While Still Whining About Obama Snub, Chris Wallace Calls White House ‘Thin-Skinned’

President Obama is appearing on five Sunday talk shows today, including the Spanish-language Al Punto on Univision. However, Obama’s media blitz doesn’t include Fox News. Since the news broke, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace has been whining about the snub, calling the White House the “biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with” and saying that Obama is petty and childish.

Wallace continued his whining this morning on Fox News Sunday. In a teaser to a discussion of the snub, Wallace asks, “What ever happened to reaching out to all Americans?”

But ironically, later during the panel discussion, Wallace cited a recent report showing that Obama has done more one-on-one interviews than both Presidents Clinton and Bush up this point and wondered if Obama is “overexposed” (despite wanting to interview him on his show). In another bit of irony, Wallace, who has been complaining for the past few days about the snub, accused the White House of being thin-skinned:

WALLACE: Every president is thin-skinned but I wonder whether this administration, this White House has a particular problem with criticism. … Not talking about just us but just the attitude of this White House. Whatever happened to reaching out to all Americans?

Watch it:

It seems odd that Wallace would complain about not reaching out to all Americans when his own network decided not to broadcast Obama’s speech to Congress on health care last week (the cable network, not the broadcasting company, aired the speech).

During one of Wallace’s whining sessions this week, another Fox host complained that Obama is skipping out on “the highly rated Fox News Sunday.” But as Media Matters points out, Fox News Sunday is “in dead last, where it has remained pretty much since its inception.”

    I don’t understand how anyone can voluntarily tune in that whiny little wuss.


  4. pintosahab says:

    And, there is not one person at Fox who is worth the President’s time. They are stone deaf to reason and will spin whatever he says to spew hatred anyway. So why should he waste his time? He’s better off presenting his case to reasonable folks and move this debate forward.


  5. IndSteveAZ says:

    Wallace is either pouting or taunting….neither should be be rewarded or enabled with a presidential interview.


  6. osage says:

    THERE IS NO DECENCY OR COMPASSION IN TODAY’S POLTICAL SYSTEM……ONLY GREED, MALICE AND HATRED CREATED, MANIPULATED AND EXPLOITED BY CORPORATISM AND THE CAREER POLITICIANS AND MEDIA PUNDITS WILLING TO PROSITUTE THEMSELVES

    In America, the oil, insurance, medical and pharmaceutical industries are all OPEC like cartels /MONOPOLIES that use their money to BUY POLITICIANS and the government policies they formulate.

    We ARE NOT a DEMOCRACY or a FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM. WE ARE nothing more than a third world country whose RICH DICTATORS are paying the PEOPLE’S REPRESENTATIVES to enforce the will of CORPORATIONS and sacrifice the welfare of 98% of it’s citizens. ONLY THE RICH are served by today’s BOUGHT and PAID FOR political and government officials.

    From President Obama on down, CAREER POLITICIANS are allowing the EVIL of MONEY to DRIVE AMERICA INSANE and to BANKRUPT and DESTROY everything that was once MORAL and DECENT in our society.

    IF President Obama ISN’T willing to FIGHT THE RIGHTEOUS FIGHT and LOSE, he will PERPETUATE and STRENGTHEN the tentacles of moral and ethical corruption that are literally STRANGLING THE LIFE OUT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

    IT’S NOT AMERICAN GOVERNMENT THAT WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD FEAR……IT’S AMERICAN CAREER POLITICIANS and FAUX NEWS!


  7. dbadass says:

    conservative guy has a very thin skin as well. That explains why he can never stick around to chat…


  8. WaltTheMan says:

    A snub works two ways. If Faux wants to selectively air his speeches, he can choose when to talk to Faux.


