O'Reilly Hammers NBC Obama Bias; Scott Rasmussen on Falling Obama Poll Numbers - Video 8/13/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | August 13, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 08/13/2009 7:31:03 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of Bill O'Reilly tonight where he hammered NBC News and their parent company General Electric for overtly trying to come to the rescue of President Obama and the Democrats' Government Health Care Plan.

O'Reilly also talked with Pollster Scott Rasmussen about the dramatic drop of President Obama in the polls. Rasmussen feels the drop is not only because of Health Care, but also because of an accumulation of pent up frustration from everything Obama has done since taking office - Stimulus, General Motors takeover, Cash for Clunkers, Cap and Trade, etc.

O'Reilly also talked with a Political Scientist from Occidental College who was very defensive of Obama and the need for "Health Care Reform." She condescendingly said that Americans are being convinced that "what is in their best interests is not in their best interests." The professor is wrong. Americans are smart enough to know exactly what is in their best interests. That's why they are opposing ObamaCare. . . . (Watch Video)

You betcha'
The man is either a total screw up or a diabolical mad man. Take your pick. Either way, he doesn't belong in the oval office - that's for sure.

Say what you will about BOR but he is right more often than he is wrong. I enjoy watching his show.

If so, it's purely luck of the draw. The man's ignorance of the topics he discusses never ceases to amaze.

I guess this is what happens when the Administration tries to screw Fox News.

We live in interesting times.

I think of Obama as the person who got promoted from being a supervisor in the maul room of a major corporation to becoming the corporation's new CEO.

Re Health Care: My understanding is that Medicare will go bankrupt if we do nothing. I don’t know if this means that cutting other government programs to fund Medicare won’t work or what...I don’t have the numbers ...but what the so called experts are saying is that it’s on the road to inevitable failure. So, given that, we have to do something. What I disagree with is what the rats have proposed...a backwards solution to a problem, one that will just inevitably create a larger problem.

The thing is...we can’t do nothing...problem is the rats think more control is the answer when it is obviously just a bigger problem.

Thanks to all the idiots who voted for, or stayed home with their noses in the air, while these morons got elected.

Maul room. Yes, absolutely, that's accurate.

People know that this health-care debate is all about CONTROL. It has nothing to do with healthcare itself. The stupid lady talks about people using the ERs as their primary care...hello, the federal gov’t mandates that ERs can’t turn them away. If you end that mandate, people would become more responsible and ER costs would decline. Get rid of all federal mandates, privatize Medicaid, phase-out Medicare, enact strict tort reform, and create incentives for Health Savings Accounts. Health care costs will fall dramatically.

Could be both.

He's not a total screw up. Obama wants to "transform" America. Everything he does is with this purpose.

The woman, sorry can't remember her name, displays the arrogance of liberalism. The government knows what is best for the people, but the people are too stupid to know what is good for them. That is almost a direct quote from her. It certainly was her meaning. On the other hand, I have more faith in the people than I do the liberal oligarchy in Washington. I hate the arrogant and condescending sobs in Washington.

I think BOR’s last two shows were among his best, just when new viewers are coming in. The mainstream media is marginalized. Morris and Miller are fun to watch. The females in studio are over the top beauty and brains, especially Kelly.

Obama is in a tough spot. He dares not appear, but is foolish not to. BOR is center stage and the President can only look in from the outside like any spectator.
