I'm amazed that both of those egos could even fit in the same room.

Uh ... uh... uh ...

He doesn't say anything at all. Nothing.

"Weren't working as closely as we should have with the Europeans ..."

Ugh. The Europeans were making money off Saddam Hussein. Duh.

A talking head and a talking ass.

For me (i'm a Portuguese), the consequences of a Obama victory would be few.. but for you, American Lizards, the consequences would be disastrous. Not because of Obama, but because of those who are behind him.

Bill. *smack* Stop interrupting him when he's making an ass of himself.

Wasn't there a football game on last night? Vandy beating up on the Gamecocks or something?

I refuse to actually watch it. If O'Reilly fails to rip O'Bama a new lie-hole, then he will have revealed himself to be nothing more than yet another MSM hack.

Tell me how it goes.

Bill pretends to be tough, and Obama pretends to be presidential.

I heard a clip of this earlier today, with Obama explaining how the fact that he was completely wrong about the surge proves that he was, er, right. Or something like that.

IMO, this was a setup ... they had Megyn Kelley and Newt Gingrich on with their b&tchslap of the media (Kelley with US, Newt with NBC). Then they had liberal women, who tied themselves up in knots talking about Palin.

Then Obama comes out and OReilly forces "the surge worked beyond his wildest dreams" ... Too bad that the biggest proponent of it was ... McCain and opponent was ... Obama. Then the speeches - I actually wish this preceded Rudy's speech, that would be theater. And don't think that every lib in the country wasn't watching that interview.

Not interested in either of those assholes

O'Reilly agrees that Iraq was the 'wrong battlefield'. I repeat what I said the other day. He is a dullard. With everything we know now, it was very much the RIGHT battlefield.

I say it again. Ugh and Duh. That's for both of them. Twits.

Ack! You're right! I said yesterday I wanted O'Reilly to get tumbleweeds and crickets out of this interview and there I went and watched it.

*head desk*

My teenage son makes a better candidate than Obama, he's got a bunch of community org time on his resume too!

what i find found interesting and funny, is that the Democrats have since 2001 berated GW Bush for going to Iraq "to steal their oil"

In this interview, Obama basically said he wanted to go with O'Reilly to Iraq and get the oil.

SAY WHAT NOW?

/.75 cents please?

Obama's refusal to admit he was wrong to vote against the surge was very revealing. He kept harping on the idea that we the Iraqis are not taking the responsibility over there. This despite the fact that we just handed over another territory to them. He just can not accept that he might have been wrong.

Would've liked to see Bill drill down on Barry O's "present" votes in the Senate. The guy has no backbone when it comes to sticking to your guns.

About 1 min in Obama says that Iran is a "major" threat.

What OReily SHOULD have followed up with -
"But Senator - a few weeks ago on the campaign trail you said that Iran was not a big threat, since is was such a small country. Why the turnaround?

About a minute later Obama mentioned that he felt we haven't exhausted diplomacy.

What OReily should have said - "Senator, do you really feel Pres Amadenajad (sp) a man who regularly calls for was with the west and the destruction of Israel will be swayed by diplomacy"

Why won't ANYONE in the press - really ask this guy hard, direct questions?
Are they really all afraid of being called racist?

This man wants to be President? He sure doesn't act Presidential. He's a chump. He will be exposed in the debate. McCain won't let him off the way O'Reilly did.

And correspondingly, in a MSM piece about racism showing up in Obama opponents, every simple example they had was either a Hillary supporter or unknown. And, for example, one of the unknowns was a union boss. You guess if he ususally votes Republican.

Until or unless he asks the question that NEEDS asking and refuses to accept a non-answer, I'll have ZERO respect for Bill the walking ego. That question is:

On (insert date) you said (insert statement - "pull out of NAFTA" for instance) and on (insert other date) you said (insert contradictory statement). Were you lying then or are you lying now?

He didn't do it with Clinton and I'm sure he didn't do it with Obama. He's an ass.

Obama said (in this interview) Islam has been "perverted" by the terrorists. He is copying Bush so its really more of the same, yes?

