Obama Instructs Journalists On How To Report His Positions

[PapaG]

Is he losing his grip on reality? Didn't his own budget get voted down 97-0 in the Senate, and 414-0 in the House? Is he on drugs? Is he saying that he is a "centrist" on the budget, and that Paul Ryan is an extremist, so the media should report it that way? Just odd behavior in recent days.

"This bears on your reporting," President Obama said to journalists.

And an equivalence is presented which I think reinforces peoples' cynicism about Washington in general. This is not one of those situations where there's an equivalency."

"As all of you are doing your reporting, I think it's important to remember that the positions that I am taking now on the budget and a host of other issues. if we had been having this discussion 20 years ago or even 15 years ago … would've been considered squarely centrist positions," Obama said a few moments later.
