Seriously, we have a president who does this every day. And his consequence was losing the house. A reporter who asks questions the president doesn't like deserves no consequences. It's his job.

The President was asked, after signing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act, about Accosted getting his pass back -- short video in this article. I didn't know the judge had told the White House to compile a set of rules. Good idea so everyone knows what is expected.

What rules does Trump want...don't ask questions he doesn't know the answer to. Poor baby. Our country is a democracy. We elected Trump so he answers to us not the other way around. If he doesn't like it then too bad.

Then resisting the young staffer's retrieval of a microphone that wasn't Jim Acosta's with an at minimum "physical deflection" was just uncalled for.

Jim Acosta is not a journalist, he's an attention wh**e.

But due process. There should be a process to weed out non-journalists from White House Press Meetings so let us move forward.

In my mind it wasn't the questions he asked as much as his demeanor, his behavior and his refusal to take no for an answer. Like Trump or hate him, he is still the POTUS. That title should warrant some respect from a nobody from CNN. He is a journalist and until this even I had never heard of him. Many reporters ask Trump tough questions, why did he single out this one?

Maybe you should read more of my posts. I am not a liberal. And the words democracy and republic are both used to describe our country. Perhaps you should read more to enlighten yourself about it.

You didn't answer the question.

Oh, and congratulations. Is that what you do all day, watch TV?

What an ignorant post.

There was no need for that. Obama is a knowledgeable person who can answer questions about his statements, decisions, and policies.

She lies. A lot.

Did she provide any names? That’s rhetorical; I know she didn’t. People are telling her...
