Consider an asterisk beside that medal, at the very leastā¦

Ha! My faith in the press remains as they quickly move (I ran, They ran) to the Cosby question skipping the disembowelment of Major Garrettā¦
Tour de force Prez, though as press gets smaller and smaller.

Remember when Obama gave Cosby the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002? Conservatives do.

My thoughts exactly. I came in while the president was speaking about this. How did Bill Cosby come up at a press conference about the deal with Iran?

If Bill Cosby were white, would Obama have been asked this question? Just wonderingā¦
April Ryan. The man has the patience of a saint but Major Garret was able to find his limit.

I assume it was the Pres Medal of Freedom that made it a Presidential issue. But still, was the nuclear deal not sexy enough for the reporter to wait for another time?
Iām just happy he included men in his comments as so much of this discussion is always focused on women (for good reason) but they dont seem to get treated as equals in these matters.

American Urban Radio asked a three-part question, two parts of which focused on criminal justice reform. Then she threw in that Cosby question.
The big news was the Iran deal, of course, but a press conference is open to all topics.

That ABC idiot can thank his lucky stars he didnāt get the word āDonaldā out of his mouth or Mr. Obama would have used him like a scratching post.

To be fair, April Ryan is black and sheās the WH correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks. Her questions werenāt about the Iran deal, but about sentencing reform. I think she was asking questions that are of great interest to the black community specifically.
That said, I think this was a wonderful opportunity for the president. He didnāt have to take it, he couldāve easily punted, but he didnāt. He straight out said that what was described was rape. Now, juxtapose the presidentās remarks with that of the GOP and their attempts to redefine rape as only āforcible rapeā. As much as I want the focus of this presser to remain on the Iran deal, I sure wouldnāt mind if some regressive GOPer decides to take issue with the presidentās definition of rape or attempts to defend Cosby.

Iām sorry but I just donāt care that much about Bill Cosby. Yes the guy is a degenerative pervert but Iām really getting tired of seeing Gloria Allred parading these teary eyed frumpy middle age victims in front of the TV cameras. If they have a case can get by the statue of limitations, more power to them but why do we need to have the president chime in on the criminal sex acts of a 77 year old has been? Enough already!
