    Bill O'Reilly interviews Obama at or after the Super Bowl this weekend. Whoa, Obama, whazzup??? O'Reilly asked his audience for questions that he would ask Obama, and he said he'd choose one question.

    I asked,

    President Obama,

    According to a number of polls only 46% of Americans believe you to be honest and trustworthy, and that obviously includes millions of Democrats. Why Mr. President, for the sake of the American people, have you not kept yourself from being seen in this dishonest light?

    Charles Krauthammer suggested this question:

    "Mr. President, in 2008 you once said that Ronald Reagan was a consequential president historically in a way that Bill Clinton was not. Sir, when history writes about you, will you be a Reagan, or will you be a Clinton?"


    Krauthammer also said after the SOTU,

    “He sounds like a president who realizes he’s not going to get it done. He did the one thing – health care – which he’s trying to hold up and hold back the other forces opposing it, but that’s it,” Krauthammer said. “Now he’s playing small ball. He’s being a Clinton and not a Reagan.”
    He said it was “almost embarrassing” to hear the president talk about issues he brought up last year. “When he repeated Guantanamo, which is a cause he gave up on himself years ago, you knew that he sort of run out of ideas.”
    Krauthammer called Obama's statement about Iran beginning to eliminate its nuclear stockpile "simply not true."

    About Gitmo, what Obama supporters have never listened to were those shocked DEM legislators who pointed out to the MSM at the time that Barack Obama refused either to get involved in helping them twist arms to close Gitmo OR appoint someone in his administration who's job it would have been to coordinate their efforts with administration efforts . . . that is were the administration EVER to have gotten off its rump and participated in the process. Many DEM legislators said the equivalent of just that to the Obama-sycophant press of the day . . . which REFUSED to bring that as an issue to the nation.

    Gutsy nothing! O'Reilly is a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) when it comes to interviewing the president. He may as well be interviewed by Robin Roberts.

    It's the toughest Obama is willing to do. It's better than some 60 minutes on their knees interview.

    What was it, less that a week ago O'Riley brought on a a guest claiming Obama was getting the American people to accept the anti-Christ and to which completely agreed.

    I have a feeling O'Riley just might go off the deep end while conducting this interview, he is too far gone. Will sure be interesting.

    Well, I understand what you mean, but watch carefully. O'Reilly will, in a rather hidden way, bring out the hypocrisies and contradictions of Obama, and at the same time will give Obama credit in the places he deserves credit.

    It sounds like you're angry at O'Reilly, but realize that O'Reilly brings out the better man in a lot of interviewees. And bringing out the better man will reveal cracks in the facade of that man also. O'Reilly brings out the best in Hillary, Michael Moore, Charlie Rangle. He of course can also reveal the worst in an interviewee. :)

    He didn't agree to that. Don't be nuts and a liar. Listen to the interview, don't take Media Matters word for it.

    O'Reilly isn't nuts, he's only an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*). And a very, very smart (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) at that.

    We know that todd. That's old news, and it's also why it's interesting. O'Reilly makes people see hidden things (some good, some not so) about Obama. --well, he doesn't make YOU see things about Obama todd, because I'm sure that you cling fast to see only what you want to see. But not everyone is so partisan as you. This thread is for them. Thank you . :)

    - - - Updated - - -

    I hope it ISN'T different. You need to pay more attention to what O'Reilly is doing. To the person not studying O'Reilly, O'Reilly just looks like an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) with a few good points, and a bad temper.

    Be smarter than that. :)

    I think O'Reilly is a fraud. I think he's a womanizer and a perv. I think he's an egoist. I think his show is dishonest. I think he's dishonest. I remember the last SB interview, and it sucked.

    I did watch the interview. In fact I posted the interview the the thread about the intervew. I then posted a series of other O'Riley interviews which show how O'Riley reacts when he doesn't agree with his guest. In this interview with a Religous extremists, O'Riley nodded along with the rediculous premise and didn't challenge one thing that was said. He brought this guest on who claims Obama is leading the way for the American people to accept the anti-Christ and doesn't even question the premise?

    He either agrees with the premise or lacks any integrity as a journalist. And smart does not equal sane.

    O'reilly should ask if Obama has improved his golf game any since his last vacation a few weeks ago in Hawaii... Also, since I live in Chicago, O'reilly should ask if he considers Chicago his "hometown" or is it now, Hawaii...

    I think you sound like a hard core Liberal. O'Reilly isn't any of those things.

    On the contrary. I'm a conservative. He is all of those things. Did you just forget about him being sued for sexual harassment? Not an egoist? Are you serious?

    Half of the people saying that they trust BH Obama are liberals and respect liars so they are lying about trusting him.

    Bill O'Reilly thinks that he is the coolest person alive and will not take a chance with his hand made shirts to rumble with Barry.

    BH Obama is the worst president in the history of the planet. If he could get the American people to accept the anti-Christ he would and apply for that job. He would fail; and the whole anti-Christ myth would fall out of favor.

    I hadn't thought of it that way. I just chalked it up to not wanting to ruin future opportunities interviewing presidents. You could be right. Barry is a smart guy. Maybe O'Reilly is afraid of being shown what the room looks like upside down.

    I don't believe you really think that. You're too smart. But you obviously do have SOME sort of agenda concerning O'Reilly. :)

    - - - Updated - - -

    Not true. There are other possibilties as to why he doesn't question certain things. Especially ridiculous things. I'll leave it to you to figure out why, since I sense that you are not really in the mood to hear it from me. :)

    O'Reilly is one outstanding human being. He has some faults, but they aren't much to worry about if you're a person who sees life as a happy and safe thing. :)

    Many people sue others for sexual harassment and many turn out to be false.

    I have seen a lot of changes with O'Reilly over the years. He use to be a big blow hard like Rush. He use to not give the opposition enough time to get their views out. I saw him many times shout down the opposition when he didn't agree. He would never give the other side credit even when they deserved it. He has changed a lot. I have much more respect for him than I did.

    I gave him a chance after he was sued. I watched him for years after that. And every female guest got hotter and hotter. Does an ugly woman stand a chance of even appearing on his show? I'm not trying to be pious or prudish. It's just my observation of Bill O'Reilly. And I would bet that the people closest to him at Fox would privately say he's a perv. It's just a hunch, man. I got nothing on the guy. Someone will write a book someday, although it won't be the woman who sued him. She can't say a word, ever.
