FOX News’ Bret Baier Shows Why Obama Has Been Dodging FOX News
Breitbart News ^ | Mar. 18, 2010 | Archy Cary

Posted on 03/18/2010 9:15:41 AM PDT by Anita1

President Obama agreed to a FOX News interview in the 11th hour of his big push toward a healthcare bill in order to reach FOX’s audience of Democrats and Independents. A few of us wondered if the network would, in appreciation for the President temporarily lifting his embargo of FOX, stage a milk toast interview and lob softball questions. After all, when FOX’s Bill “I’m lookin’ out for the folks” O’Reilly finally landed an interview with candidate Obama, it was an innocuous non-event.

I just sent Bret an email thanking him. The only suggeestion I made was to have Obama go before the ‘panel’. Charles would have a field day!! :)

I used to think Brett was dumb, but he’s turned out pretty good. Or maybe he’s so dumb he didn’t realize he was making a career-limiting blunder by making O Bama squirm (and crawfish).

He also showed us what a totally inept in over his head impostor of a President looks like.

Even before this I was amazed at what a great job Brett Baier is doing. I thought he was too young for the job and was surprised when he was picked to take Brit Hume’s job. I thought Chris Wallace would get the job

All to the good and Brett made his bones last night and the Kenyan helped him do it. yuk yuk yuk

Nope. Bret’s a good troop.

He did an outstanding job last night.

The president was very, very angry and upset. My God, he doesn’t even know what’s in the bill!

It’s the prexy who’s dumb. And it showed.

Obama made a miscalculation. He equated well mannered and gracious with timid.

Needless to say he was soooooo wrong!

“Coming from a man who former Governor Mario Cuomo once described to Larry King as representing a “new kind of intelligence,” large parts of President Obama’s answers were… well, just flat-out unintelligible”

That's because “O” has the IQ of your average tree slug AND because he's an intellectual lightweight.

I'm surprised obammma actually agreed to allow to be interviewed by any responsible journalist at Fox. He did his best at filibustering the entire time, but got knocked off his game plan a number of times and had nothing to say but talking points. This guy showed whoever was seriously watching that he belongs back as the captain of the Titanic(if his plan passes, maybe he is)

The Obama / Baier Interview was the Fox News version of the CBS Palin / Couric Interview.

The only difference of course is that the Palin Interview was edited, while Obama’s didn't need to be edited.

When is Baier picking up his Award like Couric did?

Obummer, the Marxist now posing as a Fascist, demonstrated that he is still nothing more than a street mob organizer. A snake oil con man.

Instead of running for president maybe he should have gone for Billy Mays job as a ptichman.

The big one was when Obama said passing the Bill will reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars. Any reasonably competent interviewer would have addressed it. Brett didn't.

Makes you wonder if 0bama will be coming out sometime again soon to say that Fox News is not a legitimate news organization.

I could not bear to watch the interview, but I did see Brett promo it during Glenn Beck’s show yesterday. He looked flushed, excited, and happy! I wonder when it had been taped?