Do you know of any real moderate Muslims who abhore terrorism that do not have a fatwa death threat on them? Chew on that.

The largest Muslim anti-terror demonstration (since 9/11) against Islamic Jihad had a total of 50 people. Swallow that one.

I know what Obama is, and nothing he could say would change my opinion of him. And I don't know enough about O'Reilly to really care to have an opinion of him.

Come on people. Some of you that are saying you won't watch Bill probably watch CNN or MSNBC or go to KOS to see what they are saying. I know O'Reilly is a blowhard and often very annoying, but he also has some good points on occasion. Is there something I don't know about that causes this dislike?

The whys are so darn vague they can change with the wind. That may make a good politician or talk show host but it sure doesn't make a good president.

Did he ask this question:

"Senator Obama, is it true that you had your first political "coming out party" in the home of William Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn, who sponsored your first political run for office, and who referred to you as "our man"?

You, my friend, are a very astute person. It is the people behind Obama that concern me greatly too. However, I must correct you on your first statement. I would not underestimate the impact of the demise of capitalism in America. If America falls to socialism/communism (and I believe under Obama the transition will be rapid and complete) there is no telling what will happen to the rest of the world.

He is an empty, stage handed suit who has formed around him a cabal of ne'er-do-wells, criminals, thugs, left wing wackos, religious nutjobs (some for 20 years) and communists.

It is amazing he might get elected.

Donna Brazile said if he is elected nothing is going to change... Hmmm.

Barack gesticulates well beyond his personal space.

interesting how obama thought that it wouldn't be prudent for the president to tip his hand with regards to any military action with iran [2:39 in]. unless i'm mistaken, we've had over 7 years of leakage from known and unknown sources - with the aim of sabotaging the bush administration.

The interview is being stretched over four nights. Supposedly he gets to the Ayers questions on Tuesday.

"The surge succeeded beyond everyone's wildest imagination."

What BHO is trying to say is "McCain was for it but didn't think it would work either so our views were really no different." McCain just got lucky... essentially, "he called heads, I called tails no one could have known that heads was going to come up though." How pathetic.

When I read the below report that last night's interruption was conspired by operative(s) at MSNBC, I came to the conclusion that NBC may be guilty of contributing to criminal violations that should put their license in jeopardy. Enough is enough. This network is now violating FCC by actively campaigning for a political party. Is anyone listening? It is time to fight.

Report:

Did the Code Pink members who interrupted John McCain's speech last night use MSNBC press badges to get into the hall? Not according to Code Pink itself, which claims the two women "obtained passes to the convention from disaffected Republicans."

Right.

There is another much more intriguing explanation out there. According to Shay at Booker Rising, which describes itself a newsite for black moderates and black conservatives [emphasis added]:

I took the shuttle bus back to Minneapolis, and I overheard a convention organizer named Phil telling a convention delegate that the protesters on Wednesday night got through because of media credentials that were traced back to MSNBC (he told her that each credential has an individual bar code for each convention invitee). They suspect MSNBC this time as well.

re: #16 kynna

I completely agree. All of the terrorists killed in Iraq had to be killed somewhere. Better Iraq than, say, Florida. Iraq was a festering boil that needed to be lanced for the good of everyone concerned. Except the al Qaeda types and their fellow travelers. The latter would include the Democrat Party.

Right OHB. Put more pressure on Pakistan or, we'll cut all military (and other) aid.
Oh yea!
Please tell me just what pressure would work in a radically islamic country of 170 million with nuclear weapons that hates the West and the USA in particular and almost forgot, with an intelligence service that comprises one third of the armed forces, the ISI, which in fact helped create the Taliban.

Good luck with that pressure.

And oh yea, just what are you going to do after you cut off the military and other aid?

Another prime example of the folly of style over substance.

re: #77 midwestgak

HAH! The NYT already notes where the real fight is, and that Obama has already lost the media.

The real battle?

It's Hillary v. Palin.

The candidate that the Democrats (and the NYT among others) shafted versus Palin, the most popular politician in the nation. It's not even about Obama v. McCain. McCain's maverick choice has totally screwed with the media and the Democrats in ways I'm just beginning to enjoy.

