Obama On O'Reilly: "Looking Forward" To Going On The Factor

Is Obama headed to the O'Reilly Factor? It sure sounds like it, according to his interview this morning on Fox and Friends, where he claimed: "We're gonna see if we can fit it in." Of course, the last time he tried to make time for a Fox interview with Chris Wallace, it took two years for him to get there. Here's hoping for another 2-year wait.

I would support such an event only if O'Reilly agreed to a "Wright-free" discourse. Sorry, I forgot myself, this is the Fox network and that would never happen!

[UnbiasView]

O'Reilly said last night he would only ask 2 questions on Wright . . . Obama himself said it was an issue so I don't see why it wouldn't be fair game.

[transendentilist]

Gee, Hillary nearly got crucified here, for being on O'rally's show.

[ramal]

Big mistake on his part. If Obama becomes the nominee this will be only the beginnng of the swift boating of him.

[UnbiasView]

Obama has allowed his pastor to swift boat himself, if Obama would have used any common sense 10 years ago like Oprah this wouldn't be an issue and he would be flying high right now.

[DaisyMiller]

he got a bit of a stutter in there - good luck with O'Reilly!
Hillary didn't say um or er once.

Gosh the "progressives" didn't like it when HIllary did it ...
but they think it's great when Obama imitates it.

Hillary is the leader, the brilliant, friendly, efficient, effective natural leader.

[IM2THEPOINT]

Hillary, the brilliant, disingenious, efficient, effective natural liar.

[transendentilist]

Obamians never heard of the term, "double standard." They never heard of the term, "proof," either

[Tages72]

Love or hate either man, it's win-win situation for both. O'Reilly gets the ratings and Obama gets the votes. Both sides will claim that their guy won and the other got trounced.

It should prove to be interesting viewing, in any case.

[ObserverinVancouver]

Bill O'Reilly is almost certain to say something so stupid that it will give Sen. Obama a chance to knock him back on his heels. He can't take a good swipe at Hillary because the optics would be horrible. He probably can't distance himself much further from Rev. Wright. He's always honouring Sen. McCain's service to country. But there doesn't seem to me any reason why he should cater to O'Reilly's delicate sensibilities.

[IslandGyal]

Senator Obama is 33 contributors away from 1,500,000.

[UnbiasView]

And that means what?

A whole lot of people donated to a multi-millionaire?

[barackobama4prez]

No. Hillary hasn't received that much in donations lol

This is the beginning of the end for over-the-hill clinton. for those of you who want to eulogize her, here's your chance.

The real reason why Obama is looking forward to appearing on the O'Reilly Factor is because he feels that he can still come out ahead and look good. With the great wave of support behind him, he has no fear of losing his popularity by appearing on the O'Reilly show. If he doesn't appear, it would look bad for him. If he appears, his lead is so large that a loss, small loss, will not affect him.

If the media continues to coddle Obama, he will become our next President. If the Press tells the truth and does a well documented and truthful expose on Barack Obama continually, he will not survive and Hillary will be our next President!

Hillary is better for our nation, due to Obama's lack of integrity (Hillary has more integrity) and his willingness to be stubborn in the face of adversity in situations where he should yield!

I fully and firmly stand by my words as the political negotiator, who negotiated and secured Saddam's surrender in the Fall of 1990.

[robertLewis]

you have it exactly backwards. sen clinton is a liar and a panderer. she has no integrity whatsoever.

[kipmartin]

pics or it didnt happen.

[Sabreen60]

Coddle!!?? ROTFLMAO. You must be receiving news programs and talk shows from Mars.

Below are links to the "Clinton Chronicles". The first is a link to an hour-long video. The second is a link to the video divided up into 11 individual videos.

I am sending this (I am sure you probably have this information, but have refused to share it with the public), not because I have anything against Hillary Clinton (even though I have been very displeased with her dirty tactics in this campaign).

I am sending it because Barack Obama has been so kind that he has chosen not to exploit the Clinton's dirty laundry, which they have plenty of.

