I wonder how many of them will ask about Obama telling Patterson not to run for Gov. of NY???

Naaa that would be racist.

[Alas Babylon!]

The Sunday Talk Show thread is up. YOU LIE is on all but FNS!

[MNJohnnie]

That is the ticket 0, keep talking. This massive “health care” PR blitz is working so well for you.

Opposition to Health Care Plan Hits New High of 56%

Morning, AB, thanks again for the thread!

What a stunning diversity on the guest lists today.

[animal172]

At least I can watch Fox and not have to look at The One.

[MNJohnnie]

1st question.

Mr President, you have stated that you do not believe the opposition to you is based on race. Do you not think, as President of all Americans, you have an obligation to publicly rebuke those in your own party who are pushing these fraudulent accusations of racism?

[mware]

Good question but ain't going to happen.

My guess who will be the hardest interviewer, George Stuffanoctopus.

Dems find what Obama wants on healthcare still anything but clear (Hussein has no plan)

the president’s message was still muddled

He has given about 29 major speeches on health care insurance reform, and he still can't give a clear, concise message -- even with a teleprompter and a staff of advisers and speech writers.

tsk tsk tsk

[Causes one to wonder what the actual value of an Affirmative Action Harvard education is.]

Fox is actually going to get the best interview. with the CEO of Acorn. Chris is in no mood to coddle anyone.

[Laverne]

CNN explaining how they were called by the WH for this interview. Explaining all the rules under which they had to abide to interview the President. They didn’t say they were limited to a set of questions, that they had to provide in advance of the interview. It wouldn’t surprise me if indeed the President mandated that as well.

Five Sunday show appearances, and I would bet we learn NOTHING new, and I would bet the same questions were asked by each individual who interviewed him.

The WH apparently is claiming that Fox didn’t get an interview because they didn’t carry him joint session speech. What a baby — Wallace is correct. If the dear Leader can’t get everyone to bow and cowtow to him, he will shun them. Could you imagine if Bush had done that, he would never have appeared on any network.

[Vaquero]

for the tiny bit of information these pun-idiots (most, not all) have to offer me....I will wait for the readers digest version either here or on Fox news tomorrow...

(I really need to stop yelling at the screen...at least thats my wife beef.)

FOX has four presidents! The other guys only have one, and not even a good one. LOL

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Right. Hey everyone look at the hard Leftist who faked everyone out with “uniter” garbage.

[Girlene]

LOL....Maybe Chris Wallace will restart the “Obama Watch” with the obvious snub by obama. The interview with the ACORN leader sounds promising!

[TomGuy]

Chris is in no mood to coddle anyone.

Maybe Glen Beck is having significant influence 'within'.

He did more real investigative journalism during his short tenure with FoxNews than most journalists from all of the other news bureaus combined.

When someone as prominent as Charlie Gibson, ABC Nightly News anchor, says he knew nothing about thousands upon thousands marching on Washington, he is ignorant or lying.

Most news bureaus and most of their members have become PR representatives, rather than journalists. Beck is correct -- they have become the fringe media. Maybe some will be embarrassed enough to try to be real journalists.
