to President Obama Obama made huge headlines for going on Zack Galifianakis
is online show between two ferns
and talking about health insurance and and Obamacare in state exchanges
huge huge huge press for this however not everybody was happy about it
ABC's Jim a viewer peppered
White House press secretary Jay Carney with questions during a press briefing
about President Obama showing up on between two ferns
and he said how much discussion was there in the white house about the
dignity of the office
and whether or not in order to reach these people who don't watch us at 6:30
or
who don't watch this briefing how much the dignity of the office
might be lost this is an interview like no other probably ever done
by a president Jay Carney said we're constantly looking at different ways to
reach Americans who don't necessarily get information
about healthcare dot gov from evening news broadcast or from
newspapers and then appeal goes on he says I understand the purpose but was
the presidency damage
in any way in Jay Carney said no not at all
on Fox News the Fox & Friends bunch said that it's inappropriate for President
Obama to do mock
comedy interviews and it's also inappropriate to
advertise a law check out this clip from Fox & Friends
should the president of HP doing this online
I'm for Will Ferrell's online so I would jack up an active II
playing the straight man wow I no incredible
have my left eye and hellish you know have a pretty good it is so weird
a visitor probably true I for the present I stay to be sitting down
watching online interview that
a mock-up okay dunk so what are you at an appropriate for the pen United States
to be
advertising I a law and insurance whether the it's wrong
Louis for the president to advertise a law we could spend an hour trying to
figure out what that line
even means but I have a few questions here with regard to gym at the left from
Mb ABC News
how can a reporter from a major television network
ask such as stupid inept question
without being fired didn't didn't interview
which led to by the way record traffic
on health care dot gov did it damage the presidency because President Obama was
I guess he was playing a character he was he was playing along or something
like that
and then he talks about the dignity of the office
I wonder if the dignity of the office is it being taken seriously
by those who say President Obama is a Kenyan Muslim
for example or when racist Tea Party years say
almost anything or those who say President Obama is fighting for the
other side whoever the other side happens to be that day
where's the their respect for the dignity of the presidency
these comments are ridiculous the questions are so in the silicon the Fox
& Friends stuff
we've come to expect that don't conservatives remember that ronald
reagan performed in movies with chimpanzees
writing don't they remember that George W Bush did serious
interviews but appeared to be completely incompetent and basically unable to
speak English in many cases
that to me sounds way more concerning them President Obama in a measured
satire piece that was very effective at promoting health care dug up
yeah and actually somewhat informative
I on if you wanna talk about dignity a
ABC I where's their dignity I mean it
are they supposed to be reporting on things that matter lightly don't get
what that might mean it is a good point
its offensive that Jim movie Liz question
at the press briefing was whether something on Funny or Die dot com with
Zack Galifianakis
may have damaged the presidency what about asking a question about
up but income inequality you're feeding poor people there something the
relevance that that's really
what I think is it dignified wasting your question on that
yeah absolutely ABC is completely without taking the
it's a total joke like that video please subscribe click the button below
