In case you missed it, [Major] Garrett asked how Mr. Obama could be “content with all the fanfare around this (nuclear) deal” with Iran after missing the opportunity to include four Americans languishing in Iranian prisons as part of the negotiation. The president took exception to the way the question was framed––and after scolding Garrett the way a teacher does a insubordinate student (“That’s nonsense. And you should know better…”)––he really didn’t provide an answer to the question in between all the long pauses. It was as if the president found the situation so rare, he began searching the room for Candy Crowley to jump in and save him from himself (again).Here's the video:
Candy Crowley wasn't available, but another CNN functionary, Dana Bash, was:
CNN’s Dana Bash said after the presser, “There’s a fine line between asking a tough question and maybe crossing that line a little bit and being disrespectful, and I think that happened here.”Yeah, reporters are always respectful of the President:

I would suggest that President Obama might have considered that when you've got a country like Iran by the nuts, you squeeze a little before giving them what they want so you get what you want, too. I got it when we didn't press the Soviets too hard when we had the reality that a misstep could get a billion people killed in less than an hour. I don't get it when it's Iran.
i miss Reagan.
