Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and President Barack Obama went back and forth for a tense 15 minutes Sunday afternoon, in a pre-Super Bowl interview that focused on the IRS, the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, and the rollout of the Affordable Care Act.
O'Reilly opened the interview by saying he wanted to get some things "on the record."

Oh good I missed it. I was hoping they might hyper each other into simultaneous coronaries, but I figured I could catch that on youtube later.
It’s a puzzle, how Obama knows Fox News’ take on every issue, when he always claims not to know anything about anything until somebody tells him about it.
Hi, 'pod.
What was his latest iteration of this particular thing? (He has been on probation or suspension in my house several times over time for the same.)
I watched the first five to ten minutes and had to switch channels.....OReilly may have asked several significant questions but he got no legitimate answers......and he knew that going in!
What a charade! Look, the bottom line is, you don't get an interview with the POS without first submitting the questions so as to allow the POS to carefully prepare his answers..........And you certainly don't have the opportunity to challenge the POS on the answers given....
This was nothing more than a publicity stunt by Oreilly and an escape by the white house to be able to claim that they grant interviews to FOX..........
What a frickin farce...........
Not getting answers because one does not ask follow up questions is playing it safe. of course dealing with Obama is like trying to nail jello to the wall. In fact, I think someone actually said that before.
Yes, Barry is a much better lier than Bill Clinton. I could watch Clinton’s eyes and tell when he was lieing. It was alot. Barry always looks the same even when I know he is lieing. I think that even when he tells the truth it is only for convenience so there is no difference to him.
Which one?
It is a given that the media I’ll not do its job. In fact I guarantee you that the media will gang up on BOR for being a bully.
Good for B0R. I refused to watch the first airing of it because his previous interviews were so lame. Not giving his ratings the hit. I’ll see this one on the net.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, nobody gets to interview the POS without first submitting the questions that are going to be asked. And the only questions asked are those that are approved by the POS.......That's why you will never see a bulldog approach by the interviewer demanding clarification of the POS's statements..........
I can’t stand the sight of him and certainly not his voice
Thank you for the link.
To this day, Obama still does not ‘own any of his troubles’.
The ‘Numerous Scandals’ are created by rightwingers, FoxNews, whatever.
All of them, he just learned the day before any scandal broke, and he had no idea how it happened or who in his admin was responsible.....
Valerie Jarrett won’t play the IRS game with O’Reilly..if BOR is smart, he probably follows Sean Hannity’s example and pays a little extra in income taxes and stays away from questionable investments, to minimize his problems during any audit (and I’m guessing he’s been audited several times since joining Fox).
Here’s how Zero will get even with O’Reilly...he’s currently going through a bitter divorce with his ex-wife, who was having an affair with a Long Island police detective. So far, all of the proceedings have been sealed, by order of the judge in the case. If Obama and the Dims have any dirt on O’Reilly, it will quickly make its way to his ex-wife’s divorce lawyer and the media. And of course, the source of the information will never be confirmed.
I messed up the time I guess. Now Fox is proving they can’t run a video server any better than the Gov’t can run a healthcare site. Wish they’d just put it on youtube where it would stream work a crap, so I can hear Obama lie and evade and be done with it.
So I guess it really was "O" to "O".
(Obama to O'Reilly)
“If he thought he would get to interview Obama again I’m sure he would not have pressed....”
The ONLY reason BOR got any interviews with O is because of Fox’s carrying the Super Bowl. If another network gets SB for the rest of O’s term, he won’t go near BOR.
More importantly, the SB’s for the remainder of O’s term are insignificant electorally. The only election that matters to/for O will be November ‘14. After that, it won’t matter and he won’t care. By SB in ‘15, the D’s will or will not have held the Senate and will or will not have taken the House.
I liked some of O’Reilly’s questions, but would have liked it if he asked Obama if he thought he would have been reelected if he didn’t lie about Ocare.