Popcorn anyone?

I think Bill-O handles the high-profile politicians with kid gloves, as he has to if he ever wants to have any more on his show. So they usually get off relatively unscathed. I think he was equally gentle with BO, but BO still came off looking pretty foolish. Imagine if Bill gave him the treatment he gives to those he doesn't have to suck up to?

re: #9 Fat Jolly Penguin

Bill. *smack* Stop interrupting him when he's making an ass of himself.

Bill stop talking? Are you kidding?

O'Reilly talks like he doesn't take any BS, and he doesn't. He presses hard for straight answers and doesn't let people fumble their way out of his questions --- provided its Maude Smith from Long Island or Tom Jones from Iowa. But anyone who is "important" always get a pass from O'Reilly. He never follows-up to press for the truth or what's really behind an answer when its one of America's "princes" in the box.

And, like the blatter on the Sunday talk shows the reason is the same --- he wants the "prince" to come back on the show so he cuts them plenty of slack so they don't make fools out of themselves. Remember, p*ss them off and they avoid your show. Truth and information for, what O'Reilly likes to call "the folks", is the furthest thing from his mind.

If O'Reilly used the same technique on Obama that Megyn Kelly did on the weasel from "Us Weekly" Obama would have to withdraw from the race. O'Reilly is just hot air.

re: #52 Ford_Prefect

How about the fact that he has been kissing up to Obama on his radio show since at least March or April? I used to catch it while driving my kids to their afternoon activities.

In addition, how about the fact that he chose to announce and air his interview on the same day as McCain's acceptance speech? I heard him give many callers the brush off when they would try to bring up the Chicago Annenberg Challenge way back in May. It's September now, and apparently nobody on his staff bothered to do any research on it?

Right from the start I was suspicious of who was behind Obama, because of all the co-ordinated and instantly appearing signs, bumper stickers, book, and media coverage. It was orchestrated by whom? No-one would claim that.

Certainly the regular common people weren't behind him, and I felt very manipulated.

You can clearly see that Mr. Barely is aging from the process. However, from the follow-up question about Iran being a major component of terrorism, you can clearly see the gears working in Mr. Barely's vacuous head to try and spin this to the point that saying Iran isn't a part of the same terrorist network, which is clearly is under the Bush Doctrine Axis of evil. Aside from the fact that they fund Hizballah and HAMAS, this bufoon wants to downplay that Iran has been calling for the death of America since 1977. This douche is an outgrowth of Jimmy Carter's failed foreign policy and you can see it in the way he tries to nuance his way to a non-answer answer.

The oil market is starting to suffer from oversupply, the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC) chairman said on Friday, days before a key OPEC meeting on crude output levels.

"The market is well served and has even started to suffer from oversupply," said Shukri Ghanem, who also acts as the country's oil minister, adding that the Organisation of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) aimed to balance supply and demand.

"Prices have lowered and the supply is exceeding demand. The role of OPEC is to maintain the balance," he told AFP ahead of a meeting of the oil cartel in Vienna on Tuesday.

"But we are not going to make decisions before studying the the market situation," the economic committee report and the opinions of member countries, he added.

Oil prices fell below 105 dollars on Friday with Brent North Sea crude for delivery in October dropping 1.45 dollars to 104.85 dollars a barrel in electronic deals.

New York's main contract, light sweet crude for October, fell 1.49 dollars to 106.40 dollars a barrel.

OPEC will meet amid speculation that the group, which produces 40 percent of the world's oil, may decide to cut output as prices edge toward 100 dollars.

Many analysts expect oil prices to continue to fall because of fears of recession in the United States and Europe.

Crude oil, which hit a record high 147.27 dollars on July 11 in New York, has lost nearly 40 dollars in less than two months.

Oil prices had broken through 100 dollars a barrel for the first time at the start of January on geo-political concerns, notably surrounding the ongoing nuclear power dispute between the West and Iran, which is a major producer and exporter of crude oil.

re: #62 zombie

He told Newt Gingrich that in the second installment on Monday night he did ask about Ayers ... I wonder if he asks about the cover up?

