oh that was you.
I personally dont see why a citizen (not military) can't chat with the president like he is just one of us. He works for us. |

orielly is an idiot. education does not equate to intellegence. If he is any indication of an IVY league education you'd be better off getting a degree online from jamaica university.

In fact, O'reilly really has had a lot of decorum and decency with the President. He is entitled to ask what he wants, the President can answer or not as he wants.

I've noticed that President Bush seems more approachable and at ease or more personable than most other presidents have been. I think that's a good thing as it makes him more down to earth than Mr Stiff-Neck.

I agree.
I thought his manners were lacking. A little respect is in order. O'Reilly to the President: "C'mon!" That was embarrassing. |

so you think it was over the top to criticize him?
maybe so, but I just thought he was pompous about it, and came across as "I'm bill fucking Oreilly" Plus, the story wasn't The Factor but what the man had to say on issues/the campaign |

That's true, but he's the guy we've agreed to trust with the safety of our selves and our families in areas of operation over which we are powerless. He's entitled to some respect. I stand up when a man 30 years older than I enters a room; I wouldn't talk to the president as I would to the guy on the next bar stool, even if (God forbid) the president were John Kerry. Now, if he put his feet up, cracked a beer, and said "FLAL1A, it's just you and me. Let's talk straight," I'd have no problem saying "Mr. President, I think you're a dumbass and you're screwing up badly. Here's why." If he didn't say "Let's talk straight," I'd say "Mr. President, I have some problems with some of your policies, and I'd like to explain them to you." |

Regardless, O'reilly's casual manner is really putting the President in a good light. He is a regualr, approachable guy and people are seeing that through his good sportsmanship. It took serious guts to do the show knowing O'reilly tears into people when he disagrees with them.

Respect --------- maybe a little but he works for the American people -- he is not royalty. |

True.
But the interview made me uncomfortable. My wife noticed too. We cringed at his manner. I don't think that the President need to be treated as royalty, but I DO think he should be treated with a slight degree of formality. It's the classy thing to do. You call ambassadors "exellency", you call bishops "your emminence", you call older women "ma'am". It's what makes us different from the savages. Culture, class, Western Civ, Chivalry. It's called being a gentleman. |

Whatever happened to having some repsect and self-dignity in certain situations??
Some people just have to act informal. Just to prove a point. It's stupid. It's like people who won't dress appropriately for a funeral, wedding, etc...... It's like people who think they can act however, and do what ever, and say whatever they want, irregardless of the situation.

Bill O'Reilly is a self-absorbed salesman and the product he is selling is himself.
He is not, I repeat, NOT conservative. |

Bill O'Reilly is a self-absorbed indignation peddler.
Congrats on getting his attention. |

+1 90% of the ideology O'Reilly spouts is worse than the most pernicious lefty humanistic crap. I have more respect for Dan Rather. At least Rather doesn't pretend to be something he isn't. I guess what really bugs me about O'Reilly is his knack of treating EVERYONE like a brain damaged child. Pfft! Fuck that lefty shitbird. Just another reason not to turn the TV on. |

+1 Except he is a terrible salesman since he is losing his audience like crazy right now. Don't let "The Leprechaun" get to you (credit to Michael Savage). |

Those are the words I have been searching for. I happen to like Michael Savage even though he is a raging lunatic and I often dissagree with him. Thing is....savage is a raging lunatic, but he doesn't talk down to you and doesn't pretend like he needs to hold your hand. He is entertainment and knows it. O'reily, on the other hand, has this attitude that if he wasn't there to hold your hand and wipe your ass, you'd shit your pants and die hungry sitting in a corner. |

Did any of you guys see 60 minutes with the O'Reilly interview? There were several issues that had a very leftist view.

I thought OReillys interview was EXCELLENT.
I had no problem with the "tone" of the interview. Yes, hes the President - but he's a public servant. The office is due respect, the man should answer our questions. |
