I can understand why Chris Wallace asked this question. Given his guest’s propensity for gaffes, such as picking the name of a dead hero as a live Medal of Honor winner, botching a toast to Queen Elizabeth II, discussing the high points ofthe Austrian language, and several references to a military medic as a “corpseman,” it might be hard to take the person seriously.
Oh, wait — Wallace wasn’t interviewing Barack Obama after all:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOoCB-nw9TU[/youtube]Jim Hoft calls this “awful,” but it’s just the same old double standard applied to Republicans. We have yet to hear any serious coverage from the national media of Obama’s hundreds of gaffes while in the White House, just as we heard little of his “57 or 58 states” remark and other gaffes on the campaign trail, such as the six-month string that produced these doozies:
- The Selma March in 1965 did not contribute to his birth in 1961.
- Kansas tornadoes in May 2007 killed 12 people, not “ten thousand”.
- Afghans do not speak Arabic.
- Within 24 hours, Obama reversed his assertion that Iran did not pose a “serious threat” to the US to an assertion that the threat is “grave”.
- Declaring that Memorial Day honors an “unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today“
- Saying that his uncle liberated Auschwitz
- Asserted that the Nuremberg tribunals offered habeas corpus and appeal rights
- Referred to “the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor“
Did any of the national media ask Barack Obama in the summer of 2008 if he was a “flake”?
Rep. B answered quite well, too.
She interated her resume.
It was quite amazing.
I was unaware of so much of her background.
The media hides her good and hides Obama’s bad.
I think that I would have answered simply, and shortly, and then got up and left the interview after directing the question, “Are you a serious journalist, or simply a hack?”, to him.
Hey Chris, when did you stop beating your wife?!!! Grow up you moron.
I would have say, yes I like corn flakes in the morning, no flyes,
like you have on your mouth yack, disgusting, you make me throw up
at you.
Is he auditioning for a job with MSNBC? I expected alot better of him. Sure ask the tough questions, but he seemed dead set on attacking rather than interviewing. I was very disappointed in him.
