He's not happy that reporters got wind of the lobbyist involved in his campaign. Poor guy.

Romney's henchman was out of line. Reporters should be free to ask the hard questions.

They should also listen when the question is answered.

Ask questions yes, but calling him a Lier was way out of line! If the report had class, he would have raised his hand AT THE END and asked who this guy (the lobbyist) is and what capacity does he have in your campaign. :clapper:

Ask questions yes, but pushing a secret service man was way out of line! If O'Reilly had class, he would have come on time and waited his turn and ask this guy to move politely, instead of shoving him.

Sorry......couldn't resist.

LOL, I saw the one on daily kos! I thought it was pretty funny and ballsy of the Obama rep. He dilberately wanted to block the foxnews camera man. I thought it was ironic. When libs come on O'Reily's show he does his best to block them from getting his their message out and now he is complaining about the same being done to him!:ecstatic:

Romney; quote = " I do not have lobbyists that are tied to my..... "

I guess that depends on his definition.

And Fehrnstrom - " Don't be agumentative with the candidate . "

In other words; " Be a stenographer, know your role. "

Who the f u ck do these bozos think they are, expecting the lapdog press to continue their subservient posture ?

That might have been the M.O. during BushCos' reign, and we all see how effective that was.

A new day is dawning, and the press will call " Bullshit " when needed.

Romney quote; " I do not have lobbyists that are tied to my..... "

This is mistaken. That is NOT what Romney said. What Romney said was that he did not have any lobyists RUNNING his campaign.

Had the reporter actually listened and heard the response, he may have been less inclined to continue to make statements instead of asking the same question again and again.

Come on Alan......that's oabout the same thing as it depends on what the definition of "it" is.

It's okay to ask the hard questions, but it is just as important to listen to the answer instead of interrupting repeatedly and going on and on. Romney answered the question, the reporter didn't listen and kept pushing.
And that is exactly one of the problems with the media these days. They won't take a simple, direct answer to their questions and they still want to pick and pick until they find something they can take completely out of context and spew it all over the place.
This is what starts these idiotic rumors against the candidates on both sides of the aisle and I don't know about you folks, but the press sometimes just needs to get their damn facts straight, report them without spin, then STFU and go to the next topic.
