If only the Obama campaign would talk this tough about people like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad . . .
Appearing on today's Morning Joe, Robert Gibbs, the communications director of the Obama campaign, called Bill O'Reilly a "bully," and vowed the campaign would "go directly at him."
View video here.
DAVID SHUSTER: I've got a question. I want to help out Willie [Geist] here. You've seen this Bill O'Reilly meltdown thing [bad language alert], right? I mean, what did you think about it, and has that made the Obama campaign more or less likely to accept O'Reilly's invitation to go on his show?
ROBERT GIBBS: Well, Iobviously
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Health care. Just talk health care.
GIBBS: You want me to weave health care into this?
BRZEZINSKI: Robert Gibbs, just do it live [echoing O'Reilly from his meltdown]. Okay, just do it live. Go ahead. Give the answer.
GIBBS: Look, I thinklook, I think at some point we will go on Bill O'Reilly's show, despite the fact thatyou saw video earlier this year of Bill trying to get into a fight with Marvin Nicholson, a staffer that travels with Senator Obama on the road. Look, I think the best way to go about a bully is to go directly at him, and I think that's something that we'll clearly do.

Maybe he should send his wife to do the hard stuff.
Obama is too big of a coward to go on a cable news show, yet he espouses to be capable of leading the United States? If you can’t sustain a verbal parry with O’Reilly, how will he fare with an intelligent world leader? O’Reilly was a cupcake for Hillary.
Bill O’Rielly has been suck’in up to Barama for two months now , hoping for an interview and it’s makin me sick to watch it sometimes . Some of B.Os. viewers have written him letters asking him why he supports Barama , because he is so generous to not attack him on anything . I really don’t think he will do an interview with B.O. unless and until he wins the office and then only to gloat . Bill wise up .
Exactly...
Awww, sheesh. Anything to fill air time. Shuster is such a lightweight. I’m glad he’s no longer at Fox.
