Obama thinks it isn't. When a reporter finally says "enough" the president gets in his face.

    Just as proper as it was for 0bama Edict-in-Tyranny to run away after delivering this kick in the balls type of tyrannical Edict and not answer a SINGLE question that We The People had for him to try and weasel out of! This man, whoever in the hell he really is, is DISGUSTING!

    That reporter probably wanted him to explain this:

    It isn't "proper" to interrupt anyone when they are speaking. Only on Fox network and CNN is such behavior sold as "proper", along with the rantings of lunatics. Of all people,
    our President deserves to not be interrupted by some ignorant media plant looking for a moment of attention. A slap across the mouth would have been in order.

    The reporter was from Ireland and said he was asking a question that American reporters wouldn't ask.

    Said whatever he said. Still, a slap across his moving lips would have left a lasting impression of the results of disrespect for the POTUS. Others have thrown shoes at
    the POTUS and several have fired guns at the POTUS. We can't encourage such actions without losing the respect to which the office is entitled.

    Does the office of president hold any respect now? With the lying, sexual favors and treasonous acts that have taken place there it is time to build a new office and start fresh. The manure is to high to salvage the old one.

    Yea, well you work on that and let us know how your project is coming along. When you awaken from the delusion you will face the realities that some of us are trying to deal with, and we would appreciate any help you might wish to give.

    No empire has ever gotten so big that it was "to big to fall". We have let these cheats and liars blind us to the truth and now we will pay. We have come to the point that questioning a president's words are held as treason. We can be placed in detention without habeas corpus and never be seen again.

    The next thing will be they hand us shovels to dig our mass graves. As for me they can kill me but they can not make me dig.

    Well, you send me the names of any who are taken away into detention without habeas corpus and never seen again, and I will promise to find them for you. Count on me. And, you don't have to dig a mass grave. No sir, I'll see to that too. Now, go to bed and sleep well.

    If you want to "question" the President's "word" you can post your questions right here on SH, as dozens do every day. It probably is a waste of effort, however, to post some crazy complaint or delusion, as almost all of the possible nonsense has already been posted here dozens of time. The birth, birth certificate, vacations, loans to the auto industry, and such have all been posted here a hundred times, so try to stick to "word" or "issues".

    The reporter should have waited, it was rude, and Obama need to thicken his skin or get out of politics - One may not respect the man but we should all show respect for the office

    getting a better insight to the incident ABC.com wrote this:

    While reporters were present at the Rose Garden announcement, the president was not expected to take questions.

    At the end of his remarks, the president attempted to address Munro’s concerns. “The answer to your question, sir — and the next time I prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question — is this is the right thing to do for the American people,” he said.

    When Munro interrupted again, the president snapped back “I didn’t ask for an argument, I’m answering your question.”

    Asked afterwards who he was, Munro said simply “I’m just a reporter asking questions you should be asking.”

    The Daily Caller later lauded Munro’s behavior. ”We are very proud of, @NeilMunroDC for doing his job,” the online publication posted to its Twitter feed.

    Actually the reporter said he tried to time his question to when the speech would end. I don't know if that is true or not since I'm not the reporter.

    It's very rude and disgusting, no one ever did that to any other president.

    See Nixon - it has happened before and Dan Rather was the first to do it - he was applauded by the left.

    It was rude indeed - no respect for the man should never override the respect for the office.

    Nixon was also physically assaulted in South America when VP.

    MSNBC is trumpeting that lie:' no one ever did that to any other president'. There was one contributor there that claimed 'he was interrupted because he's black'. They always want to make something like this about race.

    This has happened before and the last one I remember it happening to was HW Bush. The reporter from the Daily Caller, that interrupted him, said that 'he thought the president was finished with his speech and he was trying to get a question in before the president took off.'

    I was watching his speech while I was having my lunch yesterday and my first reaction was that I thought it was rude and I thought he should be escorted out of there. At first, I thought it was just a heckler but later realized he was trying to ask a question, which I give him credit for at least trying, even though it was rude.