While really like Bill Clinton when he was president, and Hillary says he will not run the Whitehouse, I know that he will be very influential, and will use the position for his own personal gain if she were to become Commander and Chief. In addition, Hillary has been involved in some of these dealings personally.

We have exploited the Rev. Wright issue so much against Senator Obama and refuse to let it go. Let's be fair and expose the Clinton's as well. The things that have happened before and after their tenure in the Whitehouse are dispicable. The public needs to know what they are in for again.

[jplass]

"his willingness to be stubborn in the face of adversity in situations where he should yield!"

Hmm...... which candidate is this you are talking about?

"I fully and firmly stand by my words as the political negotiator, who negotiated and secured Saddam's surrender in the Fall of 1990."

I think your argument would be better suited if you offered FACTS or any sort of EVIDENCE to back it, rather than some obscure claim of having some sort of authoritative viewpoint.

[windyindie41]

Are you kidding me? You have the nerve to post this kind if article, completely devoid of any examples or objectivity? First off, the "media" has been doing nothing but spewing "controversy" after "controversy" about Obama since the end of Febuary, and he has received FAR more negative press then either Hillary or McCain. As for him not "surviving" however, this has clearly been the opposite of what's transpired, as Obama support has remain steady and strong.

And then you say this: "Hillary is better for our nation, due to Obama's lack of integrity (Hillary has more integrity) and his willingness to be stubborn in the face of adversity in situations where he should yield!" GIVE SOME EXAMPLES! Make an actual case, instead of this fifth grade name calling. I'll give you some real examples: Hillary has shown "integrity" by resorting to right-wing smear tactics (a woman worth over $100 million calling Obama "elitist") and pandering (gas tax holiday).

[PennP]

I think "integrity" means "hair" in lchowese.

Obama '08

Yes we can!

[sethyeah]

I hope he doesn't do it. Can you imagine Abraham Lincoln or other great presidents in history giving credence to the low-brow sensationalist media we have today (the most putrid bunch being Fox News). I was disappointed when he initially gave them credence by appearing with smirking assbag Chris Wallace, rather than pointing out that any legitimate press would not play the childish "Obama Watch" game. They are despicable tabloid-level trolls. Why doesn't he just go on the Jerry Springer show and try to talk sense to the idiots on there? He should not go on The Factor simply because O'Reilly a despicable person who runs a farce of a news show to which no intelligent politician should ever pander.

I would expect as much from Hillary; in addition to sounding more and more Republican lately, she has always deepest represented the hypocritical sleaze element of this presidential campaign; she fit right in there. This is disappointing, though, coming from Barack Obama. You know he's just going to get reamed with a bunch of condescending insults and he'll have to put on a happy face, trying to give reasonable responses to unreasonable points so he doesn't appear "angry"-- while being completely ignored. It's not worth it.

Then again, maybe if he talks to those very bad people at Fox more often, they'll stop being such dicks to him like they've done for Hillary.

[Oldtt]

The operative part of your comment is: "You know he's just going to get reamed ..".

[PennP]

But seriously, don't you think it might help to defray the idiotic "elitist" label?

[queensboro]

didn't say he would he said lets see if we can make it happen

[chumleypotts]

He gave the standard politician's response, "We're looking forward to appearing on O'Reilly, if it can be worked in". But as I recall, Dems vowed NOT to EVER appear on Fox, come hell or high water. They were too proud to stoop that low. Since both Hillary and Dean have gone back on that vow, Obama now MUST do it. So much for standing on principles.

[DrDemon]

Oh, Is It Wrong?

[nellie]

I would really hate to see him talk to O'Reilly. That man is vile.

[queensboro]

i think its so funny when people voice their votes through race and not common sense thats why this place is so screwed up

[DrDemon]

Didn't Murdoch form FOX for the Repugnicans?

But then I just read this and was sorta taken by suprise,,,

"Mr. Murdoch may be best known in the this country as the man who created Fox News as a counterweight to what he saw as a liberal bias in the news media. But he has often set aside his conservative ideology in pursuit of his business interests. In recent years, he has spread campaign contributions across both sides of the political aisle and nurtured relationships with the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton".

