VIDEO: Obama on the Billo the Clown Show
By GottaLaff
And here is some reaction:A new RNC attack file contends Obama offered “conflicting threat assessments on Iran” based on “his interview with Bill O’Reilly.”
Some Democrats were also concerned about the Obama-O’Reilly exchange on Iraq. “Instead of presenting a clear definition of how he will realize the promise of change after eight failed years of George Bush, [Obama] blurred the distinction between himself and John McCain on Iraq,” lamented a former aide to Chris Dodd, who thrilled liberal Fox critics in a more combative exchange with O’Reilly during the Democratic primary last year.
“He gave up his greatest strength - opposition to the Iraq War - on O’Reilly’s show,” the operative continued. “If Obama’s lucky, he gained enough new Fox-watching supporters to make up for the Democrats he just alienated.” [...]
Robert Greenwald [...] emailed a new video to supporters today. In it, he criticized Fox’s unbalanced treatment of Democratic politicians:
O’Reilly needled and interrupted Obama, trying to get him to simplify many of his answers — a far cry from the softballs O’Reilly lobbed at many prominent Republicans like Rudy Giuliani in the past.

Get a Grip
I saw both Obama interviews last night (Olbermann's and O'Reilly's). "Bill-0 the Clown" won hands down - No question about it. When is MSNBC going to stop "kissin' up" to their preferred candidates and ask ALL contenders the tough questions that need answering? That would be "Fair and Balanced". O'Reilly was definitely in his usual form, but Obama stood up very well. THAT was an interview for the books. Olbermann, I wish there were some nice way to critique your interview, but there isn't. You Sucked. What show were the rest of you watching???
