      This is outrageous! How dare the media ask Obama a question that would make him look bad and that they knew he couldn't answer! Thank goodness we have MediaMatters to stop the clip before Obama's answer, otherwise we would see how he refused to answer the question.

        You're trying to hard to be a mook.  Take a deep breath and give it a second try.

          Why should Commonsense even try to be a mook.  Knoller has raised the bar on mookishness for a long time to come.

        CS - Man, you NAILED IT! Yeah, the question was deeply profound indeed. No way was this a stupid question about something that never really happens in real life. Stick it to that dick Obama, I say!

        BTW, instead of 24 I was thinking more of that being a MacGyver moment he was asking about.

      I wonder why he didn't ask his backup question- "President Obama, if Kitty Dukakis was raped and murdered, would you THEN support the Death Penalty?"

        A righteous blast from the past. That's good enough for The Daily Show.

      I don't know if 24 was in Knoller's mind though. 24 wasn't the first to come up with the flawed idea that torture saves lives and gives valuable intel.

      If saying "We will not use torture"was not answering the question. I'm glad MMFA kept that out.
