‘I thought one of most important things he said is when he said when you disagree with somebody, you got talk about it’

Obama Acolytes Gush over His ‘Powerful’ Commencement Address (NewsBusters)

The networks on Saturday, Sunday and Monday gushed over Barack Obama’s “powerful” commencement address to Howard University, highlighting the President’s self-serving calls for compromise and touting how successful he’s been. CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King on Monday unquestioningly hyped, “I thought one of most important things he said is when he said when you disagree with somebody, you got talk about it. You can't reach any kind of agreement or compromise without talking.” 

How often has the President compromised on ObamaCare or gun control? King didn’t discuss Obama’s tendency to “listen.” Instead, she praised, “It was such a powerful speech....  I thought that was a powerful statement that many people need to hear.”
