Steve Kroft to Prez O: "How come you're not able to make intransigent GOPers change their minds?"

[MrScorpio]

Something tells me that Steverino isn't aware of how fucking clueless he sounds asking questions like that.

[a geek named Bob]

1. "...Well, Steve...Maybe it's because my republican colleagues have lost their freakin' minds..."

[babylonsister]

2. No kidding. He couldn't think of a better question? The President had to repeat twice

that the rethugs were 100% against him and a second term, like Steverino doesn't/didn't know that.

[malaise]

3. Fuck Steve

Imagine asking the President of the United States about pressure from any leader on the fugging planet.

Great answer President Obama.

I detest Steve Kroft

[Native]

5. EXACTLY! I couldn't believe the way Kroft went after him.

[ailsagirl]

13. Steve just blew it big-time-- I'd love to send him an email with my "thoughts"

[malaise]

15. Go ahead

[bhikkhu]

4. You can't reason with hate

though we all know the president has continued to try!

[CakeGrrl]

7. I think of them as "Low Information Voter" questions

I'll bet there are too many people out there who are clueless about the extent of GOP obstructionism.

[Ikonoklast]

8. Because I don't have the power of mind control, you dumbass.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

9. That's why I didn't watch the interview. I knew it was going to be a complete lack of journalistic

integrity. Steve knows damn well what's going on with the congressional Republicans. He knows damn well!

[Dawson Leery]

10. Because the GOP is "intransigent".

[gkhouston]

21. And, unlike Republicans, the President isn't into redefining the meanings of words. n/t

[Indpndnt]

11. Kroft answered his own question within the question.

Because they're "intransigent." Or did someone give him that question and he not understand the definition?

[ailsagirl]

12. What the hell kind of question is that?

I'm sure the President had plenty to say in his response.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. Even though the right pledged never to agree with Obama, it doesn't stop the fact that

they don't agree and can't compromise.

As much as we hate the right for not even trying to come half way....this is what people are worried about...that nothing will get done.

Actually, a fair concern

The only way we can move forward is to win the House.

Or, just settle for holding the evil bastards at bay.

[Egalitarian Thug]

16. Apparently he knows the word but not what it means.

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. Lame attempt to bait Obama into a 47% soundbite

Kroft wanted Obama to say something akin to Romney's statement, that he will never convince those people and need not worry about them. Uber fail on Kroft's part. It's not merely that Obama's too politically smart for that (though he is). It's that Obama doesn't feel the same way as Romney about those who don't support him. Kroft can't wrap his head around that, since he's contemptuous of the public as well.

[bluestate10]

18. The President answered the question perfectly.

That after the election republicans will have to cooperate. The american people would have spoken.

[meow2u3]

19. Prez O has too much of a conscience to threaten the intransigent GOPers with executive force

If Obama had resorted to threatening intransigent GOTPers to cooperate or face serious consequences, he'd have gotten things done.

All kidding aside, I don't think he was aware, until recently, of the conspiracy hatched by Lyin', the Box Turtle, Agent Orange, and Frank Lunk to sabotage the economy to make the President look bad.

[arthritisR_US]

20. Because they don't take their head out of their

Asses long enough to know what day it is!

[ellisonz]

22. I think it's time we start posting wanted posters for Bush/Cheney.

[TwilightGardener]

23. The answer's in the question--was this some sort of riddle or something?

How come you're not able to move an immovable object? Why can't you see the invisible? WTF?
