This is the moment the President Barack Obama lost his cool after a tense interview with a Texas TV reporter.

Famous for his unflappable image, Mr Obama waited until unclipping his microphone before glaring at his interviewer and saying: 'Let me finish my answers next time we do an interview, all right?’

It was a rare prickly moment for the embattled President, and comes as he faces criticism over his handling of the budget impasse and the U.S. mission in Libya.
