Wow, Obama putting himself on TV before another sports event national championship? What's this, his 3rd or 4th time doing so?
He's a pretentious prick.

I like the POTUS making himself available.

Too bad he's as bad at executive decision making as he is good at political decision making.

negative there mike...

it's bills style...everyone know this including the POTUS.

billO only has 15 minutes...if bill doesn't interrupt...his interview would be one question and Obama would filibuster duck and dodge.

as I posted earlier...I think the interview was respectful...I also thought Pres. Obama was sincere and likeable.

btw...billO has no reason to go back to IE...as he has the #1 rated cable news show...even Obama noted that in the interview...

did you watch the interview? The whole interview?

Clearly you don't pay attention to the things that come out of the President's mouth.

"Bush's tax cuts for the rich which caused this recession" LMBO.

"We're going to freeze spending" (After we've run it up to unsustainable record high's my first 2 years in office with a Democratic Congress)

Hates the "limits the constitution places on government."

"Uh, um, uh, um, uh, um......."

I don't see that it was bad at all. O'Reilly had a list of questions to ask and was trying to stay focused and cover them all.

For two guys with such opposing views on so many things, I thought the interview was extremely civil, and O'Reilly also made it light at the end, which I thought was a good touch.

I'm neither an Obama nor an O'Reilly fan, but I didn't see either being an ass, nor O'Reilly showing disrespect. Yes, O'Reilly threw in some "zingers" before he moved to his next questions, but surely Obama knew exactly what to expect (ie to expect exactly that) going in.

In fact, from the times I have seen O'Reilly before (ie when Mark C5 is visiting ), I'd go as far as to say he was being pretty darn nice and respectful.

Oh, and I think it's pretty darn smart of Obama to put himself on tv when the most people are watching. That's just good marketing.

Obama is the President. He should be prepared and able to handle anything an interviewer throws at him. If not, maybe he shouldn't be in politics.

That's right, he's the President not the King or the Second Coming. If asked a question in an interview setting he should answer the question. If not the interviewer (if he's good) should hold him to task.

Nothing disrespectful about that.

Again, nothing disrespectful about that.

I didn't watch it. I saw that someone posted the interview so that we could watch it right here and then comment. I still didn't watch it.

Well, if the POTUS wants to dress down like the interview is between two guys-all bets are off.

If I wanted to see two tools together in the same room, I'd watch gay porn. But I don't.

I really do my best not to get involved in political debates since if you don't already agree with the person, nothing you say or do will ever change that.

on that note, Obama has provided proof of birth.
snopes.com: Barack Obama Birth Certificate

I'm not a supporter, I just feel people should know the facts. (provided by the internet, such as it is)
