A TVNewser tipster alerted us to a part of Pres. Obama’s town hall last hour in which he describes “certain news channels on which I’m not very popular” in relation to the tea parties earlier this month. All three cablers carried part of the event, but only CNN was airing it live at 12:13pmET when Obama said this:
When you see, you know, those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I’m not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we’re going to stabilize social security. Claire [McCaskill] and I are working diligently to do basically a thorough audit of federal spending. But let’s not play games and pretend that the reason is because of the Recovery Act, because that’s just a fraction of the overall problem that we’ve got.
