advertisement time as a spokesman for loofahs.

That was not called for (but very funny)

Just allowing for an interview with this scab is detrimental as it is always an attack piece used to edit lying by FOX. Just like the 60minutes piece was debunked this topic like the IRS should never have even been brought up. Obama is confused if he thinks rational people watch O'Reilly...we just get the soundbites on the net sites we visit. O'Reilly's ego is toxic...he thinks he IS that voice in his head rather than the observer of that voice.

WHY in the world would Obama give O'Reilly the time of day, let alone an interview, when he knows full well that even for the POTUS, O'Reilly will shout over him and show the office about as much respect as he would show to a gnat.

people need to stop treating Fox News as if it is respectable - IT ISN'T - it's nothing but rightwing trash

To call itself Fox "News" is like calling Outback a vegan chain.

Exactly.

A rightwing noise machine trying (somewhat successfully) to convince some people they are a legitimate news source........

I won't waste my time clicking the link

...though I would ask for Chris Wallace if I were the President.

But it probably has something to do with the fact that Obama isn't afraid of O'Reilly and might welcome the opportunity to take on a right wing loud mouthed once in awhile.

But there's no need of giving him the satisfaction of saying Obama granted him the interview. He'll only say he blew Obama away and edit the interview to make it look that way.

so they were looking for a good flub by Obama that they could spend next week drooling over and making another mountain out of a molehill. Obama took the high road, as he always does, and made Billy Boy look like an idiot. Billy couldn't even come up with a new subject beyond Benghazi, IRS and ACA. Imagine watching FOX with their boring agenda each day. Maybe they are proud they can spell Benghazi? Can't get enough of it.

audience. If he was interviewed by a reputable journalist, Fox would have edited and misrepresented everything he said to their audience. This way, they had to at least hear the truth. I don't agree either, but if it accomplished that much I'm okay with it.

Plus OLiely and Fox will distort this for weeks against Obama/Democrats.

where Pres O will be saying yes to Benghazi, IRS and anything to make him look bad.

for subjecting his office to such disrespect and ridicule. Fuck the Super Bowl. Pick a real journalist for Pete's sake. THEY. DON'T. LIKE. YOU!!!

Not to do it would draw much more criticism than doing it.

Plus he remained composed and answered everything well.

The mouthbreathers won't change their opinions anymore than intelligent Americans will change their opinion of O'Reilly.

Which is why I won't be watching the Super Bowl. Looking like the Olympics will follow suit.

those 1% right-wing assholes.

O'Reilly accuses Pres. Obama of hiding Benghazi due to election. POTUS: "They believe that because folks like you are telling them that."

President Obama knows how to do shade. He didn't call Fox a news station. Noooo, he called it a "TV station."
Thank you sir for the laughs.

TOD

thanks alp

O'Reilly had his pasty ass handed to him.

I missed his interview with O Righty the bad porn author. Who does he think he is talking to??? Even when the President says the truth he just doesn't want the viewing audience to know the truth. And Fox viewers are too ignorant to fact check. If they did Faux news wouldn't have any viewership.

they aren't going to give these interviews to someone nobody knows.

It's good that Obama goes on there. I feel for my niece and nephew who have to watch Faux EVERY day. At least if they see Obama on and telling it like it is, maybe they can see the truth. This might wake up a few young kids stuck in a GOP household.

I'm just an American citizen. A lowly nobody who is not a celebrity, rich, or with a television show who's opinion really doesn't matter a rats ass to these people.

When he's President, he can fire who he wants. Would he even try to tell any other President how to be President? I swear, it was like he was fighting saying, "boy"... but I could be imagining it.

There's nothing to the IRS "scandal." It just riles up Faux viewers because it involves a tax agency.

He could have mentioned a real scandal, like the NSA or drones...

As expected, O'Reilly constantly interrupted Obama on almost every topic. You'd think he would have learned from the last time. O'Reilly was fishing for Obama to admit that he and his administration screwed up something. It didn't matter what, just that they screwed up something. Obama is no fool,and he dodged every insult/interruption, and even called him out saying, "if you would allow me to explain". I'm sure Obama had better things to do than listen to O'Reilly's bullshit. What concerns me is that Obama allowed this to happen again. If it's a tradition, then why couldn't Obama pick and choose what far right wing racist was to interview him. What a waste of time.

O'Reilly did not show President Obama any respect in this interview

They (FAUX) would not exist without criticizing our only black president.

FAUX news - Fair and unbalanced racism.
