Pres. Obama Loses His Cool With Reporters Repeatedly Asking Same ISIL Questions (VIDEO)

[cal04]

An openly frustrated President Barack Obama got testy on Monday with reporters at a news conference at the G20 Leader's Summit in Antalya, Turkey, who kept asking Obama if he had underestimated the power of the Islamic State terrorist group in light of the guerrilla attacks in Paris.

It came to a head after a question by CNN reporter Jim Acosta, who asked, "I guess the question is – if you'll forgive the language – why can't we take out these bastards?"

Obama told Acosta he had "just spent the last three questions answering that very question," and repeated that he's articulated his administration's strategy against the terrorist group." He reminded all watching: There are "enormous sacrifices" in any military actions and "this is not an abstraction."

And finally with NBC News' Ron Allen.

[Thinkingabout]

1. It amazes me when reporters has the opportunity to question a leader such as Obama they get their

Turn and keep pounding the same question over and over. Do they not listen when others are asking questions or they are trying to hear one word differently and then run on and on about which time was he lying.

[Aerows]

2. That's all they are doing

is asking the same question over and over again hoping for him to make a mistake. I swear, I have no idea how the man has the patience he does. Job would have lost it by this point.

[PSPS]

5. Reporters do this so they will get their own snippet to play on the TV NOOZE

[Turbineguy]

3. Shoot first and aim later

and then reinventing the flat tire for an exit strategery would be the GOP method.

[JI7]

4. they are looking for a few seconds clip they can play over and over

That's why they are always covering trump.

Much of the U.S. media just sucks

6. Try this,most so called News Rooms are very scripted and as far as any so called on Air Talent,

they do rehearsals of what the Studio Floor Director has scripted on their Teleprompters. And this is at the direction of the Senior Producer of that time segment. The News Director is all powerful,and he or she pretty much tells you what he or she wants,so much for freedom of the press. It is all about impact.

7. Loses his cool, no, not even close. Annoyed by the repetitive questions yes.

[Enrique]

8. no he didn't

the headline and article don't match what I see in the video.

[COLGATE4]

10. Not at all. Headline is close to yellow journalism. nt

9. Loses his cool really??? I didn't get that at all.

[Stellar]

11. It appears that the president had to dumb down his response...

so that slow reporters in the audience could catch up. He made them look like the fools that they are.

[Chitown Kev]

12. Yeah, he did lose his cool a little bit

I've noticed over the years that when Obama "loses his cool" he goes into professorial mode and slows down his speech so the youngins' can take careful notes and past the test.

I like the way he does this.