  9. liberalinaredstate says:

    Just like the Family research council and a host of other Bush loving conservative bible organizations, FOX has no access to the White House and it pisses them off. From what I can recall, Chris Wallace was always in Tony Snow’s office. Obama is clearly not afraid of Chris Wallace, he obviously has chosen to spend his time more wisely……. Why would anyone want to speak with a Network that continuously calls him a communist and a host of other nonsense. Talk about thin skinned Mr. Wallace.


  10. kasinca says:

    If the FAUX newsfaker is whining about the white house not giving him the time of day, it is the FAUX newsfaker who is thin skinned. I believe that is called projection in psychology.


  11. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    WALLACE: Every president is thin-skinned but I wonder whether this administration, this White House has a particular problem with criticism.

    No Mr. Wallace, President Obama doesn’t have a problem with criticism, he has a problem with lies, misrepresentations and innuendos which is pretty much what Fixed News is all about.

    The word “irony” was obviously left out of the Republican dictionary.


  12. The Shadow says:

    The problem with Chris Wallace is that he is a bltch! He is so busy trying to prove that he isn’t his father, he goes too far to the right. This little moron doesn’t have a mind of his own like all the other idiots at Fixed News. He only gets his marking orders, talking points and toes the party line so he can’t see facts as they are. His agenda is to further the aims of Fixed News, rightwing nuts, and the Republican party. And he wants, no demands an interview! Keep wishing little man, maybe we will change the law and Dubya will once again become Idiot In Chief.


  13. Briseadh na Faire says:

    If Obama were truely ‘thin skinned’ he would have ordered mass arrests of protesters (as Bush did), ESPECIALLY those who showed up with loaded weapons at events where he was present.

    He would have also found a way to yank Fox’s broadcasting license by now.


  14. ljm says:

    The Fox Opinion Network deserves to be marginalized. It is UNfair and UNbalanced and the only thing it will earn is the blame, if the hatred and violence it condones and/or promotes becomes reality!


  15. Fred says:

    osage says:
    IF President Obama ISN’T willing to FIGHT THE RIGHTEOUS FIGHT and LOSE…

    Obama has staked his political future on health care reform. How much more committment can a politician have today?

    He could have avoided this danger but he did not.


  16. dasm says:

    Wallace doesn’t even see the irony in his public whining & pouting as he calls Obama “childish”. Repubs will lie about everything they say– his comment about the WH being afraid of criticism– what a crock– and we all remember what happened to anyone who even slightly criticized Bush– that person was immediately branded a traitor, treasonous, anti-troop, and was blacklisted by all Repub sheep.


  17. konchster says:

    Daddy would be so proud of you sonny. Now go get a life


  18. SmokeyJoe says:

    We heard this past week that 46,000 Americans a year are dying because of inadequate health care. Yet Fox’s only goal is to tear down the Democratic Party, including the Obama Administration as they try to talk to the American people about the need for health care reform.

    Fox’s point of view is obvious for all to see – they want to make a mockery of the health care debate. It is more important to the right wing that the president lose this debate than it is to help American citizens obtain proper health care.

    So why exactly would President Obama waste his time going on a station that has zero interest in helping this administration talk to the American people about reform?

    Evidently Fox would rather see people continue to die than see the Obama Administration pass this legislation.

    And they consider themselves to be a “news” station? Please. This administration was 100% correct in their decision NOT to have the president go on Fox.


  19. stewarjt says:

    At least the Obama Adminstration’s spokespeople don’t automatically question their critics’ patriotism.


  20. The Shadow says:

    Cry babies? No my LITTLE friend it appears that you are the one crying about not getting to present you rightwing nut job spin to the public under the pretense of you being a journalist and conducting an actual interview. If the President wanted to be lectured then he would go back to college. Chris Wallace wouldn’t know a journalist if one raised him from birth. Oh by the way one did, I wonder where his dad went wrong. He has every right to be a conservative, but he doesn’t have a right to make up the facts and call it news.


  21. texasrick says:

    I remember watching the election results last November and once the results were starting to lean towards the President, I switched over to watch Faux.

