Chuck Todd needs some schooling while Ed Henry needed a smackdown.
President Obama's response to Ed Henry's question:
Henry: Why did you wait days to come out and express that outrage? It seems like the action is coming out of New York and the Attorney General's office. It took you days to come public with Secretary Geithner and say look we're outraged. Why did it....
Obama: Look it took us a couple of days because I like to know what I'm talking about before I speak. Alright?
Memo to Ed: How long did it take former President Bush to respond to the Hurricane Katrina as compared to President Obama's response to the AIG saga?
Chuck Todd with this question to President Obama:
Todd: Some have compared this financial crisis to a war and in times of war past Presidents have called for some form of sacrifice. Some of your programs whether main street or Wall Street have actually cushioned the blow for those that were irresponsible during this economic period of prosperity, supposed prosperity that you were talking about. Why, given this new era of responsibility that you're asking for why haven't you asked for something specific that the public should be sacrificing to participate in this economic recovery?
Apparently, Chuck doesn't think that Americans haven't suffered enough. Time for Chuck to get out more often. Memo to Chuck: Did you ask what form of sacrifice is Wall Street is participating in this economic recovery?

Translation: How long did it take handlers to feel comfortable letting the Gerbil loose with the press?
Ed did his best to try and humiiate President Obama. Now we know Obama uses the Thomas Paine Smack Down to silence the person. It was just to sweet, it was like watching history. He was so cool and polite but hit his target bulls eye. Now CNN has made History as Ed Henry showed us what a real fool looks like live on TV.
Poor Chuck Todd. Now I like him but he did ask a stupid question. He would have looked like a genious if only Bush were still President. Press Reporters had to defend, excuse, explain and even correct Bush's Speeches. Now anyone looks smart when a dumb stupid person is speaking. What was interesting is Bush would insult the reporters, while Obama is still polite with manners.
