Obama Says Fox News is Unfair to Him Because Reporters Ask About IRS Targeting, Benghazi
Townhall.com ^ | February 4, 2014 | Katie Pavlich

Last night Bill O'Reilly aired part two of his pre-Superbowl interview with President Obama (see part one here). In the first round of questioning, O'Reilly asked about Benghazi, Obamacare and the IRS. In the second round, O'Reilly asked the President if he thinks The Factor, and Fox News in general, are unfair to him and if so, how? After being repeatedly pressed for an answer, Obama cited questions about Obamacare, the IRS scandal and Benghazi as "unfair."

Obama: We just went through an interview in which you asked about Healthcare not working, the IRS being wholly corrupt and Benghazi, right, so the list of issues you like to talk about...
O'Reilly: But these are unanswered questions.
Obama: But they are defined by you guys in a certain way.

MUST-SEE: Part 2 of Bill O’Reilly’s Interview With President Obama

The silver lining of the interview came at the beginning when Obama and O'Reilly agreed that the breakdown of the family is destroying the future of children and the economy. Despite calling for the streamlining of construction jobs in last week's State of the Union Address, Obama pushed aside assumptions he will be green lighting the Keystone Pipeline project. A recent report showed the project won't have a negative impact on the environment.

Obama needs to deal with it. If he didn’t have anything to hide he wouldn’t be complaining. Don’t worry Barry, it’ll all come out at some point. Too many people know exactly what you are.

Obozo has a skin problem, it is too thin.
I knoew this Years ago when he told reporters that he didn’t like when they made fun of his ears and they backed right off. There was no doubt they would be his lap dogs.

He was supposed to use the traditional Obama question, “Just how wonderful is it to be you?”

My children defined ‘fairness’ in this way when they were about four?

Then they grew up.

Perhaps if he provided some believable answers and accepted responsibility and admitted the whole affair was a link in a chain to provide weapons to Syria....then it would just go away.

But then so would Obama.

Obama’s one and only skill is his ability to simultaneously dissemble, dodge responsibilityand, and blame others. Its his first instinct in every situation; always deflect criticism to someone or something else.

Obama's predictable whiny approach to what O'Reilly asked makes one thing clear. That would be that Obama would not have held up to a true constitutional conservative who knew the facts and could articulate our values. Can you imagaine what would've happened if Obama had to debate the likes of TedCruz or even Jeff Sessions in his runs for office?

This is Obama meltdown in an interview with O'Reilly, who isn't even the best conservative interviewer. Could you imagine what would happen if Ann Coulter on one of her real good days were asking the questions?

That is why I didn’t watch either interview. I deemed it useless. I knew Obama would not tell the truth about any of it. If he would have, we’d not have any questions now.

Too bad, Mr. President. There has been stories in the past about IRS abuses against political opponents, and your spokesperson Jay Carney confirmed just under a year ago, setting off a firestorm of controversy over the IRS' role in harassing Conservative-leaning 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) political groups.

One of the Articles of Impeachment against President Nixon in 1974 was his threatened use of the IRS to go after his political opponents; the fact it really DID happen under your watch, Mr. President, speaks volumes about your disdain of the law.

Oh boo hoo - it is not fair of the news media to ask the emperor questions that he has not been prepped for and loaded into his TOTUS.

That might be true, but Ann Coulter is a columnist, not a journalist.

Great difference.

I wonder if he thinks the press treatment of the Tea Party is fair?

You’ve got to ask? Of course he does, and he probably thinks they should have been treated much harsher than they were
