What idiot let Obama go on O'Reilly? - Trackchampion Handicapping Contests For Horse Bettors

***Slew*** · 09-05-2008, 10:19 AM

Someone needs to be fired and they need to bring in Bobby Frankel because Obama was spotted very poorly agreeing to an interview with O'Reilly. Just in the "previews" he looked like he thought he was going to get Oprah or something and he got met with a firing line. Not really his fault he can't get a word in, but the nature of the interview is not the point -- WTF was he even doing there???? What does he possibly have to gain??? If he's stupid enough to agree to this what else is he capable of agreeing to??? I cringe over both of these guys, so this isn't a partisan opinion. I mean it really blows my mind.

There was nothing else in the condition book and they didnt want to ship to Oprah Park on short notice... It was just a prep, he didnt need to win it... just show some effort... He'd do much better on the fake ****... like Oprah.. etc...

If he didnt go on O'reilly, he'd have to listen to O'reilly calling him a chicken for not coming in LOL

its an excellent point

jballscalls · 09-05-2008, 12:14 PM

but if a politician is so great as many think Obama is, then why not face your detractors and answer their questions?? he has nothing to hide or be ashamed of....right??

i am not a fan of this guy

i think that he has plenty to hide and feels he has plenty to prove

he had to show how smart and tough he was all the while trying to show up mccain

a sign of insecurity

Breakage · 09-05-2008, 12:55 PM

I thought it was a free roll and a pretty good move when it was announced. He had some right wing idiots calling for a boycott of their only national voice.
Figured worst outcome he alienates people who would not vote for him anyway-best outcome he picks up voters with little to no risk.

I didn't see it, I guess it was a worse outcome?

Slew. I saw the interview and you're full of it....You're like a scorn woman. What are you folks afaid of...Let me rephrase it, what about Obama you're afraid of?

Breakage · 09-05-2008, 12:58 PM

IT would be a lot simpler to outline what people aren't afraid of maybe you can start.

cre8flow · 09-05-2008, 01:13 PM

didnt watch it last night
woke up at 5 am and the replay of the interview was starting and everything went fuzzy and the cable went out

watched slice of replay and it looked like oreilly was hitting him pretty hard

petespocketfull · 09-05-2008, 01:49 PM

dealing with oreilly is nothing wait till he starts dealing with pelosi and reid.

a democrat congress and a democrat president with no experience like obama is gonna end up a frkn nightmare. pelosi and reid are gonna steam roll obama and persuade him to their own agenda.

What part of the interview did you like? The part where he looked like the deer in the headlights, or the way that reporter easily bullied him into answering questions the way he wanted? Which part? I understand with editing and being on O'Reilly's home court is going to make him look like that......which is the reason I don't understand why he did it. He had nothing to gain only to look bad.

The days of fireside chats are gone. He isn't going into a fair fight going on O'Reilly. The fact that it's four segments spread out over a week, with a tease for each segment, should tell you what this about. It doesn't bother me, I know it's the world we live in. It actually bothers me Obama didn't seem to have considered that.

prospector · 09-05-2008, 10:51 PM

if he never went on oreilly, the arguement could..and would..be made "how could he deal with iran and russia if he's afraid to go on oreilly?" he had no choice...plus that's where the audience is..its not on msnbc or cnn anymore..besides hilary went on and survived just fine..

i personally think he hoped to take some steam from john's speech...i wonder if he knew the interview would be in 4 parts? brilliant whoever broke it into 4 parts..

mfactor · 09-09-2008, 09:14 PM

3rd part was good, I almost felt sorry for Barry.

fort erie pro · 09-09-2008, 09:34 PM

obama avoided o'reilly forever. he only agreed to the interview if it was done last thursday night, the night of mccains speech at the RNC. he hoped to steal a little stem. i guess the liberals weren't smart enough to realize the interview would air in small segments over many nights. as far as campaigning goes the republicans are like cigar and the dems are like a 5k maiden claimer at mountaineer. they have the entire media in their pocket and and american public that mostly hates the current administration yet they are now behind in the polls. doesn't even seem possible.

Didn't see any of it until just now. After reading your post, I went to Fox and watched part 3.

Why feel sorry? O'Reilly let him off the hook both times he couldn't answer. The "associations' can not be explained away.

It is amazing. But Dems have been pretty hard headed for a long time. A year ago it sure seemed like a foregone conclusion, even six months ago.

The only way they could lose was to nominate a candidate like this.

But by far the toughest interview Obama has had, name one right wing friend? Bbbbbbb

bbbbbumbling Barry couldn't do it. After seeing the lovefest from the msm it was nice to

see him squirm.
