(14,881 posts)interrupted the President's immigration announcement to ask why he prefers foreigners over Americans, repeatedly.
No respect, none. Aside from the phenomenal stupidity of the pseudo-reporter's question, during press announcements, you do NOT interrupt the president. You allow the president to speak. When the president has finished the announcement, he then signals that he is open to questions.
At that point, all the reporters start piping up, and the President calls on them one at a time and answers their questions until out of time.
To add to the absurdity, the pseudo-reporter is, himself, an immigrant who has benefited by being a member of a favored group of immigrants, as opposed to the children of undocumented workers that Obama's plan targets.
As in, I got mine, fuck you. Rude jerk.
