Obama Gets Testy With Fox News Reporter



Fox News reporter Ed Henry asked the president about the alleged Iranian terror plot, and used a quote from GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who ha consistently criticized Obama’s leadership. 
Obama responded with, “I didn’t know you were the spokesman for Mitt Romney.”
Hey, c'mon! Reporters use quotes from opposing parties all the time to give the person they're interviewing a chance to respond. 
Obama could have used this as a chance to contrast his views with those of Romney's. It could have been the beginning of a healthy debate. Instead, the president used the reporters inquiry's as yet another occasion to become surly while at the same time attempting to slam Fox News. 
Shameful -- and cheap.
