<p>A Daily Caller reporter who <a href="http://blog.newsok.com/breakingnews/2012/06/15/live-video-obama-discusses-blocking-deportation-of-younger-immigrants/" target="_blank">interrupted President Barack Obama last week </a>during a speech about the president&#8217;s new immigration policy appeared on Fox News to defend his actions.</p>
<p>Neil Munro told Sean Hannity that he thought Obama was mid-sentence when he interrupted him.</p>
<blockquote><p>The only way to ask [Obama] a question at these events is to get him at the end as he’s leaving just before he dashes back to the Oval Office…Yes, I mistimed it. I thought I was getting him at the end and frankly, I was wrong about that,&#8221; Munro said.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/19/neil-munro-tucker-carlson-obama_n_1608326.html" target="_blank">The Huffington Post reports</a> that Hannity then played a clip of reporters interrupting President Ronald Reagan in 1986 during his remarks. Watch the video interview <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/19/neil-munro-tucker-carlson-obama_n_1608326.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p>Rep. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, has come under scrutiny recently due to a video interview about his thoughts on sexual orientation and passing legislation to protect discrimination in the workplace. <span id="more-4161"></span></p>
<p>The <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/05/14/482200/lankford-fired-gay/?mobile=nc" target="_blank">blog Think Progress published a video</a> of the interview Monday with the headline &#8220;GOP Rep. Lankford Explains Why It should Be Legal To Fire Someone For Being Gay: &#8216;It&#8217;s A Choice Issue.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>Watch the interview below:</p>
<p><code><object width="550" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xEvtuVmIwBc?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="550" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xEvtuVmIwBc?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></code></p>
<p>Lankford did an interview with News 9 Tuesday and explained his position, claiming that the blog twisted his words and most likely targeted him because he&#8217;s a Christian.</p>
<p>He said he does think sexual orientation is a choice, but he said behavior outside of the workplace shouldn&#8217;t matter if an employee is fulfilling his or her duties.</p>
<p>&#8220;My decision would be to have great work performance and be a good employee and people will keep you,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just don’t think you have special protections based on behavior.&#8221;</p>

<p>James Harden has been making headlines lately after he earned the league&#8217;s <a href="http://newsok.com/okc-thunder-james-harden-transforms-into-leagues-best-sixth-man/article/3674366" target="_blank">Sixth Man of the Year award</a> and played a key role in the the Thunder&#8217;s sweep of the Dallas Mavericks.</p>
<p>And now his facial hair is back in the spotlight too, inspiring a catchy YouTube music video.</p>
<p>The video is called &#8220;Beard Like Harden&#8221; and has been viewed more than 8,500 times since Thursday. It takes a few shots at the Los Angeles Lakers and even mentions OKC&#8217;s Kevin Durant and his lack of facial hair. Check it out.</p>
