Kirsten Powers Slams Obama’s ‘Petulant’ Presser: If You ‘Don’t Go His Way,’ He Claims You ‘Starve Children’

Mediaite.com:

Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers slammed President Obama‘s press conference earlier today when she told Bret Baier that his tone was “petulant” and he was “acting annoyed that people were asking him questions.”

Regarding the impending debt ceiling debate, Powers said Obama “didn’t do a great job of explaining the situation” because although a default would be “disruptive,” he “didn’t need to exaggerate it.”

Baier noted that “default is really not an option for the country.” Powers agreed and responded that Obama “could have been straightforward about that.”

Obama saying that Social Security and veteran’s benefits may be delayed, Powers continued, is a “scare tactic.” The GOP has a “fair position,” she added, and Obama is setting it up to appear that “if you don’t go his way, you like to starve children.”
