President Barack Obama declined to take any questions from reporters about his controversial and significant decision to offer a de-facto amnesty to at least 800,000 foreigners aged 15 to 30.
The president turned and walked away from reporters at the end of an early afternoon address in the White House’s Rose Garden, even though two reporters called out questions about his decision.
The announcement of the decision comes at a time of record unemployment among low-skilled workers, Hispanics and African-Americans.
Since when is the White House Press Corps asking questions considered disrespectful? It is their job to ask questions!
Quote:
The president has often used this no-questions strategy when making important or poll-boosting announcements.
800,000 people that don't belong here. We have people out of work and yet he wants these people to stay here and take our resources. The President does not care about this country. He does not care about the people out of work. He does not care about the laws of our country. He does not understand how this can upset people.
How is this going to help the inner city black kids that need a job badly to escape poverty
Wow..just wow. You call that "heckling". The President didn't take questions.
I thought the question was pretty valid given the lack of jobs for those that are citizens.
Right thing to do for the American people ? Who is he kidding..it's the right thing for him to do to corner the Hispanic vote, that's what it is.
Here's what he said.."heckling" ?
"The heckler, who challenged the president about how unemployed Americans could be affected, visibly upset the president, who said: "This is the right thing to do for the American people.""
It's one thing to be a moron..... but it's a complete other to open ones mouth and verify it !
Well said and apt in this case.
