Obama To Appear On O'Reilly (FOX) Tonight!
Politico ^ | 9-2-08- | Politico-Ben Smith

Posted on 09/02/2008 5:31:27 PM PDT by tcrlaf

Senator Barack Obama will appear on Fox News' "O'Reilly Factor" tonight, a Democratic source tells Politico.

The move is timed to counterprogram the Republican National Convention, which is likely to drive Fox's ratings sky-high and to give Obama access to a conservative audience.

It's Obama's first appearance on the widely viewed cable show, and is a sign of what Vanity Fair today reported is a "tentative truce" between Obama and News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch.

Obama clashed with Fox News during the primary after it aired early reports suggesting he had been a Muslim in Indonesia. The relationship warmed in May, however, when he appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and told its host, Chris Wallace, that he was "looking forward" to appearing on "The O'Reilly Factor."

If it were true and apparently it is not, I don’t think I would want to see it. BOR has been giving the Fraud way too much slack and probably would kiss his smelly ass and not grill him. Hannity on the other hand would make him look like the jackass that he is, which is why he has not and will not accept the Hannity challenge.

Politico posted this at 8:16PM eastern time, so I imagine it’s VERY last Minute!

Obama said his tv is always on HGTV, so perhaps that’s where he’ll surface.
Discussing paint colors and fabric swatches.
And asking if his yellow stripe makes him look washed out.
Or if smoking crack makes him look effeminate.

I just turned it off, too. Basically it’s been BOR tsk-tsking over the Bristol Palin coverage...while talking nonstop about Bristol Palin. Get off it, O’Bloviator.

Since Obama has campaign staffers that post on KOS and DU ask him if he will fire them?

I agree! Especially shep - the drama queen of katrina - one of the main problems of that event.

Yeah... good luck with that. O'Reilly is more likely to cozy up to the snob and offer him a nice loofah.
