Obama And Bill O'Reilly Just Had An Extremely Tense Pre-Super Bowl Interview
Business Insider ^ | February 2, 2014 | Brett LoGiurato

Posted on 02/02/2014 2:07:45 PM PST by CreviceTool

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."

That would have been a great question, because you know Obama wouldn’t have answered it, which would have been an answer in and of itself.

Also I’d like for O’reilly to have followed up on the “terror attack” question by saying “OK, let’s assume you’re right and no one knew for sure this was a terrorist attack. Who told Susan Rice to go on TV and say it was a spontaneous blah blah video blah blah blah? If you didn’t know for sure, how is it that SHE went on TV and said “here’s what happened”...?

If he refuses to say who told Rice to say that, then he’s admitting his people are just making stuff up on their own.

His weaknesses are that he’s a libertarian blowhard, but on the other hand, that’s probably what gave him the nerve to confront Obama. Such is life.

Or why BO continued to say it was the video in that speech to the UN about 10 days later. Why didn’t BOR ask him that?

Why does Fox and Rush and Hannity and Savage keep picking on me? Like the song Charlie Brown by the Drifters.

Just as I thought --- "I know you think maybe we haven't been fair," O'Reilly noted near the end of the live interview, "but I think your heart is in the right place."

Yep. What's the point? A liar lies - that's what they do. Obama us unfamiliar with the concept of "sacred honor" -

In frontier days, men like Obama were beaten and kicked to death in the street. In the jungle, in Vietmam, I suppose someone like Obama would have been executed by his own men. Obama fills his lungs today because of the secret service and armored vehicles.

I didn’t see any of it but appreciate all the analysis.

My questions would be, why oh why would 0bvmmer have done this interview?

Rush will cover this tomorrow. 0bvmmer must be so far down on his plan that he was desperate with his base perhaps?

BOR better have good tax lawyers, and, Roger Ailes better have lawyered up because H0lder will be coming after him.

I think it had to do with the Duck Dynasty thing. I no longer recall it precisely, but both BORe and Bernie Goldberg came across as totally condescending snots about it. I think they took A&E’s side IIRC.

I’ll bet Billy will be hearing from the IRS and Holder’s “Justus Department” real soon.

I kept looking through the posts, wondering when someone would finally say this, because it was the FIRST thing I thought of.

He was insufferable arguing with clergypersons while he was writing Killing Jesus. That said, it was a good read, unlike Killing Kennedy, which was a total waste of time.

Yep. That is EXACTLY how Zero works, he gets those records unsealed but nobody can touch his God forbid. If we had any Republicans with BALLS this POS would have been toast in 2007 before he even stepped one foot in the POTUS ring. Look at Herman Caine, all the crap they were squeezing out of the woodwork to destroy that guy yet to date not one person can submit proof that Zero graduated from ANY school the USA even though he is POTUS. Anyone please, show me one degree B. Hussein Obama Biden Laden ever got from any school in the USA. And don’t show me that BS “honorary doctorate” he got from the Marxists at Morehouse. Show me one degree he got before he was POTUS or even Senator, matter of fact show me even a report card, anything...Even a freakin’ 3rd grade report card! There is NONE because this bitch ass NEVER graduated from ANY school in the US.

Always turn the tv to another station when either one comes on, so why would I want to hear them now ?

For the reason I actually watched.Usually I do watch O'Blowhard, but NEVER O'Liar.
Since O'Blowhard jumped the shark with his $10 minimum wage is fair (in addition to the 300 federal welfare programs!) watching it was a win-win proposition.

Incidentally, I never contributed a question for O'Blowhard to ask, because it had no chance of being used :

Mr. President, for the sake of "the most transparent administration in US history," why did you eliminate the greatest tool for universal transparency which existed when you took office? It was a web site named "Expect More," and it rated every Federal program for effectiveness.
Obviously any program rated at less than 50% should have been eliminated long before now!

Expect More From Government

I would love to hear the First Liar hum and haw himself into some kind of an answer that didn't make him look like a bigger incompetent liar!
