I just watched the exchange between Doocy and POTUS.

[LuckyCharms]

As best as I could make out, Peter Doocy asked POTUS something like "Is inflation a liability"?

POTUS responded with something like "No, it's a great asset".

POTUS then followed up with "What a stupid son of a bitch".

Here you have a journalist asking an inane question in bad faith.

The question was delivered in an attempt to bust balls, so it was responded to with sarcasm and a mild appropriate insult.

Tit for tat.

No big deal.

Response from POTUS was right on the mark, and probably similar to how most humans would have responded.

What should POTUS have said otherwise to a bullshit question? Should he have gone into some long diatribe about inflationary pressures?

It's not a bad thing to call a stupid son of a bitch a stupid son of a bitch, if one acts like a stupid son of a bitch.

10. Telling T-rump to shut up during a debate seemed to work

for him, so this is probably okay. That image of being the sarcastic alpha type seems to be a political advantage, for the most part.

11. Doocy is a troll hiding under the veneer of journalism. Kick the trolls out of the press room. n/t

[kacekwl]

12. I have no problem with the President doing that but

I don't understand why Doocy is called on at all. Aren't questions reserved for news media?

[Demsrule86]

13. He should be ignored. But good for Biden.

[Beausoleil]

14. He could have called him

"Enemy of the people" but didn't. I admire Biden's restraint!

[LizBeth]

15. Ya, at the end, shooing people out. I thought the same. Not a big deal

and kind of appropriate the delivery, though apologizing is not a big deal either. It was fine the comment was put out there for people to hear.
