Major Garrett: As you well know, there are four Americans in Iran - three held on trumped up charges according to your administration, one, whereabouts unknown. Can you tell the country, sir, why you are content, with all of the fanfare around this [nuclear] deal to leave the conscience of this nation, the strength of this nation, unaccounted for, in relation to these four Americans?

Major Garrett impersonated Helen Thomas by making an accusation in the form of a question.

Thomas once asked George W. Bush, "What is the real reason that you wanted to go to war?" Bush replied, "Helen, I didn't want to go to war."

In his question for Obama, Garrett made the accusation that Obama is "content" about something. It was this accusation that Obama objected to and responded to.

Major Garrett impersonated Helen Thomas?
How dare he ask Obama a simple question. (To which he got a bumbling reply).
Obama was into self admiration as usual.

Major Garrett did not ask a simple question. He asked a loaded question.... Thomas once asked George W. Bush, "What is the real reason that you wanted to go to war?" Bush replied, "Helen, I didn't want to go to war."

Major Garrett did not ask a simple question. He asked a loaded question.

Garrett was only doing his job. The question was loaded because Obama did not do his job.

At least you admit that Garrett's question was loaded.

I knew I shoulda put that in parentheses, "loaded".

Perhaps you should have picked up some more parentheses the last time you were in the Hebei Province of northern China.

Garrett gets bonus points for actually being a journalist. Most of the White House press corps has knee pads and an airplane size bottle of mouthwash available at all times.

Simple illustration of what I call the Obamagasm is when Obama tries to sing 'Amazing Grace' at the service for the victims of the church shooting. What followed on CNN was just shameless gushing about how great Obama was, how he has taken off the restraints and will just do whatever he wants now, how he has become the nation's pastor, etc etc.

Don Lemon I swear has a man crush on Obama, and wants him as his lover. I think some of the CNN women feel the same way. The ladies on the air that afternoon were hopefully sitting on towels, because I'm pretty sure they were moist during the broadcast as well.

I finally had to change the channel. Not so much for the Obama cheering, after all it is CNN, but I lost respect for the on air talent who had dropped all pretense of journalistic integrity and objectivity. It has really become a cult of personality.

The press is really the only way (save for the courts) to keep politicians in line, honest, and mindful of the promises they made. When the press stops holding politicians accountable you get the issues still on the table for this administration.

1) Fast and Furious gun running scandal.No one in jail.
2) IRS scandal. No one in jail.
3) Benghazi debacle. No one loses their job.
4) Arms supplied to ISIS via Syrian 'rebels'. No one loses their job.
5) Mortgage meltdown. No bankers in jail.
6) Unemployment numbers. Fudged just before 2012 election. Admitted to later, but no one loses their government job.
7) False reporting of the national debt. 6 months after the government shutdown the debt limit only has 28 million left on it. For the next SIX MONTHS, the debt number was reported to be the same EVERY SINGLE DAY despite the U.S. government losing BILLIONS a month on simple currency exchange transactions. Forget the other losses it racks up daily. NO ONE loses their job or goes to jail.
8) A virtual explosion of unjustifiable deadly force encounters by American police departments with NO national investigation. The justice department reacting to only the most politically sensitive for them.
9) The deliberate introduction of Ebola into the United States by the CDC. All patients could have been cared for outside the U.S. or even in facilities created offshore such as isolation ships. Instead, infected health care workers travel the country potentially creating an epidemic, but only through sheerluck is it avoided.

You could go on, but why bother? Neither the press, nor the GOP seem prepared to do the right thing and launch an investigation that will result prison or impeachment for various officials.