But giving Obama the chance to answer isn't the way to nail the guy ... He's a Chicago politician - he's crafty. He beat his last 2 opponents by his version of October surprises. I think the interview just shows how average he is, and that is good. Now Karl Rove has to get the machine running for his October surprise.

re: #88 lawhawk

HAH! The NYT already notes where the real fight is, and that Obama has already lost the media.

The real battle?

It's Hillary v. Palin.

The candidate that the Democrats (and the NYT among others) shafted versus Palin, the most popular politician in the nation. It's not even about Obama v. McCain. McCain's maverick choice has totally screwed with the media and the Democrats in ways I'm just beginning to enjoy.

Popcorn anyone?

Is Hilary dumb enough to push her negatives even higher? If she really comes out strong against Palin, I think it proves that she doesn't intend to run for POTUS again. It also would indicate that she has her eye on Senate Majority Leader. The more "loyal" she appears to the democrat ticket, the stronger her case to depose Harry Reid.

re: #89 cliffster

I think Bill-O handles the high-profile politicians with kid gloves, as he has to if he ever wants to have any more on his show. So they usually get off relatively unscathed. I think he was equally gentle with BO, but BO still came off looking pretty foolish. Imagine if Bill gave him the treatment he gives to those he doesn't have to suck up to?

Do you really want him to treat Obama with the same disrespect he shows some of the other people he has on the show? Like it or not, the man may end up being our next President. None of us would be too happy if one of the liberal nutjobs out there treated McCain with obvious disrespect. Bill did try several times to get Obama to admit he had made a mistake on the surge, but Obama just wasn't going to do it. What is O'Reilly supposed to do? Get into a screaming match with the guy? He made his point by making it clear the Obama was refusing to admit the mistake and then he moved on.

re: #83 Cato

Please note that while Obama would not take the military option off the table, he wouldn't say he would prepare for it. Isn't that what makes the option effect, if your enemy knows you are prepared to do something to them?

Yep, 'tis so!

I think back to McCain's specch last night, when he said he hated war, after he'd talked about his family's and his sacrifices.
He made a pause - it was dead quiet, and everybody who wasn't a moron knew that McCain of all people did not have to say 'but we'll fight with all we have if we must'.

For me, that was the 'speak softly but carry a big stick'- moment ...

Huge difference to B0 blathering on about military options on tables!

Even here on CD an attack, not on her person, but on her stand on the issues will is met with words like "bigot" and "misogynist".

To me this has nothing to do with her being a woman and everything to do with her being a right-wing asshole."

If indeed honest non-gender-related criticisms of Palin are being met with accusations of sexism, then I'd have to agree with the writer that that would be wrong.

However, I've yet to see any of that. In a world as big as ours, I've no doubt that somewhere, someone on some blog posting made such a silly argument, but overall, I have NOT seen Palin being given that protected status.

I have seen genuine sexist attacks about Palin (why isn't she home with the kids, who will give Trig the care he needs, will she have time to serve, she just got where she is because she's a woman) where the attackers may not think they are being sexist, and therefore feel unjustly accused when they are called on it.

Well, he is a blowhard and very annoying. Also a bully who is in rapture at the sound of his own voice and frequently won't let his guests finish a statement even when they aren't spinning their points.

And furthermore, he's got it in for the SBVFT, and never fails to say that what they said about Kerry has been "discredited". I was never on a swift-boat, but I spent a lot of time in Vietnam and I know that Kerry is a lying POS and the swift-boat veterans got it right.

I think people miss the point that O'Reilly is generally despised by the left. The sympathy that Obama would engender if O'Reilly attacked him would be noticeable. To me, the interview made Obama look average, like he was repeating talking points and really had no clue about foreign policy. There was not "there" there. But who is O'Reilly's normal audience, in general - center-right to right, I think. However, Obama on O'Reilly brings more center, center-left viewers. And Obama wasn't the godchild that they had heard he would be. Just another politician out of Chicago.

