    Again you lack any reason and just use ridicule. What in my comment makes you think I am ignorant? You ruin this forum if all you can contribute is weak insults.

    Again what is ignorant about the comment? You don't contribute anything to this forum if you post my remarks and say "this is ignorant". Provide why it is ignorant.

    The simple fact that you can't understand why Obama would shy away from publicly calling for Mubarak to resign. Pundits can make those calls all they want, Presidents generally handle these kinds of issues through the Secretary of State.

    If you have to ask, you'll never know

    *heavy sigh*

    [edit] BTW, several people have accurately pointed out the reason your post is ignorant. As a Doc in Political Science, I'm surprised you haven't acknowledged that.

    I've seen enough of Olbermann to know he's just a angry liberal. There was a reason why his ratings were plummeting.

    I thought he was pretty fair and respectful with the president. Yes he interrupted him a few times but overall I think both men probably get along fine off camera. They have both have their agenda's to get across.

    As I said, Obama's views on Egypt is well known and widely reported. Anyone who reads the news knows where the U.S. is at. American's didn't elect Obama to aid you with your lack of reading comprehension. There are specialists who deal with learning disabilities. You should schedule an appointment with one of them.

    Publically calling for Mubarak is not a productive tactic, it's a gainst the interest of both Egyptians and the U.S. That's why the administration is not doing it right now. Making such a call on O'Reilly doesn't make him honest, it makes him r****ded.

    Obama's been interviewed by O'Reilly before and decided to come back. I think the President finds O'Reilly to be someone he can work with.

    I would love to see Obama on Glenn Beck, though. Just for entertainment.

    So I should assume others' arguments are your own? I should of realized that since you are not capable of making arguments.
    That's not true. The Egyptian protesters have been very disappointed in Obama's inability to take a stand. They have said this numerous times.

    You gotta love O'Really's "You don't know squat about what you are doing, Mr President" attitude.
    That was some major azz-hole air time.

    I don't agree with most political policy today, I certainly don't agree with most of the President's strategies, but that was the first time I have ever seen BO- that man should have his show cancelled. He was disrespectful, and arrogant towards the President.

    I was ashamed to see him interrupt the president, ask stupid leading questions and basically act like a jack ass.

    The President showed class, dignity and respect to a man who certainly didn't deserve it.

    Mr. O'Reilly should be mature, honorable and intelligent when conducting an interview with the nation's president. He seemed politically annoying, childishly brash and quick to assert his prominence.

    You lose the substance of issues when you are so politically charges and selfishly self promoting.

    Disgusting!
    Stupid

    If this is what TV journalism is like and people actually watch these shows, rather right or left, dem or repub. then it is no wonder people are dumbed down polical fodder in our nation.

    The democrats and rebublicans deserve exactly what they get- nothing accomplished.

    Yup I know Obama was on O'Reilly before. O'Reilly has always said he respect Obama even though they disagree on issues and I think the feeling is mutual.

    Obama on Beck would be pretty entertaining. Never going to happen though :)

    Sadly, this is typical from cable TV journalism that people are getting used to it. Fox trailblazed the style with high ratings... other channels with different political bents followed.

    People love conflict and drama. News is an afterthought. It's become a contest on how they can one-up each other with the same material, like two different shows about a doctor or cop drama...

    That was embarrassing, President Obama is our president. I certainly respect his public image, he has a lot of class.

    He didnt out right say it but I got that he was implying it.
    O'Reilly used a quote from the WSJ and Obama shrugged it off and said it would be like quoting from the NY Times. (I got this as he basically dismissed the WSJ quote because its biased and implying that the NY Times is also biased. By the way if you can't see how these publications or any news outlet is CLEARLY biased in what they report then you need to pay attention).

    Props to Obama on that interview actually. Other than dodging a few questions I thought he came out as pretty honest and upfront. He admitted half the nation does not approve of his health care bill.

    I disagree with you. I thought O'Reilly was fair. Obama clearly knew what he was doing when he AGREED to be on O'Reilly. O'Reilly is not going to change his interview style its what makes him O'Reilly and Obama knew that. Plus the President has a huge entourage of political strategists. They are not going to let him make a fool of himself. (Unless you are Palin, she just does that herself. Sorry other conservatives) Anything they DECIDE and AGREE to do is only trying to help boost his public image and apparently it has. So I don't think Obama or his team would have wanted O'Reilly to have acted any differently.
