President Says O’Reilly Interview “Crossed the Line”
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 9 Feb 2014 | John Semmens

Posted on 02/10/2014 11:34:15 AM PST by John Semmens

Bristling from what he characterized as “disrespectful and abusive treatment” he received during an interview, President Obama vowed never to appear on Fox News again.

“After I agreed to sacrifice some of my precious time in order to grant Mr. O’Reilly an interview prior to the Super Bowl I was greeted with insistent and intrusive questioning on topics I didn’t want to talk about,” Obama complained. “Worse, my veracity was impugned. Rather than just accept my word, Mr. Reilly seemed determined to demand some sort of independent verification, some sort of external evidence. I am not accustomed to being treated this way.”

The President said he will be conferring with advisers “to ascertain whether there are steps we can take to prevent a recurrence of this kind of disrespect. I’m certain that Mr. Reilly has done things that he’d rather keep private. If he were more clearly apprised of the risks he faces I am confident he will not repeat his errors.”

O’Reilly was just as pissed because Obama refused to buy a Factor mug or mousepad.

Is this a vanity piece or did His Royal Ears really say this? Sounds like pure satire.

If it isn't, it is further proof the O's consider themselves royalty.

Of course they ar BOTH Royals--as in pain in the butt.

Nothing speaks louder than free speech. Especially that expressed in last-resort disrespect.

Obama, you are a public servant answerable to we the American People. Bill O'Reilly is asking you questions about which the American People deserve straight answers.

We the people do not accept a dictator who wants to rule over us. We will rule ourselves under the guidance and protection of Providence and the U.S. Constitution.

... President Obama vowed never to appear on Fox News again.

I didn't watch the interview. But the first thing that I questioned when I read the OP is if Obama did the interview as a setup to say no more Fx News interviews.

I did at first. But it is so difficult these days to distinguish between real and satire.
