‘The Five’s Eric Bolling chides reporter who interrupted Obama’s immigration speech

Jun. 15, 2012 5:49pm Eddie Scarry

About 98.6 percent of what Fox News’ Eric Bolling has to say on the air involves some type of negative criticism of President Barack Obama. That other 1.4 percent actually showed itself today when Bolling said on The Five that the reporter who shouted out questions in the middle of Obama’s immigration speech today should have kept quiet.

“You’re going to hate me for saying this but I don’t think it was right for him to be yelling that stuff out there,” Bolling said, with all pigment exiting his face. “Just let [Obama] say his piece. He was blowing himself up.”

Dana Perino chimed in, “And it wasn’t a press conference. The president was giving a statement in the Rose Garden and the question was ‘will he take any questions.’ He usually doesn’t in the rose garden.”

Seriously, B arack has had no parameters of decency since getting inaugerated after stealing the election. I personally feel that anytime anyone on the Right who can ever get a word in edgewise, should go for it. I am hoping he blows a gasket before November. He has put us down, poked his finger one too many times, called us “those folks” baited to incite race wars, get tough or get out!
We can no longer act like he can intimidate and forget that HE works for US, not the other way around.

Ever word out of obama’s mouth is an attack on America – it is time for ALL Americans to STAND UP and tell obama to SHUT UP – and it is time for us to unite to stop obama from destroying America.

This is OUR country, and it is up to us to protect her from obama.

  Correct, and Eric appears to be a wuss, I hate to have to have him be as big a jerk as Beckle.

The guy asked a perfectly suitable question for the topic of the speech. Don’t care that he interupted Obama. Obama is a servant of the people and nothing more.

Obama would not have answered the question had it been asked in a timely manner…the man can’t answer a question if it is not from HIS media channels.

Don’t interrupt him, just turn him off.

A reporter reports. When you insert yourself into the story, by heckling or otherwise, you become part of the story.
Being on the side of the angels does not change this. You are still an observer — the eyes and ears for the rest of us who are not there. In your own style, we merely want you to tell us what you saw and heard.
If you cannot settle for this limited role and have the urge to do more, then please leave your reporter’s credentials at the door. There is nothing wrong with acting on your convictions. But you absolutely cannot do so while covering an event you are reporting on.
This is the golden rule of journalism. Even pundits try to follow it.

Bolling likes to give Judge Napalitano a hand job before every Five

Once again, the White House tried to get something monumental out on Friday, hoping that nobody would notice. Although, for civility sake, I don’t think the Daily Caller should have shouted out a question, thank goodness that he did, because then Obama’s “decision” drew more attention to his tactics.

Eric Bolling, your are correct, because, one cannot learn with his/her mouth open! That is why women get it all mixed up! grin
