The statement below is FALSE - A big fat LIE
Neil Munro, White House Correspondent: I always go to the White House prepared with questions for our president. I timed the question believing the president was closing his remarks, because naturally I have no intention of interrupting the President of the United States. I know he rarely takes questions before walking away from the podium. When I asked the question as he finished his speech, he turned his back on the many reporters, and walked away while I and at least one other reporter asked questions.

It's called BREACH OF PROTOCOL.
That Irish idiot needs to have his US citizenship revoked and deported back to Ireland and declared persona non grata.

This will be the message that most will hear, I know better because of my friends here on DU, but working all day and not interested enough to check the facts, many just take what they hear.

(21,925 posts)Didn't Cantor claim that during the debt talks Obama suddenly walked out, when it was actually Cantor who did just that? And it seemed to me that Munro interrupted Obama more than once. Maybe three times?

(15,806 posts)Ever since 2000 the rightwing has treated us as though we are beyond stupid. Wonder what gave them that idea? At any rate, it's time we put a stop to it.
Wish I had the know-how to make a repeating tape of the President shutting the guy down, would make wonderful background music at phonebanks, etc. ...

Don't be surprised if some right wing outhouse accuses Obama of eating babys.
Be less surprised if some of the fools in the Teaparty party believe it.
Because they want to believe it.

(37,540 posts)Adding loss of any credibility to an asinine and rude interruption makes him a bigger doofus. He'll end up apologizing.
Don't see a whole lot of daylight between Fox News and Daily Caller....both are in the tank for Rmoney. But I'd expect nothing less from a inherited wealth baby (Swanson Foods) with his frat boy, elitist schtick. He's doing what he can for the team, I certainly expect more of this sophomoric, disruptive behavior from Rmoney-Koch media proxies. Tucker, whose dad spear headed Scooter Libby's legal defense fund, will be orchestrating more of these stunts because that's giving his disinformation blog more exposure and helping solidy his reputation as a political hack.