    Wallace had a look on him like a deer in the headlights…just pale, sullen, and speechless. PRICELESS!!!!

    The hell with all of those jerks.


  22. Exit Stage Left says:

    I get a big smile on my face every time I think of Bill Clinton b!tch-slapping lil Chrissy and wagging his finger at him.


  23. whatizz says:

    I think Chris was ready to ask some”tough”questions of the President. He has been resting with the fawning softball questions he has asked any leading Republican that has been on his show the past few years.His performance as a “journalist” has sunk so low that he is just another studio host now.He must not remember any of his fathers interviews.


  24. joe cantwell says:

    ***

    chris, michael schwartz, the chief of staff for

    sen. tom coburn is no doubt available to appear

    on your show. schwartz would be delighted to

    discuss such topics as “the principles and ideals

    for a new ‘masculinism’” and how “all pornography

    is homosexual pornography”. this is headline breaking

    news chris! the graphics alone will send your ratings

    past becky and into the stratosphere. it will “reach out

    to all americans”. get schwartz on asap chris,

    you won’t regret it.

  25. The Shadow says:

    For Chris Wallace to call anyone childish is a joke. He’s the stupidest idiot at Fixed News and that includes those morons on Fox and Idiots in the morning. This fool was raised by one of the greatest journalist that ever lived and he sinks to spreading propaganda for a transplanted Austrialian who wants to take over the world. If he didn’t look so much like his father, I’d swear the milk man got in there first. But apparently he was born brain dead and they raised him anyway. How anyone could work at Fixed News and call think they are really a reporter is beyond me. I can understand his being a Republican nut job, but I can’t understand why he wants to pretend he’s actually a reporter. That is the definition of insanity! Chris Wallace MUST be committed at once, at once, I say!!!!!!

    Head of nail, meet hammer.


  27. Jackie says:

    I saw O’Reilly interview then Senator Obama and it was attack from the beginning to the end. Then for days O’Reilly spinned/lied/twist the interview for about two weeks because of the rateings. Yes Fox News knows when the President is on a station the rates go up with viewers. Look for David Letterman to be smiling from ear to ear Monday night as President Obama will be his only guest. Remember when John McCain was a no show to Letterman but did an interview with Katie Couric across the street at the same CBS building.


  28. Mike Hunt says:

    The only way to deal with Fixed News Channel is the off button.


  29. evangenital says:

    To think that the great and illustrious Mike Wallace would sire such a sniveling right-wing toadie is quite tragic.

    That acorn not only fell quite far from the tree; it’s not even in the same forest.

    FoxNews is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the repiggie corporate elite.

    That crowd wouldn’t know “news” if it bit them on their keesters.


  30. GG says:

    Looks like Chris is joining W in the nepotism hall of fame.


  31. The Moderate Squad says:

    GREAT point about Fox not running Obama’s speech. And Obama is an efficient, organized man, so why would he waste his time talking to people who regularly lie about and distort his message, all to “reach” the unreachable?

    As for being “overexposed,” clearly that wouldn’t be significantly enhanced by showing up on the worst-rated (and just plain worst) Sunday morning political show.


  32. Hoodathunk says:

    I guess Chris has forgotten his station went to court to prove to the world Faux wasn’t a news station. That sort of lets them off the list of news reporters the White House wants to deal with.

    I’m sure if somebody in the administration comes up with an idea for a new unreality or comedy show, they can still find Faux’s number.

    THE CORPORATE INSURGENCY IS NOW IN FULL EFFECT.

    REDEFINE CORPORATE EXISTANCE THRU STATE CHARTER REVISION!!!! Put it on the ballot everywhere.

    Poor Fox babies. They push away all but the ones who grovel for them. So why should they expect anyone with self-respect to appear on their channel with all its barbs, gotchas, derision, lies, and all the other synonyms that Roget has collected.

    By the way, I include staying away from offices and waiting rooms with Fox blaring.

