Major (should be called Minor from now on) Garret was not asking a question. He attacked by using a news conference to state as a fact the false assumption that Obama is "content" signing the Iran agreement while Iran holds four of our citizens as prisoners.

What a cheap shot on Garret's part. Really cheap.

That's the state of our so-called "journalism" today, and that is why I do not want to subscribe to cable. The news stations are propaganda tools for the right-wing for the most part.

Laughed so hard I almost P'd mahself.

President Obama is definitely going to be one of the greatest US presidents of history. His list of achievements is nothing short of staggering.. especially when you consider the state of affairs the shrub left us in for him to deal with.

“Sometimes you have to take a scolding from a president to get to an answer,” Garrett said. “That’s part of my job.”

“Politics, especially those elected as president, are very adept at creating straw men…that’s exactly what the president did,” Garrett said. “Clearly it struck an serve. That was my intention…Was it provocative? Yes. Was it intended to be as such? Absolutely.”