But he will go after Bin Laden, which will solve everything from Terroism, which doesn't exist and Global warming.

re: #195 Ben Hur

She apparently understands her audience even less than world politics.

What we need is a Fairness Doctrine. ///

Does anyone else get the Political Diary? This is what John Fund had to say about Obama on O'Reilly:

Barack Obama walked into the lion's den of the O'Reilly Factor on Fox News last night in an attempt to upstage John McCain just before his GOP rival delivered his acceptance speech.
Mr. Obama effectively pitched himself to the largely conservative O'Reilly audience as a man who would be a forceful commander in chief. He referred to the attacks by Al Qaeda in Iraq as a "war of terror" and acknowledged the recent success of the Bush-McCain-Petraeus strategy. "I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated," Mr. Obama said. "It's succeeded beyond our wildest dreams."
On Iran, Mr. Obama talked tough and clearly signaled that he considers the Islamic regime a danger to U.S. interests. "It is unacceptable for Iran to possess a nuclear weapon. It would be a game changer."
Mr. Obama realizes that such rhetoric may alienate his liberal base, but with the election less than two months away and no detectable threat from Ralph Nader's candidacy, he no doubt believes he has plenty of running room to reassure voters who are concerned about national security.

He titled it, The One Triangulates

Yep. Great example of logical hoop jumping.

Because he (Obama) said it wouldn't work and McCain said it would work, McCain is still not right because it worked better than McCain thought/hoped. (obamalogic)

And what's more, Obama is not wrong in saying the surge wouldn't work because he didn't say that (he contends), only a surge that relied too heavily on the US and didn't use the Iraqis more. (Except, of course, the exact plan he said wouldn't work did. But somehow, he was not wrong.)

I stopped watching Bill O when he stopped calling spin-meisters on their dodging the questions. He used to interrupt with a "hey, now stop right there, this is a no spin zone, so we're going to give you another chance to answer the question without putting spin on it." Now he just says OK and moves on to the next question. I can get that on any network.

Was a sad breakup, though.

Obama did great in the first 20 seconds, after that, ehhh...not so good.
The moment he started parsing Shiite-Sunni, and so forth, you could tell he was only rewinding his talking points and had not given any close scrutiny to the Iran issues and any other national security issues for that matter.

Palin is killing the leftists.

Just an elaboration: The war went badly -- which Bush finally had to admit but then he did change his action by ordering the Surge. But under Obama's logic, Bush was right at the start. And considering where we are at today -- no Saddam, the defeat of Al Qaeda, the push back of Iran's actions, and the forming of a nascent democracy -- Bush was right all around. Thank goodness for President Bush, Gen. Petraeus, John McCain, and our marvelous men and women in the service of our country.

re: #180 zombie

Great report, and so fast! The video of the tree-chopping was worth the price of admission.

Thanks! Hopefully you can swing by sometime for the aftermath pictures - as far as I can tell they're going to be stripping branches all day, so there's still the removal and the real clear-cutting.

Just wanna tellya how much I enjoy your piccies!
Am always looking forward to them - gotta have a laugh, innit, like!

Thanks!

How is markos and his happy gang handling the fact that the ONE went on O'Reilly? I wonder if MoveOn is happy too?

re: #214 wright1

I'm dancing numbers, so I haven't watched the video. I just saw the Diary, and thought it applied.

Though Obama's too self-absorbed to be a wimp, it seems.

Obama would have gone on O'Reilly's show sooner if Bill had agreed to have a teleprompter strapped to his head.

It would be helpful to learn all the classes that Obama taught at the law school in Chicago because it really gives a clear insight as to what is important to him and it is not all Americans. He seems to have a clear agenda which he is keeping hidden from the American people.

re: #136 BeerDrinking_VictoryMonkey

The Nittally Lions are playing tomorrow. Or so Obama says.

"Nittally" sounds like a subsidiary of Eataly that sells yarn.

By the way, make with details on your "partying with Brazilian hotties" already. Not that I'm obsessed with Brazilian hotties or anything.

re: #221 ciaospirit

Yeah, well, remember when Bush saw something in Putin's eyes?