    As an aside, Gretchen Carlson used to be on Cleveland TV news, and then she disappeared. Now I can make a good guess as to why.

    And how does the network of lies and propaganda represent “all Americans” Chrissy boy?


  40. Fred says:

    faux spent it’s time vilifying Acorn. Bertha Lewis(CEO) was the guest and they did what they always do. Two of them talked over her every time she opened her mouth.

  42. pags2 says:

    I would surmise that if Obama was to go on Fox, they would have anti-Obama demonstrators outside. Fox has perfected the art of ambush and now they cannot use it. Maybe they will learn to have a little more respect, but I doubt it.

    Why is it then, BS88, that I am always amused at the obvious scripted shenanigans. This is the exact same thing they were doing before 2006 elections as they are today.

    They [FOX/RNC/GOP] seriously need a new plan instead of the ATTACK, DENY ATTACKING, Then WHINE when others push back against the distortion.

    Example; Beck says Obama is a racist, then basically denies it, then when people [Carter for one] push back they whine about being called racists themselves and how its unfair they are being attacked.

    GROW UP FOX.

    Little Chrissy Wail-*ss was, indeed, in rare form this morning. Hilarious irony!

    I do wonder, though, why they should be so depressed about the President’s snub. After all, if he had been on their rant-fest this morning, they wouldn’t have had time to brow-beat the ACORN CEO. And really. When you have exclusive access to such impeccable luminaries as Darth Cheney, Billy The Bloody, John (”Got Milk?”) Bolton and Newtie The Grinch, does it really matter if you get stiffed by the “leader of the free world?

    As for the President not “reaching out to the people”, anyone not so narrow-minded as to ignore him could easily change their TV channel to catch Obama’s comments on ABC, NBC, etc. Oh, there’s the rub! It’s all about ratings and reputation, isn’t it Chrissy?


  64. Shayne says:

    I thought we didn’t negotiate with the enemy. A “news” station that encourages hate and incites violence against the President seems more like a terrorist organization to most of us. I wouldn’t trust them to have their people in close contact with President Obama.

    how/why do they do it?

    … oh, i know… but still…

    on CBS Sunday Morning, Jeff Greenfield did a piece on the teabaggers’ townhalls and the parade in d.c. … and has asked “why?”
    … why all the anger and fear?

    and he, and most other pundits, avoid the answer: LIES.

    oh, he acknowledged that fox and beck and limpballs were the main instigators – but never called it LIES, much less misinformation…

    the teabaggers are genuinely fearful and angry, but it’s based on LIES.

    LIES. LIES. LIES.

    … because “fox tells both sides… the others are biased… liberal…”
    [sez a teabaggerette]

    ugh.



  81. katy says:

    Wallace asks, “What ever happened to reaching out to all Americans?”

    really… what ever happened to that…?

    imagine all the good it would have done if fox had allowed
    it’s viewers to watch the president’s address last week…

    sure, many of them would have turned the channel, or griped,
    but many more would have watched out of sheer laziness…
    yet still, would get smarter…

    Whatever happened to reaching out to all Americans?

    There isn’t a certain portion of Americans who have no choice but to watch FAUX Noise. If people want to see Obama be interviewed, they are able to change the channel. Therefore, Obama can “reach out to all Americans” on any channel, more so on broadcast networks rather than cable shows.

    Wallace should be looking internally where he can have an impact rather than being a crybaby. Glenn Beck, after all, is on Fox. Frankly, Wallace’s Sunday show is the only Fox show I ever watch and with him taking it to new lows I’m not sure how much longer I will put up with his crap. Watching this Fox implosion is entertaining for now.

    “While Still Whining About Obama Snub, Chris Wallace Calls White House ‘Thin-Skinned’”

    lol Still pissed that the President dissed the fair and balanced news Fox News. Priceless.


  94. VerbalKint says:

    Chris Wallace is a pathetic crybaby.


