Show some respect.

Ed Henry refused to stand up while asking The President a question, and then interrupted the answer. He should not ever be acknowledged again.

at least it looked that way. I was walking away at the time.

Just tired of the general disrespect these jackasses show the POTUS and the office.

Not enough challenging him on details.

The press is lazy, stupid, and interested in nothing more than ratings...

Maybe they could read his budget and challenge him on specifics that may be controversial.

Maybe they can read what other types of revenue raisers are possible that are progressive and test him on all of those.

I ALREADY KNOW HE WILL NOT COMMENT ON PETRAEUS UNTIL INVESTIGATION WAS DONE.
I ALREADY KNOW MCCAIN AND LINDSAY GRAHAM ARE IDIOTS AND WILL PICK ON SUSAN RICE.
IT'S NOT NEWS THAT EVERY PRESIDENT WOULD TRY TO SAVE AMERICANS IF HE COULD, BUSH, REAGAN, WHOEVER!

Our national press corps is a joke! Post presser news on MSNBC focuses on the Graham / McCain stuff, the most sensational least informative data. They are a joke!

The press conference was held to get all these things out in the open for those whose only source of news is the know-nothing MSM.

It was one-stop-shopping for answers about Petrus, the fiscal cliff and taxes and, while I too know these things, it was important to hear our President say them.
