Look, Obama doesn't need to placate you or any of the other haters. You will never approve of him no matter what he does. Why should even bother with people like you or the person who asked that bulls**t question?

All that is needed is imagining a real expert conversationalist similar to William Buckley

a) preparing the important talk
b) managing for some constructive flow and purpose.

and you would know that,

a) it is a waste of time to bother watching
b) probably more about ratings or a book & att then anything else.

with the show we know the interview is irrational. we know this, so what was it really all about to begin with ?

answer :

what was the interview-show with J stewart all about ?
O'Reilly likes to exalt himself. That's mainly what it's about. He dared to question the president, which is news in itself because the media never holds Obama accountable.

However, no real solutions nor answers. It was nice to watch Obama's 'how dare you question me' look that flashes across his face when no one is slobbering over his answers, though.

And yet if Obama had refused to talk with O'Reilly, you'd be b**ching about that instead.

Why would Obama refuse to talk to Oreilly, its a dream come true, he is not a top thinker or has any Ed that really amounts to anything alongside a career, unless you want to count , be quiet, go to the corner and put gum on your nose .Hes not a finance guy, a history guy, a legal guy - a solid career ( compare to a pro on that -N Ferguson for easy example) Its all about books and ratings. The whole thing is a presentation snow job. The hiraldo guy, same thing, the career is show..a curtain. There is no career. Career's develop, the milkman has a career. You can't fake the value of a career for a premise in retrospective. There is no foundation for the perspective because all it is, is always perspective alone, and a guess at the peoples for entertainment. Always guessing what the value in premise for retrospect relative to the individual would inspire, in order to relate, in order to get ratings and out of order for it. Fanatic news style reporting loaded to invoke emotion without question disordered and will do nothing but propagate anti-unity regardless. Its the biggest flaw right now.

Its a suggestion of chaos, I am in chaos, >you are in chaos. > you exist in chaos > you will behave chaotic. Propagating depression.
hmm
there are rules in life that no two legged creature made up.

* a population cannot trust a news source which demonstrates emotion alongside news and controversial politics because all they are telling is there is great reason for bias, and in-deed have bias.....so how can they claim to report & translate sort out, make decisions for the news in an un-biased way, that is the problem.Watching clips of Walter Concrite had it right,

and thats how it is.

I thought, considering the short time he had to interview the President he did a good job. Obviously no one was a winner, but no one expected a winner. For the most part all Obama did was sit there with the dumb smirk (I hate) and say nothing.

By comparison, the nation's first black President not only looked like the greatest of Presidents, but he showed that he is simply a superior form of human being.

Kudos to President Obama. We have been fortunate to have this great man at the helm.
You have to give Bill credit since he is one of the few news people that dared ask Obama a tough question.

Obama did nothing but divert the question and/or lie.

A "great man" at the helm? Did someone replace Obama?

What a waste of an opportunity? The following is hardly a tough or hard hitting question. Shulman's visits to the "White House" have been the subject of Congressional hearings. Is there anyone who has following the IRS "scandal" that could not have answered the question?


O'REILLY: I've got to get to the IRS...

OBAMA: Yes.

O'REILLY: -- because I don't know what happened there and I'm hoping maybe you can tell us. Douglas Shulman, former IRS chief, he was cleared into the White House 157 times, more than any of your cabinet members, more than any other IRS guy in the history, by far.

OK, why was Douglas Shulman here 157 times?

Why?

The bad thing is that everyone suffers for Obama's disasterous presidency. That is what we get with no plans, no leadership and a smug charlatan.
Yeah and frankly I can see how O'Reilly comes off disrespecting the office of the presidency. Of course Obama didn't help matters to sinking to his level.

Sign of the times I guess.