It's called acting.

why didnt Bill ask Obambi why he didnt have a plan for victory, instead of only a plan for retreat? Those werent tough questions. Orielly was for the Iraq invasion and cant see the forest through the trees. Where exactly should we fight Islamic terrorists Bill? State sponsors of terrorism cant be ignored. Hoping the problem will go away isnt a foreign policy, its liberal purple unicorn fantasy groupthink.

RE the Berkley vid:
I believe that if someone says "fuck" to a cop, the cop has a right to smack him/her

Oh, in Berkeley it's pretty normal actually.

Quote for the day:

"Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So - if you give her any crap, you will receive a ton of shit."

Love and appreciate all the women in your life..

re: #219 Cato

I disagree. The best line of the convention was: "I put it on eBay."

That line ingratiated her to so many people. She didn't hire a consultant. She didn't give it to an airplain broker. She didn't send out an rfp.

She sold it on eBay, like any mother wanting to sell something she couldn't sell in a yard sale.

Palin is killing the leftists.

She did put it on Ebay but I do not think it sold there.

I wish Obama was a conservative.

If Obama was a conservative you never would have heard of him & he would not now be running for president. If you think the media hates a conservative woman, just consider how they feel about conservative African-Americans.

re: #61 kynna

Exactly. They keep saying it was the 'wrong battlefield' but they have never explained why. Because that would pin them down and they couldn't spin. The whys are so darn vague they can change with the wind. That may make a good politician or talk show host but it sure doesn't make a good president.

Exactly. The pundits are too dumb to know the real reasons we chose Iraq as the central front, and one of them was to have a major country nestled in the heart of the Middle East reject and kick out al-Queda, fighting with recruits of their own country.

Strength and success create prestige plus recruits in the ME. It was a GIGANTIC blow to the brand.

As Fox News prepares to interview Barack Obama tomorrow night, during prime time, TV journalist Michael Wolff details a meeting between Barack Obama, Fox News president Roger Ailes, and News Corporation president Rupert Murdoch in which the Fox execs promised to lay off the Democratic presidential candidate.

According to Wolff's telling, this was more than a mere tete-à-tete, this was a full-on diplomatic meeting (initiated at Murdoch's request), conducted only after preparation and with preconditions from the Obama campaign.

The apparent purpose? To smooth things over in the event that Obama defeats John McCain:

DU think Palin is an Aryan Supremacist. Seriously. Because she is from Idaho.

The comments are far and away the most insane I have ever seen, and that is saying something. My favorite so far:

Thanks for the correction. I was going on her own story about Trig's name - turns out she lied.

Palin herself said that Trig was a Norse name, but apparently the Norse version is spelled Trygg, so she lied about that.

And they are of course puzzled as to why Palin has such a high approval rating.

Just waiting for Barry to snap. You know it's coming ...

Oh damn, where did you come from? I’m a man! I'm entitled! There's a white woman stealing my show!'

Palin is so good that she is going to put Obama on E-Bay.

I tried to watch the first 2 minutes of this at work.

I felt my hand involuntarily reaching for the off button several times (and I normally don't turn equipment off -- I shut it down gently) and finally my BS meter pegged and blew up.

I am going to have to fortify myself back home to wade through this. Right now if the earth had swallowed these two up whole that would have been the only value I could derive from it.

Palin claim on eBay plane sale doesn't fly
By Jason George and Andrew Zajac | Chicago Tribune correspondents
September 5, 2008

JUNEAU, Alaska — When Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin sought to illustrate her frugality and flair to delegates at the GOP convention Wednesday, she described how she disposed of a corporate jet acquired by her unpopular predecessor.

"That luxury jet was over the top," Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, said to loud cheers. "I put it on eBay."

Palin's statement implied the plane was sold through the online auction site revered for empowering millions of small entrepreneurs, and Palin's spokeswoman insisted Thursday that the transaction occurred. But the plane failed to sell on eBay.

Instead, the 23-year-old 10-seat Westwind II was sold in August 2007 for $2.1 million to a Valdez, Alaska, entrepreneur; that's about $300,000 less than a broker's asking price, according to news accounts.
