President Obama spoke today in the Rose Garden at the White House and was interrupted in mid-speech by a White House correspondent from the Daily Caller – Neil Munro. This is totally unacceptable and not befitting of any president. The President picks a person to ask a question … you ask the question only if you’re called … and then he answers it. That’s it. That’s how it works. He’s the President of the United States of America; totally unacceptable.
#1 – Why does the Daily Caller have a White House correspondent?
#2 – This is how the geniuses at the Daily caller responded to the incident – article HERE:
Neil Munro, White House Correspondent: “I always go to the White House prepared with questions for our president. I timed the question believing the president was closing his remarks, because naturally I have no intention of interrupting the President of the United States. I know he rarely takes questions before walking away from the podium. When I asked the question as he finished his speech, he turned his back on the many reporters, and walked away while I and at least one other reporter asked questions.” (VIDEO: Reporter explains his Rose Garden exchange with Obama)
Tucker Carlson, Editor-in-Chief: “I don’t remember Diane Sawyer scolding her colleague Sam Donaldson for heckling President Reagan. And she shouldn’t have. A reporter’s job is to ask questions and get answers. Our job is to find out what the federal government is up to. Politicians often don’t want to tell us. A good reporter gets the story. We’re proud of Neil Munro.”
Neil Patel, Publisher: “The President today announced a very controversial policy and does not want to answer tough questions about it. Neil Munro is a veteran Washington reporter who today tried his best to time his question to be first as the President was wrapping up his remarks. He in no way meant to heckle the President of the United States.”
