Obama on The O'Reilly Factor

Obamaoreilly

Barack Obama appeared on FOX News' The O'Reilly Factor last night.

Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

And just as a side note, it has been ages since John McCain (or Sarah Palin for that matter) held any kind of news conference with reporters.

  1. Oh and there goes the loser NOBAMA again... asshole that he/she is (oh how I long to watch him/her eat his/her shitty flavored words in November!)! The only bigger loser on this particular page is Billo for being such an unmitigated fucking moron...oh, hold on, that is on any page that Billo appears on.... sorry fella, hate to restrict your asshole-ness to just one page, forgive me. You're a stupid c*nt no matter where you are!

  2. Hmm, Andy, in your side note you implied that O'Reilly was a "reporter". I gotta believe that was a slip.

  3. That was a good exchange. Partly because Barack Obama stood up to Bill O'Reilly without losing his cool and partly because Obama didn't get caught out because he's not a flip-flopper and has a consistent, unwavering message. But mostly because O'Reilly -- as intelligent and informed as he is -- couldn't break Obama.

    Bravo.

    The Sunday news shows are basically saying that Hillary's campaigning tomorrow in FL and beyond is going to focus on mccain.

    It sounds like to me that she might do a lot of ignoring of palin since she is beneath her. :-) Played right, the woman getting 18 million votes ignoring the "handed her position" could be a harsher rebuttal than an hour long speech.

    However she approaches it, all I know is that I will be watching and listening while eating a big bowl of popcorn.

  5. Gallup poll has McCain at +3

  6. That's called a post-convention bounce, asshole.

    You may remember Obama's bounce had him up by 9 points about a week ago. So for McCain's bounce to bring him up to only +3 means he's in deep shit. By midweek, he'll be right back where he's been since March—usually 2 to 6 points behind Obama. But I doubt you'll be dropping in here to announce that.

  7. "Gallup poll has McCain at +3"

    Temporary, no doubt, but I never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate. (As is evidenced by the man currently in office.)

    The O'Reilly interview was excellent, aside from the O'Reilly part. Bill Maher's show this week, which analyzed the Republican convention in all its absurd and gory detail, was a lot more fun, however.

  8. LOL

    Busted nitwits NOB and Ernie

    Why lie???

    Gallup poll = Obama ahead 2%

    Gallup DAILY TRACKING = mccain ahead 3% (not even the 4% part of your lie) DAILY TRACKING range all week was Obama +9% to +6%....first day and ONLY day mccain ahead at all and at 3%

    The 2% Obama ahead is the closest to the overall of the Daily Tracking

    DAILY TRACKING is very inaccurate and only gives a shadowy pulse at the moment.


    LOL

    You both are either too stupid to understand what you were looking PLUS the lie or you just lied knowing that DAILY TRACKING isn't accurate

    LOL

    Busted

    The latest electoral college poll which is state by state poll and the electoral college is what elects the president = Obama 308 electoral college votes (270 wins it)

    LOL

    thanks for playing

  9. Obama was okay, but I remember Clinton's interview with O'Reilly and she ran circles around him. Alas.

  10. USA Today/Gallup realeased this morning now has McCain at +10

    Posted by: nobama | Sep 8, 2008 7:11:11 AM


  11. Jimmy, you might want to calm down and actually read comments before you pick your "busted nitwits." I was quoting Nobama and responding to that. You should know by now that I'm hardly a McCain supporter. That said, I don't care what the polls say day to day. We need to pay attention to electing Obama, not to the horse race.

  12. Ernie

    I appologize.

    nobama's interp of the gallup daily tracking poll sent me into a spiral and I lumped you in with him.

    Nob

    The 10% USA today / Gallup poll is "likely voters". Likely voters are determined based on voting in 2000 and 2004. If a person didn't vote in those elections even though a registered voter and adamently going to vote for Obama, they don't get counted. All likely voter polls have always! shown mccain ahead. The polls of registered now polls no dependent on past voting all show Obama ahead. Especialy with the HUGE voter registration drive by the Obama camp (for example 49,000 new voters in VA)

  13. I read USA TODAY every day, and as much as I like a lot of their writing, their polls consistently skew more conservatively than others by various networks and news organizations. There's still a lot of fluctuation going on.

    And I'd say Obama scored points with O'Reilly just be keeping his cool and knowing what he's talking about. The fact that the McCain campaign isn't doing any interviews right now is very revealing, and the Dems should be highlighting that in ads. "What are they afraid of?"

  14. AGES? John McCain was on Meet the Press on Sunday.
