Obama to Texas Reporter: ‘Let Me Finish My Answers Next Time’ Published April 19, 2011 | FoxNews.com Print Email Share Comments (2169) FILE - In this President Barack Obama outlines his fiscal policy during an address at George Washington University in Washington. Obama said in April that he wants to do away with tax breaks to lower the rates and to reduce government borrowing. His proposal would result in $1 trillion in tax increases over the next 12 years.

That’s what the president told a Texas reporter after a brief but contentious interview in which he was challenged about his unpopularity in the state. “Let me finish my answers next time we do an interview, all right?” he told WFAA News 8 reporter Brad Watson. During the interview, one of four that Obama held with Texas media in the White House on Monday, the president argued that even though the Lone Star state was historically Republican, his election meant that the politics there was changing. “We lost by a few percentage points in Texas,” Obama said. But Watson corrected the president, saying that he lost by 11 percentage points to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