[kipmartin]

that took you by surprise? its sound business to give money to the enemy. keeps em quiet. especially when they are in debt.

[pupbayer]

Let's not forget that the NY Post, owned by Murdoch, has endorsed Obama and Murdoch's daughter held a fundraiser for Obama in London, England (yes, on foreign soil).

[DaisyMiller]

they've long wanted Obama to win the Dem primary since they figured he be such a lightweight in the General.

[ResidentChimp]

Obama is getting desperate. He has gone against his marxist base and has to go hat in hand to Bill O'Reilly to get votes.

[queensboro]

quit mokeying around!

TO ALL THE VOTERS:
Since the media is refusing to reveal/report the Paul vs Clinton fraud case in court right now, we need to create our own movement and flood every blog on CNN and every blogging website on the World Wide Web with information from the case regardless of what the topic is. For those that don't know - Google Paul vs Clinton and hold on to your shirt with what you read!!
For those of you who think this case has been thrown out or is irrelevant:
"In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25, 2008 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November paulvclinton.comvclinton.com)
Here is the kicker - the judge is a Bill Clinton appointee!

[ThatBKChick]

I've been blogging this point and emailing Politico.com as well as HuffPo! If this was Obama, it would be all over the place. The significance of this case is essential because it raises the questions of the legality of HRC's rise to power...it was all based on LIES! LIES AND MORE LIES! This sort of judicial court black-balling and pandering to the Clinton's are typical traits of the current administration! I am so sick of the Clinton's.
The prophecy is that the Clintons will disenfranchise Black voters as they have been at the expense of pandering to independents and moderate dems...we will also lose the millions of Generation Y's and the end of Gen Z's who for once feel empowered to vote because of Obama.

The Clinton's main goal is to "bloody Obama up for the GOP" so that McCain will win and be a one term President for Hillary to run in 2012. It's sickening to see that they are willing to do this to one of their own and the potential to have a great man in office since Bobby Kennedy, who happens to be an African American. Yes Obama has his flaws and is not perfect, but nor where the Kennedy's. If all the GOP have on Obama is Rev Wright, A Flag Pin and his bitter comments..­..then WTF is this country coming to....cons­idering the dirty laundry that the Clinton's bring with them to the White House again...AN­D AGAIN!

[sandiaview]

What is a Marxist? Do you really know or are you babbling about a word that you heard? Become informed and stop showing how our poor school systems and sad parenting skills are leading the U.S. to the basement of the World.

[RevChristineGlover]

This has been circulated for some time. It has been sent (by me personally) to every news media on line. I believe there is a gag order on this case. That is why they are not talking about it and also, they deliberately are not calling for HIllary to testify until November. Isn't that smart? If she wins the White House (and I don't think she will), She will start her position off as commander and chief by going to trial for campaign fraud. Go figure.

See my post above about the Clinton Chronicles to get some real background on the Clinton political corruption. This has also been forwarded to the news media.

[chumleypotts]

I personally think BO is the most arrogant, condescending charlatan on the face of the planet, and I find it astonishing that he has tricked so many into following him and believing his deceitful lies. No wonder so many of my family and friends cannot tolerate this snake of a man. I look forward to the day when he fades into obscurity .

[JavaCityGal]

My suggestion to you is to start filling out immigration papers for Canada because he's going to be our next President, and I will do everything in my power to help that.

These FOX people are so creepy. FOX is all about FOX.

"nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change"--Barack Obama 01/08

[Oldtt]

He must need more money to help out a few more superdelegates' campaign funds. Either that or to buy some newspapers in pending primary states to ensure their endorsements. Seriously, why on earth does he think he needs more money other than to buy the nomination. He can already outspend Clinton 3:1 on ads and foot soldiers, and there are only a handful of primaries left. This campaign really puts the last nail in the coffin for campaign finance reform as far as public financing is concerned. From now on, anyone who wants to run for President better have $200M to get in the game.
