It was "completely inappropriate" for Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly to ask President Obama about the people who "hate" him, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday.
Pelosi said O'Reilly's question, during an interview before Sunday's Super Bowl, made her wince upon hearing it again on Monday.
"Just seeing it again ... I thought was a completely inappropriate question, of course beautifully handled by the president," Pelosi told host Gayle King on the Oprah Radio network.
"To hear this used in the presence of the president of the United States — I think we all have to recognize that while we disagree with people, and may think that they are wrong," the word "hate" should never be used, Pelosi said.
O'Reilly's question has been one of the most replayed on Monday.
"Does it disturb you that so many people hate you?" O'Reilly asked Obama.
"The people who dislike you don't know you," Obama responded. "The folks who hate you don't know you; what they hate is whatever funhouse mirror image of you is out there."
The interview was a coup for the Fox host and his network, which has sparred sometimes with the Obama administration and earned public enmity from the president at times during the last two years.
Obama's interview, broadcast on Fox, was his third straight year of doing a pre-Super Bowl interview. He sat for an interview with CBS last year, and NBC the year before that.
Pelosi said it was her preference that the word "hate" never be used in a political context.

But of course, one can never talk in this manner to absolute monarchs, tyrants and various other despots.
He asked Bozo why some people hate him. BOR appeared to be trying out to pitch in next years Home Run Derby.
Pelosi ~ the very image of Hate in modern times ~ no wonder she doesn’t want the word mentioned.
It's almost physically painful for me to watch what passes for a president in this country.
Still ticked he bumped A Charlie Brown Christmas in 2009 to give a speech on Afghanistan. Nice for him to remove a Christian message from children’s lives. Bet he wouldn’t have bumped a muslim story.
But to see how he really feels about our military in Afghanistan, read the link below to see how during a meeting on Afghanistan and several soldiers who died, he walks in laughing, laughs during the meeting and leaves laughing. He is disgusting and has to be mentally ill.
Of course he was. Obama would never do an unscripted interview.
Then she obviously condemns this too. Oh, wait, nevermind.

Hey Nancy!
America prefers to have somebody who doesn’t support killing babies, determine which behavior is and is NOT “appropriate”!
Is this that ugly old skin-stretched “lady” that used to be important?
Why does she think anyone cares what she says anymore?
What is a “Pelosi”?
Wow, it’s good for O’Reilly that he didn’t ask the question about being a lying Kenyan Marxists bent on destroying American, then...
afailedexspeakersayswhat?
She has always been a Idiot,Look at the Party she represents!
Inappropriate?
How about the fraud being asked a question about his dual citizenship when he was born and why didn’t he produce a Birth Certificate that looks like everyone elses?
Or just show us the one he found among his mother’s belongings upon her passing?
Barry was obviously primed for the question, although a flake like him really does think that to know him is to love him. He has a lot of RINOs in his pocket to support that bit of narcissism.
