Why was he "appalled" today, but not yesterday?

As the house organ for the Republican Party Fox News is irrelevant. They have such a right wing bias that you cannot learn anything from them except how to twist your logic like a pretzel. If I were Obama I would never call on Major Garret or anyone from Fox. Why waste your time on someone trying to score political points not trying to drive this country's agenda ahead.

Well I guess Major Garrett will have to turn in his White House media pass. Of course we knew Fox News would ask pointed questions, thats why he will not give them one on one interviews. Overall the MSM got a little tougher and Obama looked visably angry at some of the questions. He wanted to know where was Olberman and Chris Mathews with their softball questions. Don' t forget, he believes his own fawning press clippings. Narcissim is a hard habit to break. Just like cigaretes, its a lifelong battle.

None of these were remotely enlightening or entertaining, so thanks for confirming my belief that Twittering or following it is just an extreme waste of time~
