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

Posted on 02/04/2014 5:48:00 AM PST by Kaslin

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.

He remains a little child, has to have his way, no regard for results.

We know that thanks to gullible RINOs Boehner and McConnell,

Sooner or later we will have to acknowledge that gullible is not the right word to describe these traitors. They are complicit.

If your plan to fundamentally transform the United States of America had any real value, you wouldn’t have to lie about it.

Think about this when you sleep at night.

..."surprise" words when describing Obama's actions and inaction.

LOL. I'm reminded of friend on the other side of the country frequently exclaiming how shocked she is at the height of her two grandsons. Junior high and they are 6'2" and 6'3". I wondered how many times she could be shocked!

I get your point though I expect that many people have no new words to describe their exasperation with this lying, unfit person in our White House. The arrogance and the lies never end!

Thanks for seeing Obama as the evil that he is.

My main point was that the sooner we stop being surprised, the sooner we will accept the fact that Obama meant what he said when he pledged: “We are five days away from Fundamentally Changing the United States of America.”

The evidence of what “Fundamentally Changing” meant to Obama then was that he, Jarrett, Axelrod and Bill Ayres would make the USA a Neo-Communist Nation.

Contrast that with idiot, sappy RINOs such as Boehner and McConnell that still believe that they “can work with” Obama.

The sooner we drop the hope for change, and accept the fact that Obama is a dyed in the wool Communist intent on the destruction of our Constitution, the sooner we can begin to Impeach Obama.

Glad for Fox News, at least they are doing their job unlike ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN who are buddy/buddy with the gov’t views. News orgs need to question and dig in so as to keep the gov’t folks in line instead of doing things that are bad like political correctness.

...the sooner we can begin to Impeach Obama.

The Republicans now in Congress don't look like they're headed in that direction. What other crimes does this destructive piece of work have to commit for Congress to say "Enough!"?

Sure, I'd love to sit back and enjoy watching him be punished, yet Clinton skated through this and we still can't get rid of him. Will we see him back in the White House again? So, so many stupid Americans, and we all pay the price.

In regard to Obama saying he would fundamentally change the USA, he flat out denied it to O'Reilly and the nation. Lying is as normal to him as breathing.

Graewoulf:" We know that thanks to gullible RINOs Boehner and McConnell, Obama has been very successful
in “Fundamentally transforming the United States of America” into a Neo-Communist Nation. "

I put Boehner , McConnell , and Rove ( the Demorat trojan horse) in the same catagory ,
I consider them as Rhino's who are more concerned with maintaining power and influence
than concerned with the fate and freedoms of America .

“Romneycare” Romney’s loss in 2012 for POTUS saved Rove from TV obscurity.

Rove has more power and requests for TV face-time when the RINOs lose, and lose big.

The reason is that most low information Republican voters do not understand that the dominant RINO Wing of the Republican Party has LOST every battle with the Commie Obamacrats from McCain’s defeat in 2008 until now, BECAUSE of the failed RINO Political Philosophy.

IOW, as long as the low information Republican voters support the failed RINO Wing of the Republican Party, the Commie Obamacrats will continue to very easily “Fundamentally change the United States of America” into the Neo-Communist Utopia that Obama, the Democrats, and the Leftstream Media want.

We Republican Conservatives thus willfully tolerate our sorry RINO Congressional Leaders at our peril, and the peril of our Republic !

The Neo-Democrat sub-wing of the Dominant RINO Wing have been conned into the believing that the only way to compete with the Liberal Democrats is to become more Liberal in the false hope of capturing part of the Liberal Democrat’s voter base.

The result has been to expel the Conservative base from the Republican Party.

Boehner and McConnell have chosen to become Obamacrat RINOs, because they know that they will never be able to win any battles that Obama, Reid and Pelosi have designed,

IOW, “If you can’t beat them, join them.”

Their RINO goal now is as follows: “ Get something done, because ‘The American People’ want us to get something done.”

