ABC "news" balance consisted of whether it would help oBama get re-elected or not. The totally false story on Romney not paying his taxes for 10 years helped oBama therefore it was allowed. oBama's role as CIC in the Benghazi disaster? Not good. Just ignore it and eventually it will go away. In the meantime distract 'em..... Hey look! Over there, its Grover Norquist! silent pro wrote:”Fair and Balanced, depends on who’s watching i guess.”

But, they ran the story Biden said Romeny hadn't paid his taxes in 10 years everyday during the campagin swhich turned out to be utter lies to prejudice the people.

I do not recall previous presidents spoken to in such a tone at a presidential news conference. Just read that Tapper is jumping ship to CNN--good riddance to bad rubbish!

LOL... how many days of vacation.... how many golf trips.....King Putt could have skipped any one of these and held his serious reflection. But he didn't and he got called on it by Jake Tapper. Now he punts the ball to Joe Biden. Leading from behind. Fore... ward! “I don’t think I’ve been on vacation.”

The fact that NBC, CBS, MSNBC, LA Times, NY Times, etc are actively refusing to report on what happened demonstrates that journalism is dying. Biden’s comments at the memorial service to the fact family members still don’t know how their loved ones died in Libya is a testament to the quality of our current leadership. Last year “U.S. officials” said drones in Pakistan killed about 30 civilians (Mothers - Fathers & Children) in just a year long stretch under Obama's watch. Now we here have Newtown - Colorado, etc., It is about time someone from the Pres has the intestinal fortitude to ask the hard questions that need to be asked - it was great the way you did it - "Stop" leaving it up to FOX News to ask these hard questions......... Obama "HAS BEEN" on vacation - records reflect that -- Quote "President Obama took 61 vacation days after 31 months in office" -- How many people are we going to lose on his watch ----> Benghazi - Newtown - movie theater in Colorado - Sikh temple in Wisconsin - Manufacture in Minneapolis - with the killings unfolding in 30 states from Massachusetts to Hawaii......And I read in this Blog people defending him......Good god how many are we going to loose on his watch before people wake up ......... Truth is he is all Show and no Go and has no plans that work! Jake, You realize Benghazi is an epic scandal.

He showed a lack of professionalism and respect in the way he framed his question. The President had every right to feel frustrated when someone who is supposed to be on top of the news, more than the vast majority of the public, asks that question in that manner. We have only President, elected by the people, and Mr. Tapper should never be disrespectful. Rein in your ego, Mr. Tapper--you looked just plain bad in that moment! Now I will be listening carefully to judge your impartiality. I just wanted to add my comment about Jake Tapper’s question the the President about gun control.

It was an honest question that deserved an honest answer. He obviously caught Obama off guard because it wasn't a scripted question. If anything I thought Obama was rude and disrespectful with his answer. We're all wondering where he's been for the past 4 yrs. The country is a mess and he certainly can't blame Bush for the past four years. As far as the media "picking on him" they have done nothing but cover for him for the past four years and will continue to do so for the next four. He then ended with "thank you" and stomped off the stage like a child, which is what he does when he doesn't like something. Jake Tapper should be commended for doing his job.
