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 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.

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’?
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
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.

I remember that time he said it,he had been invited by a GOVERNOR,
she had prepared all kinds of goodies for the guess and him specialy,
when she offerd him a plate
he refused because his taster was not with him,
THAT TO ME WAS AWFULL, AND TO REMEMBERED,
