It just seemed like that to me, especially on taxes.

1. The whole points of these interviews is point/counterpoint....
.... Amanpour did a lovely take down of Rand Paul today where she grilled him what, SPECIFICALLY, he'd cute to balance the budget.

He of course, has no idea.

That's just how it works.

4. Point/counterpoint is one thing
But asking questions that are not based in reality but only on the talking points of the opposition party is another.

5. It's not Kroft's fault that the counter points he's parroting...
..... are illogical GOP babble. It's all he's got to work with. :)

2. So what;: the Pres didn't have any trouble supplying
answers.

And he made the chief point: we'd have to add to the deficit to finance the top 2 per centers tax cut.

And Kroft helped him make it.

3. No, it's not just you. And if you'll watch the full interview
You'll be amazed by how they edited it.

6. Always.

That's that bully pulpit that Obama could use,
if only Network/Cable was actually an unbiased media.

Oh well, enough here giving Obama a kick in the pants about everything...
on top of unlimited corporate media to the gop,
a corporate media parroting the GOP.....

so I'll just prepare for a Republican take over of all branches in 2012,
then when we scream about everything, at least we'll be truly justified.
I think that will be peachy!
