I agree

[creaturesGREATnSmall]

You already knew what was going on you lying bastard! You, and Barney Frank and Tax Cheatin' Tim , et al already KNEW about those bonuses!!! Freakin' liars!

But you didn't say anything because you wanted the public to get fired up and angry so that you could use it to advance your agenda to socialize our free market economy and grow government control wherever you can. You pompous jerk!

Barry, you should absolutely be ashamed of yourself!

[Coyotefreak1]

Obama is an idiot '_' what have we done..

[mkzzzzzz]

No, Coyotefreak1, the fucking idiot and peice of shit is you.

[JahnC]

Ed Henry tried to say afterward that Obama was frustrated when he said what he said- do me a favor, refresh your browser, and turn the volume down, and look at this man, does he look frustrated? No, he looks calm as a cuke and havin his stuff together, like he always does.

[IndefinitelyBi]

OOO He shut that asshole up! GO OBAMA!

[creaturesGREATnSmall]

Now if we could only find out how to shut that asshole Obama up?!! What a phony!

No no, don't bother commenting on this, just drink some more kool-aid and you brain will settle down to a dull drone again!

[getmeinnow222]

How is Obama a dull drone?

[DNI12333]

In the alternate universe that republicans inhabit Obama is a terrible public speaker. In addition to being a secret muslim illegal immigrant terrorist and the antichrist. I guess what I'm trying to say is that republicans are Faulknerian manchildren and you should ignore everything they say about anything ever.

[mkzzzzzz]

No, creaturesGREATnSmall , the fucking asshole and piece of shit is you.

[NLinn]

HAHAHHAAHA.

PWNT!

[Coyotefreak1]

Obama is an idiot '_' what have we done..

[Eball06]

What have we done..? Man, STFU, quit trying to sound like you voted for him.

[StashBurners]

We made the right choice is what we did.

[Edd360]

OH NO HE DI'ENT

[wilsonpwt]

I know what you mean. More people are starting to find out about the World Food Code - Codex Alimentarius.

It appears our government is being manipulated one way or another to serve the goals of the UN, the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization. Food control equals people control -- and population control. Is this beginning to sound like world government and one-world order? Could this be the real goal behind Codex Alimentarius?

[shoalman]

A happynugget, why would you give a break to someone whose been in office for only a short period of time when they have passed more bills in that short period of time than any other president in a similar duration?

Would you allow a child to aim a loaded gun at himself and then give him time to pull the trigger, cause he's young and inexperienced. Or would you take it away before he does irreparable damage?

He's moving too far too fast, this AIG thing is a sign of it.

[shoalman]

Oh and yeah, he did promise to go through bills line by line. And he did promise not to allow earmarks. But when 40% of the Earmarks were put in by Republicans...we should all know this ain't about party lines. It's about the people we elect to Congress not doing what's in OUR best interest...yet we re-elect the same fools over and over again.

And to whomever said Obama 1 - Fox News 0 the reporter was from CNN. Just sayin' ;)

[shoalman]

Obama's men, Dodd and Geithner, knew about this crap. And should've discussed with him. But actually AIG bonuses are only $165 mil out of trillions (that's 1,000,000,000,000 vs 165,000,000)! Bush started the mess and Obama's gonna make it worse. And America is still playing cheerleader for Dems vs Repubs...while ALL of Congress and the gubmint sells our future away while we fight amongst each other.

it's not Obama's fault...nor Bush's...it's OUR fault for not running Congress. We failed!

[IndefinitelyBi]

I agree, people need to stop worrying about whos a Democrat and republican but who is going to really be smart about spending. I think Obama is doing a better job and I'm glad we got him and not McCain but I still hope that congress will stop being greedy bastards and pass some laws that can actually help working familes and struggling people.

[davedoug]

are people seriously trying to blame the shit mess we're in now on Obama..?! christ, you people are fucking thick...

this is the one person willing to correct that spoiled bastard's fuck ups.

let him do his job and say thankyou ..

oh , and in the meantime ..save your money like the rest of us living within our means.

[ahappynugget2]

for real the guys has only been in office for a blink of an eye. its just people are ignorant and racist and etc... they don't want to see what they hate succeed.

