OBAMA MOCKS FOX CORRESPONDENT WHO ASKS WHY HE WANTS HIGHER GAS PRICES |
Ed, just from a political perspective, do you think that the President of the United States going into re-election wants gas prices to go higher? Is there anybody here who thinks that makes a lot of sense? President Barack Obama asked at todays press conference, after Fox News correspondent Ed Henry accused him of supporting higher gas prices. Heres the bottom line with respect to gas prices. I want gas prices lower because they hurt families.

Obama should have concluded his remarks with, "And, Ed...if you believe I want higher gas prices,"

If Faux Snooze can have a seat at a Presidential press conference, why can't The Daily Show?

No weeds for Obama. He knows how to stay out and highlight his agenda.

Fox News will cut it down to "I want gas prices lower" and then everyone will chime in...

I cannot imagine how much it must pain Obama to have to treat Fox folk as real journalists

Obama could have asked why Fox News and Republicans love higher gas prices?
