Schieffer Empathizes with Obama: Did You Ever Say ‘Are We Ever Going To Get a Break?’

‘We saw the rise of ISIS, the outbreak of Ebola, trouble in the Ukraine, illegal immigrants coming across the border, did you ever go back to the residence at night and say, ‘are we ever going to get a break here?’

CBS’s Schieffer Empathizes with Obama: Did You Ever Say ‘Are We Ever Going To Get a Break?’ (NewsBusters)

In his pre-recorded Face the Nation sit-down with President Barack Obama at the White House, CBS’s Bob Schieffer asked about putting more troops into Iraq, fighting ISIS, giving Congress a chance to act first on immigration and whether Democratic election losses were his fault, but he also devoted several questions to empathizing with Obama, as if Obama were a victim of circumstance and not responsible for failures or making situations worse.

Schieffer: “Let me ask you this, you had a tough summer. We saw the rise of ISIS, the outbreak of Ebola, trouble in the Ukraine, illegal immigrants coming across the border, did you ever go back to the residence at night and say, ‘are we ever going to get a break here?’”
