Barack Obama might as well do an infomercial for the Jerome Corsi penned hit piece, "Obama Nation." Or so says Bill O'Reilly, who has been on the warpath against the Democratic candidate since Obama "looked (Bill) in the eye and said he would come on the Factor."
O'Reilly claims that Barack Obama is boosting the sales of Obama Nation, the number one book on this week's New York Times bestseller list, because he won't come on The Factor.
With "not facing the hard questions," O'Reilly code for "not coming on my show," Bill says that people who have not yet made a decision, are being forced to buy the Corsi book to learn who Obama is.
He says it's the only way he can find out anything about Obama. Odd, coming from Fox News's "quarterback" who broke the Reverend Wright story only a mere eight months after Sean Hannity broke it. Or maybe Bill is still upset over Sean's ability to have George Stephanopoulos ask about Wright during the ABC debate. Or is it Sean's $100 million plus radio contract? We may never know why, but his constant talking point has been that no one knows anything about Obama, even though Bill's admitted "cracked research team" is always at the ready to get the Folks™ the real story.
It would be laughable if it wasn't for the fact that there are actually folks who...READ THE REST OF THE STORY HERE.

is that the best argument,? From a person that is runing for the White House? There is no way to be in a school-yard, you stone my rock... There are many that won't vote for him, is not the purpose of interviews with media larger than those of CNN? He will be preaching to a possible new voters, why would he be afraid to tell the truth? Mrs. Clinton did the O'reilly show and she did well, and she was liked more after that,... People that don't like you, maybe is because they don't know you... Don't we say also, if you have it, flunt it? I think we need to be more assertive of what we are, not run away from it, unless we are fake... My opinion.... of course, I try to get the bull by the horns... Or maybe don't get in the rink... right?
UGH..........who the heck would want to go on the BILLO's show. I'd rather have pins put in my eyes.
..You all know what Snoop Dogg's gonna say..
Dogg's got three nice phrases for O'reilly..Find them on YouTube.
May not be a bad strategy if Obama let's this clown take shot after shot at him over the next month or two. Then go ahead on the show with every intention of making the entire interview about the idiocy of oreilly's ignorance. oreilly's audience will never vote for Obama, so there's no need to try to sway them.
