Reporters grill Obama

President Obama’s Asia trip has received some tough criticism back in the United States, but the traveling press seems to be giving the president an easy enough time. In Japan on Friday, pool reporters inquired as to whether he’s getting enough sleep and whether he liked the Mount Fiji–shaped ice-cream dessert he had at a dinner in Japan.

Per the pool report:

Pool was ushered to a hold area at the end of a hallway in the hotel, where Obama, after a false start, walked down the hall.

Asked by Julie Pace of the AP if he slept well, he said, “I’m still on 4 am time.”

Another reporter asked Obama if he like the ice cream dessert in the shape of Mt. Fuji served at the state dinner.

Obama nodded, saying, “They have the green tea at the bottom that I’ve spoken of having when I was six, and I was very pleased,” Obama said. “It was delicious.”

The apparently jet-lagged president made sure to share the press’s lightweight treatment while speaking with Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko later:

“The press was asking if I enjoyed the green tea ice cream,” Obama said.

“Did you enjoy it?” the empress asked.

“Yes, absolutely,” he replied.

President Obama is currently in Seoul on the second leg of his weeklong trip.

The media is turning on President Obama

With multiple crises spiraling out of control around the world, stories about the Obama presidency are taking on the air of postmortems. What went wrong, who’s to blame, what next — even The New York Times is starting to recognize that Dear Leader is a global flop.

Reporters grill Obama

With a little onion, tomato and some cheese?
😉

I sure am glad they don’t ask him how many tasters he’s gone through.

If Cliven Bundy had received that kind of press grilling, they would be calling him a national treasure.

Unfortunately those are about as tough a questions that he can handle. Maybe the press has figured that out.

@Jim S: that would probably put a bad taste in your mouth.

The lamestream media “turning on Obama.”
How could that be possible?
I’ll believe it when Sarah confirms.

Rich Wheeler
it”s as possible as claiming CLEVEN BUNDY A RACIST, on false pretense,
and they all fell in it, even some who where on his side,
turned on him,
you don’t want such friends, with heads following the wind,
on their back

@ilovebeeswarzone: Did you listen to what Bundy said?
Aqua says he is ignorant. Does that excuse his comments?

Rich Wheeler
is in it easyer to call a person ignorant , than to be ignorant enough to miss,
the meaning of words, by working hard to understand the words,
and not doing so,
decide to call one ignorant,

YES I READ IT, I HEARD IT TOO,
NO RACIST THERE ON HIS SIDE,
BUT WHITE RACIST ON HIS BACK,

Bees, don’t sweat it.

Dick Spinner is a paid POS troll who lies by omission, by commission and by ignorance.

ESPN Analyst: Where Was Outrage After Harry Reid Said Obama Had ‘No Negro Dialect’?

Robert Smith, the former Ohio State and Minnesota Vikings running back who is now an ESPN analyst, wondered on Sunday, regarding the Donald Sterling controversy, why there was no outrage when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called President Barack Obama a “light-skinned” African American with no “negro dialect” in 2010.

Where was all this outage when senator Harry Reid talked about Obama only using the “negro dialect” when he wanted to? — robert smith (@ESPNRobertSmith) April 27, 2014

Being ignorant and having very poor language and oratory skills does not necessarily make a person “racist” when they screw-up trying to expose a concept, and unintentionally say something that can be interpreted as “racist”

Black leader says Bundy remarks not racist

“He wasn’t talking so much about black folks, but about the harm and damage that the leftist socialism has done to blacks,” said former U.N. Ambassador Alan Keyes…(snip)

…Ammon Bundy, Cliven Bundy’s son, told WND that the quotes were taken out of context and that his father was commiserating over the poor situation in which blacks find themselves because of oppressive government programs, regulations and practices.

Keyes said that was evident.

“I find it appalling that we basically have a history of the leftist liberalism that wants to extinguish black people by abortion [and] destroying the family structure,” Keyes told WND. “All of these things if you just look at the effects, you would say this was planned by some racist madman to destroy the black community.”

Then when somebody comes along to comment on that damage, the leftists all scream “racism,” he said.

“I think it’s time somebody started to recognize the racism that exists in its effects – the hard leftist ideology using the black community for their sacrificial lamb, for their sick ideology. It’s time we called them what they are,” he said.

“Now it’s racist to point it out.”

The MSM has a long established practice (similar to Alynski tactics,) that they employ against those they want to discredit, and that is: record everything the person says, then creatively edit to portray them in as bad a light as possible.
