Now that is a memory that Republicans need to be reminded of.

If N Korea has them so does Iran. It is a dog and pony show at this point. If we don't get it by now we never will.

It's like the wars with Eurasia and Eastasia; they are never ending - if they are in fact happening - and our government is in place to ensure those wars exist.

Exaxtly and that is my point, Obama cannot stand to be stung, unless of course he is the one doing the stinging. Then lo and behold, he just carries on and on. But perfectly acceptable for him to have a bad attitude, or ask questions he demands answers to. It is his attitude, toward questions he does not want to answer, his bullish nature of course kicks in.

We have all seen it, unless of course you are living under a rock. Obama is the best backpedaler around.

How many times have we seen him packpedaling from the truth. He does this to save his own skin.

About damn sweet time, someone has the guts to ask of him tough questions.

Obama's response was seen. Appeared he was out of words for a few very long seconds. Guess Valerie's mic to Obama's ear went down.

You can keep your doctor. Period !
Shovel ready jobs
Solyndra was a good investment
ISIS is the JV team
AQ is on the run
It was the video

So in case you missed his latest lie, Obama claimed it was good deal negotiated form a position of strength.

As for the hostages, the other salivating partner countries eager for oil and buisiness ops would hardly have objected if JK mentioned the hostages. It defies earthy logic that against 100 billion dollar gift and all the other benefits that Iran stood to gain that 4 American hostages would stall the deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 hostages for 100 billion dollars!!!????? that would be like a restaurant providing you with a table, chair, plate, knife, spoon, a fork and a napkin so you can eat the most expensive food on the menu.

Obama is indeed an alien...an alien from another galaxy. In different light, he appears green and is silicon based.

A very straight forward question, which Obummer cannot handle.
Nonsense!
There is nothing journalistic about Garrett or anyone at FOX. That is why Obama had to hand Ed Henry his hat in a different press conference. This is Gotcha reporting. These people are not JOURNALISTS. This is a disservice to the public by what is called news media.

Now the question was ridiculous. Why would a world leader hold up an agreement that effects millions of people in order to get a couple of people released? Why would a President tell Garrett what is going on behind the scenes to get the release of those individuals. It is just idiotic. I think Garrett now works for CBS but the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree (FOX).

This fact and question/answer should be on every nightly news program.

So now the leader of the free world must be protected from tough questions and excused for acting like petulant brat.

Good that you Obots are finally admitting what real Americans have known all along.

Your Dear Leader has no clothes.

It is a waste of time to try and use reason or logic with the O-cult/Obots. They will mindlessly defend their messiah to no end.

It's more like the restaurant building you a mansion abutting them so you can eat every meal there as well as compensating you for putting you out of your routine.
You still wouldn't come close to what $100B will buy.

Damn! I could have sworn that it was a Republican governor and a republican controlled Legislature that couldn't get the confederate flag down fast enough. In fact, IIRC: it was one of the fastest pieces of legislation ever passed in South Carolina and demonstrated how efficient the South Carolina government works when it wants to.

Are you saying the Democrats and Obama did that? I'm impressed.