[ChairmanZero]

What I was pissed about was that this mofo axed a question that wasn't on the prearranged script.

[dilan4me]

Obama was angry because he couldn't read off of his teleprompter to respond to the question. Everyone thinks he "owned" the reporter. No, "owning" the reporter would be answering honestly and truthfully. Instead he skirted around the truth and tried to cover up his ignorance. Obama is the most corrupt President on day one in our lifetime (other than maybe Nixon after Watergate), but the lemmings don't want to open their eyes.

[Rhezoloution]

u r an idiot, i bet you miss Bush and listen to Limpballs

[omegaracer1]

hmm i thought it was bush admin that started this whole bail out thing, why you blaming him for signing it, and yeah the question was stupid

[charlesw617]

.... smart man

[Gihga]

ouch

[fckallnamestaken]

Obama 1. fox news 0. lol can't wait for the next round.

[dtaijo174]

hmm... i wonder why he wasn't outraged before he signed the f'ing bill?

So much for reading every bill "line by line" like he promised in the campaign.

[powerkerb]

coz he didnt sign a bill that says AIG can spend all the taxpayers money in bonuses. you should try to know what youre talking about before you speak.

[dtaijo174]

look power, i voted from Obama. Remember AIG got another shot in the arm with the second $350(ish) Billion of the TARP funds. Obama was in charge then. Bush gave em' 85B, Obama 93.

Not trying to be a prick here, but I'm pissed off at him. He's not doing what he promised.

[Pkr]

I agree... the question was really stupid... the answer sharp.

[TVME]

Reporter fail.

[MrStrusz]

Oh SNAP!

[rjl2000]

Real great answer Obama. Fact is, you knew all about the bonuses. What's the matter? Don't like getting called out on it in front of the whole country you fraud!

[cajete]

Yea... AND HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU HAVE ANSWERED IT?

[tigerakabj]

CNN cried after this and tried their best to console their boy from getting pwned by Barack.

[playfyte]

The word is "Touche' " You are dealing with a man who was a law profesor. Not someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth groomed and preped to become president on the basis of his father's legacy. This is a man who takes his position very seriously. He really gives the issues the serious in depth considerations that are due. And these are some very serious issues. He is not going to give an answer filled with double speak wrapped in self serving political spin. Get used to the truth.

[rjl2000]

Ya, the sad part is...HE DIDN'T GIVE AN ANSWER!...Next question LOL! True sign of someone who is so damn guilty of those AIG bonuses he didn't have the balls to fess up to it! CHANGE...YES WE CAN...LMAO!

[chessplayersmate]

Enjoy your two digit IQ

[rjl2000]

WOAH! You really tore me apart on that one LOL!

[playfyte]

rjl2000 I don't understand how you can say that. Look at the video again carefully. He was asked why it took him a few days to respond to the situation. And he said it took him a few days because he likes to know what he's talking about before he speaks. Sounds pretty cut and dry to me. There wasn't much any one could do about the bonuses because they are a matter of contract law. They were there before this crisis became this administration's problem. I'm sure you can understand that much.

[octogenerian413]

Actually there was something they could've done about those bonuses......they could have not given them 87 billion dollars and let them sink into bankruptcy and then renegotiate those onerous contracts. Maybe then the vast majority of the public wouldn't feel duped into paying these executives for plunging our economy into this hole we are currently in.

[rosa7271]

listen to the "kay" near the end, it's like he relized where he messed up and tries to just sway it by.

[brothermoon]

Obama uses a deceptive answer to avoid examination and gets a round of applause and adulation from the lemmings. Geithner and Dodd put and knew of the bonus allowances put into the AIG package. Phone outrage is pathetic and more of the same dishonesty and lack of transparency of this admin. Oh and nice preselection of which reporters may ask questions, BHO. No financial journalists? Ok, whatever you say, your Lordship.

[ponybastard999]

Hum...lets switch tables if it was mCain up there, My guess is that he'll be bragging about putting a COMMISSION together to find out why and how this mess got started while Amercia continue to sink like the Titanic. At least President Obama is trying clean up this pile of shit left behind by the previous owners.

[ponybastard999]

bahahahhaha!  Mr. Henry just got a Presidential boot up his ass.

[arnez8706]
