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

That reporter probably wanted him to explain this:
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 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.
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.
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".
That was an inspiring speech from the President
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.
It was rude indeed - no respect for the man should never override the respect for the office.
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.
