The question Obama is sensitive to with Major Garrett of CBS.....was one of retaliation for being EMBARRASSED.

Major Garrett Responds to Obama Scolding: I Intended to Be ‘Provocative’
by Evan McMurry | 3:01 pm, July 15th, 2015 1278
CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett took what the network called a “public scolding” from President Barack Obama after he asked about the White House’s “contentment” with American hostages being left out of the Iranian nuclear negotiations.“That’s nonsense. You should know better,” Obama said of Garrett’s characterization of his “contentment.” “Nobody’s ‘content,’ and our diplomats and our teams are working diligently to try to get them out.”
Garrett brushed off the “scolding” — one host suggested
“spanking” — on CBS’ news streaming network a few minutes later when
questioned by anchor Contessa Brewer.
“Sometimes you have to take a scolding from a president to get to an answer,” Garrett said. “That’s part of my job.”“Politics, especially those elected as president, are very adept at creating straw men…that’s exactly what the president did,” Garrett said. “Clearly it struck an serve. That was my intention…Was it provocative? Yes. Was it intended to be as such? Absolutely.”
Garrett said he didn’t mean to imply that Obama was “content” leaving Americans hostage, but argued the administration has used the phrasing multiple times with families of the hostages, suggesting they would never be “content” with the situation — making it odd that the hostages were not part of the negotiations.
