    I hardly see an ugly woman on Fox, no matter who's show it is. Fox is lucky to get not only beautiful women on, but as smart as they are beautiful. I'm not the only one to notice that.

    I'll have to look into this later when I have more time....but I understood they all each get to ask ONE question.

    Of course, you know what Obama will do; what he always does. He'll spend 10 minutes answering one question and not really say much. He certainly won't give a definitive answer.

    I find it hard to believe that Billo the Clown will do anything in any subtle way.

    He wins debates on his television show by a combination of editing and shouting people down.

    That won't work on live TV.

    I didn't know him before 2001. I respect him a lot. Yes, he puts too much emphasis on money as equaling success, and he isn't always exactly fair to his guests, though that's rare, but overall, he's the best commentator in existence.

    Apparently you didn't see his interviews with Obama, Clinton and Bush in the past.

    We already all knew this, and it is why we wonder that you keep up the rant about O'Reilly. :)

    Yes, they find amazingly intelligent woman who are also beautiful. It's kind of amazing. :)

    What politician in this day and age do you trust?

    It's all a dog and pony show where both parties are essentially different sides of the same coin.


    For the record..
    The only Politician I truly trust is Ron Paul, and his own party hates him. Tells you something doesn't it?

    Well, it will certainly be interesting, although I don't understand why Obama even gives him the time of day. If you look at his audience, he's basically preaching to a retirement home every night.

    All they have to know is how to read Roger's talking points. Nothing else is permitted.

    Pretty much.

    Although the President could go after Billo and the rest of the sock puppets on Fox for doing their best to scare thier audence.

    If I was his communications director, I would advise him to complete ignore them. Getting down in the mud with them inadvertently gives them credibility, when they clearly deserve none seeing as they're the communications arm of the GOP.

    Any questions asked of the President is fair game; however I'm curious to see if O'Reilly will be his usual smug, arrogant self or conduct himself in a civilized manner.

    If I remember correctly, Bill O'Reilly interviewed Pres Obama same time last year. There was nothing special about that interview either, seemed professional enough at the time.

    Those questions in the OP are horrible. They are hyper-partisan, "Gotcha!", almost disrespectful and the biggest problem is they require an answer far FAR too long and open ended. Obama is an amazing orator and if you don't close it he will let you get one question off.

    I would ask.....

    "Mr.President, the economy has improved but at a snails pace.

    Many opponents would say you have focused mainly on social issues and the sluggishly improving economy is despite government policy instead of because of it.

    What specific policies are you planning on focusing on to prove your opponents wrong and pivot specifically towards economic growth."

    Hmmmm . . . but isn't that simply an invitation for him to go on autopilot setting, repeat his SOTU speech nearly word for word while -- as he always does -- blaming everything on the Right in general with time out to blame Bush specifically? Look, there are unlikely to be any 'gotcha' moments since that's not really who or what O Reilly is as an interviewer. So mostly this will be a showpiece moment. Obama gets to lie to the nation and tell them that they are much better off now than they were in 2008 and O'Reilly gets to reaffirm his top dog slot at Fox News.

    Yup I totally think your right, I guess policies is a bad word and I should ay PROGRAMS.

    I would like to see what exact programs would he launch instead. The main goal is to get more specifics and get him off the typical talking points that politicians like to get stuck repeating.

    Your definitely right after rereading my statement. Definitely would want to be more specific, I agree.