  95. jurassicpork says:

    They still haven’t forgiven us for Las Vegas and the Democratic debate they wanted to “sponsor.”

    Assclowns of the Week #77 is just up and still steaming hot. And, dear God, is it a good one. On the spit this week: Fox and the Wa Po; Orly Taitz; Max Baucus; Joe Wilson; Obama, Reid and Specter and much, much more.


  96. Just Hormiga says:

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Too funny! Good on Obama! Why waste time with the rodeo clown station.

    @ 71. dbadass says: Hi bradshaw88
    What does the 88 indicate? Just wondering.
    September 20th, 2009 at 1:01 pm

    I asked about that a month or so ago and never got an answer. some sort of angry pop-up troll; pops up, bellows something, disappears up own arse. That kind of deal, yanno…


  98. Virtual Pebble says:

    88 also has some significance as a title or symbol in a couple of other contexts. that would permit bradshaw88 a weasel exit if he’s just a punk troll, but he’s probably an alRighty alReichy almighty whitey troll (pop-up division).


  99. davemartin7777 says:

    The President doesn’t need to reach out to Reich-wing, racist nutjobs.

    Completely pointless to do so.


  100. flight says:


    President Obama is a class act.

    Al Punto on Univision was determined to be a legitimate News broadcaster, FOX News was not. The determination was made by the President of the United States.

    Contrast all the screaming of the right wing for months trying to marginalize President Obama. In one simple, quite decision he has rendered the Republican Party and its mouth piece irrelevant this morning.

    “The President of the United States does not consider FOX News to be a legitimate news organization”


  101. SP Biloxi says:

    I just read Obama’s interview on Univsion website [translated in English]. It was great interview and fair as I may add. There was no spin and no distortion whatsoever. I am glad that Obama dissed Fox news as flight said that Fox News is not legitmate and fair news organization. But, here the link of english version. Reporter Jorge Ramos did a great job interviewing President Obama:

    Barack Obama President ruled that illegal immigrants can benefit the health system reform that promotes for approval in Congress, in an interview with Jorge Ramos on Al Punto on Univision Network.

    http://74.125.19.132/translate_c?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.univision.com/content/content.jhtml%3Bjsessionid%3DPJO3HY5HYZP4ICWIABQCFEYKZAAGMIWC%3Fcid%3D2094409&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dobama%2Bunivision%26hl%3Den&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhhKjHRKzho-rara3OfWMeJACyZg6g

    Again, Fox News Chris Wallace is acting like the ugly girl that got dissed from prom night. I hope Obama does more interviews with Univision.


  102. gummble-bee-itch says:

    majii: According to s recent documentary on the History Channel 88=HH=Heil Hitler!=A likely associate of a white supremacist group

    Some irony that this is post #88


  103. MapleStreet says:

    Do you mean unlike the Bush bush cabal which would **NEVER** grant Faux preferential status or keep news away from the outlets that didn’t server as cheerleaders ?

    Or unlike McCain ?

    I haven’t heard of an Obama seating chart in Air Force One based on the number of favorable reports yet.


  104. Cal Malenky says:

    With Fox, Rush, Glenn, BillO, Sean and the rest, it’s always all about THEM and their alternate reality, all the time.


  105. e_to_the_pOTATO BUG says:

    better than thick skulled.


  106. Parlezvous says:

    It’s no wonder that Chris Wallace is unable to do no better than he does intellectually; his nose, which is more of a proboscis than a nose, requires way to many brain cells to operate it that Chris does have enough brain cells left or critical thinking other than be critical of the President.

    He’s a schmuck.

    YOUR WHOLE STUPID OPERATION IS BASED ON WHINING!!!! DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO! THE JERK PROGRESS WAY!!

    ————————————————————–
    You seem to be stuck on the word “JERK”. When you describe yourself which of these terms do you use with the word Jerk; off or wad?

