Sounds like sarcasm, to me.

The Obama comment was made to an entire group of "special reporters" in a closed meeting to give them "guidance" before his New Conference. The NYT was NOT the only media at this meeting - they were just the media that actually reported what he said ...... and then made it go "POOF!" when the White House demanded it disappear.

Obama once again said that he actually gets all his information from watching Cable News.
What a Fool he is.

Not a surprise, they are just political pigs interested in creating news rather than reporting it.

In 1984 parlance this is known as "down the memory hole"

Do you require a time machine to go back to 1945, so you can be there when the concentration camps were liberated, so you can be certain the holocaust really happened?

Too bad it clearly wasn't when you look at the context - make it easier to deflect in defense of dear leader. He then clearly outlined strategies to alleviate the real anxiety.

However, Obama responding callously with sarcasm to that question would be worse than him just being a buffoon, so I am not sure you want to go that route.

Stick with the tried and successful: "I didn't find out about it until the media told me, I found out the same time you did."

The New York Times has NEVER been a reputable news source.

Sounds more like a buffoon, to me. And he has sounded like, exactly like, a buffoon for years.

Oh aren't you fun. You compare a rational question to....holocaust deniers?

Its 2015, theres video of everything, and tons of data. Asking for a link showing it is not unreasonable at all. But to you its 1945, and I am denying the holocaust.

Sheesh.
