No, I'm not talking about Oprah. I'm talking about Obama's interview with Bill O'Reilly.

This is the first time the candidate has gone on the factor and the interview aired in parts over the last few days.

Did anyone watch? What did you think? Who came out ahead?

I just thought it was good to see a political interview that wasn't all politicalese, or campaign-speak. It showed Obama in a different way then you usually see him on the stump and speaking. and I liked the O'Reilly "no spin" approach that wouldn't let him wander.

Obama not “stumping” on the factor ? You must have been watching with the sound turned off ! It was interesting but obviously a “hostile” interview , making Obama answer a question on average took 4 tries and a very determined mind set and when he did answer directly it was always fallowed with a “BUT” and a bunch of his campaign rhetoric

O'Reilly came out ahead but he still didn't question him hard about anything.

Obama, cann't speak without a teleprompter.

Still yet no one has asked about his brith certif. or about haveing dual citizenship.

Or why he won't admit that he went to a Muslim School, Studied Muslim, was regestered as a Muslim.

He has never answered a question without, "BUT" and then he goes on into a bunch rhetoric that means nothing.

Obama got very lucky that Bill treated him as he does ANY interview he does. Yes it can be agressive, but thats why we watch, because the spin is stopped.

Obama had NO answer to associations, and when he found he couldn't get out of it, tried to tell Bill he had associations like that as well, and Bill squashed that flat!

The issue on taxes, Obama used the example the waiteress in squaller.. Yea? We all started like that! So Bill Gates can go to Donald Trump and feel sorry for Trump then? Its all relative! He called him out on his Socialism.

Silverfox.. Obama did slip up on Sunday during an inteview where he referenced his muslim religion, and George had to correct him. Obama didn't even recognize it until George brought it up!

Call me a conspiracy guy, but you don't go to Rev. Wright for 23 years, million man marches, support others that like Louis Farakahn, slip up with "57States" and your "muslim faith" and NOT see the trend!

I link interviewers who ask a question, and then
allow their guest to answer, without attempting
to cut them off less then 10 seconds into their reply.
I don't see why anyone (except a republican) would
do an interview with O'reilly. I like to hear Q&A.
I like to see reporters dig into facts, not arguments.
Too much time wasted in shows like that.

Can you imagine the outrage that would have been
displayed if Palin had been interviewed in that fashion?

Watch Charles Gibson interviewing Palin.
Can anyone see a difference in the way those interviews were conducted?
