that was very non-presidential, IMO.
A slave to his ego every time.

Quite funny really.

The same group that celebrated when Couric made Palin squirm, should be celebrating that Baier made obama squirm.
No comparision, Palin is a lying fool and Obama is the POTUS! Hell he knew that he would be attacked by those corperate slaves, Palyin was asked simple questions without any help an nutted up!

The White House picked Baier because he's a rooke and appears passive.

Well folks it's beginning; Walgreen's in Washington State will no longer take medicaid patients Rx as of this coming April. They will keep current patient's on but no new ones (it's due to cut's).

Local News | Walgreens: no new Medicaid patients as of April 16 | Seattle Times Newspaper

It's happening in Illinois as well. I live in Hawaii and just passed a bunch of protesters outside a Walgreen's over here (people are getting nervous).

This is just the beginning. I don't believe people understand the ramifications of what will happen if the current bill/bills pass. The money; there is no money tree?

What do you do as the interviewer, when the POTUS will not answer questions with a direct answer on a show the POTUS wanted to go on; on a station the White House previously condemned?

Baier was as polite as he could be. It was Obama who was evasive and rude.

Walgreens discriminating against the poor. No mentions of the profits (ripping people off) who fill with private insurance. sure they don't.

No worries. Obamessiah will step in and regulate private businesses and deem legislation declaring they must sell at government controlled prices. Back in the USSR....you don't know how lucky you are boy...back in the USSR.

I would rather vote for a person of average intelligence that is ethical, honest, and straight-forward, than a brilliant arrogant, egotistical, manipulative, corrupt, Socialist pig.

Oh boy. Look, if Walgreens doesn't want to fill them....then good for them. I am pretty sure there is a CVS directly across the street or within a 3 block radius. Their loss is someone else's gain. Free market at work.

Good for you. I think President Obama is doing an Excellent job, and continues to do what is right for this country. Even if people are the right don't want him to since they won't get any credit for it. Just like Civil Rights Bill, Cobra and other little things we have now.

Ha ha ha ha .....no, the point is that Walgreens is refusing to take a LOSS by filling Medicare prescriptions below their own cost. A business cannot operate giving product away at a loss. You actually think another company wants to pick up this Medicare business and suffer similar loss?