To the great glee of Obama, this RINO false circular reasoning makes sense only to RINOs, Democrats, and the low information voter.

A Conservative Language restatement, (IMHO, of course), of the above failed RINO Political Philosophy in Conservative language is as follows:
* always cave in to ‘your best friends across the aisle’,
* make illegal Congressional bypass ‘deals’ with the administration,
* never appoint House Special Prosecutors to investigate any violation of the Constitution,
* avoid standing on Principle,
* propose and support spending continuing resolutions,
* oppose Conservative filibusters,
* bad-mouth the TEA Party Wing of the Republican Party,
* and above all, ‘do something, even if it is wrong!’

The 2013 RINO Cave In by Boehner and McConnell during and after the Reid-Obama partial shutdown of the Federal Government last Fall sealed the final approval of Commie Obamacare.

Thus, Obamacare became the Litmus Test for the RINO Wing of the Republican Party.

The “Hold your nose when you vote and hope for the best” old argument that states:
“It is better to have a RINO Republican in Congress who will always cave in to the Democrats than it is to have a Democrat in Congress” is now subject to scrutiny by the impact of first FIVE YEARS of evidence from our Obamacrat Democrats and Cave In Obamacrat RINO Republicans.

What say all of you?

My hope is that the RINOs will cooperate with us if we put more conservatives in Congress, but I have to admit their track record isn’t very good. I blame that on us, because we haven’t done a very good job of demanding party loyalty. McCain is an excellent example. He’s constantly working against us, but he keeps getting reelected. It’s utter futility to demand loyalty if we can’t back that up with making them pay when they sell us out. We have to vote more of them out of office in order to teach the rest to behave.

I also hope the RINOs eventually learn their political philosophy simply doesn’t work. A party cannot win by directing most of its efforts at the mushy middle. You have to get every last one of your loyal supporters to the polls. That’s paramount. You cannot win with an apathetic base, even if you manage to pull in a few more moderates. Unfortunately, the RINOs haven’t given us any indication that they’ve learned from their previous failed attempts.

It’s up to us conservatives to save the moderates from themselves, because we aren’t going to have any moderation whatsoever when Democrats win.

” - - - - It’s up to us conservatives to save the moderates from themselves, - - - “

Any ideas on how we do that?

Moderates always seem to avoid any clear cut stand on anything of importance to our Republic.

Hence, whatever we do, they will crawfish to the middle of the road.

“Neo” means “new”. There is nothing “new” about communist utopias, nor their espousal by tyrant-wannabees.

What is missing in all this is truly missing: no conservative message. Without a conservative message, meant to bind people together, conservatives have no means to attract voters.

Thanks for the correction on Neo !

If a Conservative conserves, then who amongst our various wings in the Republican Party is extolling the virtues of effectively conserving our Constitution and other core American Ideals?

Senators Cruz, Lee and sometimes Paul come to mind - - - .

I find little evidence that any RINO is trying to conserve much of anything, except his/her seat at the taxpayer funded Congressional feeding trough.

Seems like the IRS hearing is breaking new ground today based on Obama’s comments in the interview.

At present, our communities are besieged by crime, especially in large cities and in minority communities. No one is addressing this situation, why it is happening nor what can be done to stop it.

I have for the past three years repeatedly brought this subject up on Free Republic, and pointed out that NO ONE is addressing it on the national level. It is a problem of importance, and conservatives aren’t dealing with it.

Crime and lack of Justice would be a subject that attracts voters. It is a Constitutional issue and impacts all of us where we live.

Well said.

Our Society has a difficult time holding anyone accountable for their actions.

Our Society has an even more difficult time punishing people.

The current Societal “ Punishment” motto is: “Oh dear me! Whatever shall we do? We must pass a new Regulation to make sure that this terrible crime NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.”

Well, I’m partial to Reagan’s 80/20 rule. That said, the RINOs would have to improve substantially to even make 50/50.
