#MajorGarrett is a huge asshole. If U wanna "strike a nerve" with POTUS, why not just scream the N word? That shld get his attention.

@billmaher Pathetic.

Yes. Asking President why he couldn't get 4 hostages in exchange for $100 billion is just like using a racial slur. https://t.co/ighEQzGsFR

I'm sure those American hostages in Iran would agree with you, if they weren't AMERICAN HOSTAGES IN IRAN. https://t.co/ocNoqnSz17

@billmaher What a rebel. Never thought you would be ok with sycophantic God-like worship of any politician. And throw in the race card. Nice

@billmaher I doubt you'd feel that way if someone asked a republican president a similarly probing question.

.@billmaher I saw a #POTUS who couldn't answer a question he should've been able to answer. Weak as water. And the race thing? It's so over.

@billmaher You missed the point of his question by 3 miles.

@JackieVasser @billmaher we watched a POTUS throw a childish temper tantrum on nat'l TV. Of course he isn't use to tough questions:/

@billmaher you’re racist. Obama can’t handle a tough question because he’s black? You have double standard for him. Remember Sam Donaldson?

I'm old enough to remember when dissent was supposed to be patriotic… https://t.co/1sUlbWPtjP

Raising a difficult question to Dear Leader is so racist, right @billmaher . Seriously, are you incapable of originality these days?

— Lady Hecate (@Hecate40) July 16, 2015

@billmaher That a boy, go right for the race card since your unable to have a grown up discussion. Ur as immature as OB. Grow the F.. Up!

.@billmaher is an underpants gnome. 1. Serious, important question for incompetent @POTUS. 2. _____ 3. Racist!

@billmaher Speaking truth to power apparently doesn't include lèse-majesté.

Maybe @MajorCBS doesn’t think Obama is an “N word” like you do, racist. @billmaher https://t.co/IGjmVqtcyM

@RBPundit @MajorCBS @billmaher Not allowed to question the Prince of Peace.

What's the easiest way to shut-down dissent and avoid the truth? Cry, "Racism!" What a loser >> @billmaher

— Sarah Everett (@sarahzview) July 16, 2015

@billmaher Obama is all grown up and the leader of the free world. Stop carrying his water and let him take a couple tough questions.

— PaulEmerson (@smellyfed) July 16, 2015

If you're so intent on protecting Obama @billmaher, maybe you should get out of comedy and become a journalist. https://t.co/C9b95rfzjX