    Personally I don’t care because you sir are pointless, but I thought I’d help you do a little introspection. Oh I’m sorry that means to think about why you do the things you do. I guess I assume too much though. It’s obvious you just do and don’t bother to think before you do.

    By the way, we silently suffered for eight years, imagine going to a Town Hall meeting of Bush’s and doing one of the following: yelling so he couldn’t be heard; carrying a gun; or yelling YOU LIE or KILLER. LOOKS LIKE YOU SHOULD DO AS YOU SAY AND NOT AS YOU DO, BOZO.

    By the way, do YOU serve cheese and crackers with YOUR whine? After all you came here to whine didn’t you?


  108. KufPu says:

    Reading all these posts, it made me think about the contrast between father Wallace & son. I long for the days (and sadly, I think they’re gone) when it wasn’t obvious what a given reporter’s personal politics were, even after watching his reporting. He/she just did the story, left the spin for others to handle. Nowadays, watching the news on TV almost always means having to do homework; you can’t trust it enough to take it at face value anymore.

    As for Mike, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised (nor would I blame him) if I learned that he sometimes cries himself to sleep knowing what a tool his son is.


  109. mari2RR says:

    Chris Wallace is so whiny. He reminds me of my granddaughter, a 5 year old, who was not invited to her friends birthday party. She had measles and although not under strict quarantine, she was still considered contagious. She never could understand and had a difficult time getting over it. However, she was 5 and Chris Wallace is a grown man. Frankly, he reminds me of a 5 yr old. He is so anti Obama on all of his programs so what is all that inviting for Obama to go on his show. Obama is just returning some of Fox’s usual bias against Obama and so Wallace is in a big whine. Where oh where is the newsman that is a chip off the old Mike Wlllace block. Surely not showing up in son, Mike.


  110. mcthfg says:

    Mr. Wallace –

    I know what you mean! I work for a fake news organization, too (it is just me for now, but we’re smearing liberals better than anyone, except FOX!), and the president won’t give me 4 hours out of his day, either. You’d think the guy was busy or something, when he could be spending half his time clearing “brush” from his “ranch” with his “wife.”


  111. Lunaluz says:

    Cry me a river, losers.. Faux is irrelevant. They are part of the problem not part of the answer. Seriously Mr. Wallace, you are not as important as you think you are and your right wing propaganda Cable station.


  112. nellieh says:

    The only reason they would consider having Obama on is to increase THEIR ratings. If Obama appeared they would insist THEIR lies are the truth and Obama’s answers bullsh!t. It doesn’t make sense to me and most likely Obama to appear on Wallace’s show just to be a punching bag with no room to duck and weave. He won’t convince those there to change their minds. Brain washing takes de-programming and time to get back to the land of the reasonable.


  113. Mark701 says:

    Obama is smart enough to know that if he appears on FOX “News” it has the effect of legitamizing them as a bonafide media outlet. I’m sure he has no desire to do that as they are are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the GOP.


  114. ALEJCARO says:

    President Obama has no business going on FOX. FOX likes nothing more than to criticize and ridicule his Administration, often by telling outright lies (i.e. GlennBeck and Shannity)in the guise of patriotism. Nothing good comes out of FOX REPUBLICAN NEWS. Why would anyone go on that channel and risk being insulted by the extremist wing of the Republican Party, is beyond me.


  115. Anthony Look says:

    WALLY, you pesky little flea of a man. Your bothersome trite rants just reinforce the napoleonic stature of your journalistic credibility. You cause an automatic cringe and grimace and distasteful regurg everytime your Kanye West ego spews your predictable GOP talking points. You are the verbal manifestation of your microphallic displacment. You are not worthy of any respect; don’t deluded yourself or pretend not to not to know that your soul was sold long ago. Find a rock, crawl under it and realize your place in American journalism.


  116. gunter says:

    If Fox News was the only major news outlet that didn’t get the love then that seems to indicate something about Fox News than about President Obama. saç ekimi
