That interview must've really hurt Mr. Obama or they wouldn't be pushing back so hard at all the usual venues. As you know, I'm no fan of Ted Baxter, and the fact that this administration allowed him to interview Mr. Obama in such a highly-publicized way tells me that they didn't think he could damage them. Guess they were wrong.

I watched that interview.

It was what Obama should have daily. O’Reilly wasn’t too tough, he was fair.

Heck, O’Reilly is an Obama backer from way back.

Our media is so biased right now. It is truly pathetic.

Beyond belief.

oh? And what are some of the hard-hitting questions they would have asked?

I thought it was a pretty good interview. O’Reilly isn’t my favorite, but I thought he had Obama on his heels a couple of times.

If nothing else, he was certainly better than any of the so-called “moderators” we saw in the 2012 Presidential debates.

“I mean, it’s going to help the base and perhaps right-wing Republicans,” she continued, “but it won’t help anyone get elected in a national election.”

Interesting statement. So the media's job is to get someone elected?

Interesting how Melvin and Del Percio have become household names with top-rated TV shows, multi-million dollar salaries, and a string of top-selling books while Bill O’Reilly is just a nobody...

“hard-hitting”? - Obama slid off of every question O’Reilly asked - even the “fundamentally changed” question, when Obama flat out said he didn’t want fundamental change, was shunted aside after O’Reilly counterpunched with “your own words” but failed to challenge O with something like what did you mean by fundamental change or why did you say it to begin with - as Rush is saying, now Obama can claim that he’s faced all the tough questions from the likes of Fox News and answered them all, let’s move on......

The Pravda are only satisfied if people bent down and kiss Obama’s feet..after all, he is the Dear Leader, they must bow and kiss his royal feet

Whatever your opinion of O’Reilly may be I have to say that O’Reilly ASKED QUESTIONS and COVERED ISSUES that are seldom if EVER touched on by the MSM.

RE :”That interview must’ve really hurt Mr. Obama or they wouldn't be pushing back so hard at all the usual venues”

A better explanation came up on Kelly file tonight that Obama did the interview for the same reason he does everything now, play the victim to turn out the minority base to vote.

That is why he complained to BOR a few times that he BOR was picking on him (Obama)

MSNBC is on that theme full steam ahead.

“but it won’t help anyone get elected in a national election.”

We don't have national elections, They are all local. Also there is no such thing as a "federal election" (the electoral college might be construed as an an exception),these dopes don't get it.

Rush was right. This interview was nothing but branding for FNC and going for Nielsen numbers. We all knew BHO would not divulge anything of substance. We all know BO’Re is an admirer of BHO and is scared of being labeled racist for going after BHO too hard. Good gosh, he telegraphed his questions all last week on “TOF”. Come on, you don’t say “He may be wrong, but his heart is in the right place.” BO’Re even acknowledged the good charitable work BHO did with BO’Re on the Wounded Warriors Project. No way BO’Re was going to go for the throat after that. BO’Re is not looking out for the people. He is a charlatan.
