Ha, ha, what's the big deal? This Ed Henry dude from CNN asked in a sarcastic, accusatory manner, "...why did it take you two days to respond to the AIG bonus payouts?"
Obama, "It took us a couple of days because I like to know what I’m talking about before I speak.”
He responded to that question very directly and firmly. Why all of the sudden do some media people read to much into a firm response? Now this is a story? Wow, very silly. Henry needs to grow up, and be ready to deal with answers to the corporate media's "ratings obsessed questions."
It's amazing to me that the media which has been really tough on this man, asks this question, over and over again, obsesses for over one week with 24-7 non stop coverage and updates and more updates, and more commentary, more "experts" that pound this story to the ground,...he addressed it over and over again. No wonder why he pretty much told that Henry guy to "sit down and ask me something legitimate."
Meanwhile, per the USA today (2002) 18,000 Americans die every year because of lack of health care coverage, and there are people/families sleeping in tents. It seems like the news media has it's priorities so mixed-up. There must be a way to get the media back on the side of real people, real problems, and issues that matter.
