Obama to Enter O'Reilly's 'No Spin Zone'
Barack Obama to make first appearance on Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor Thursday as GOP convention wraps.

Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) will appear on Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor Thursday, the network confirmed.
The interview, Obama's first appearance on Bill O'Reilly's program, will coincide with the final night of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., when GOP candidate Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) will accept his party's nomination -- and millions of Fox News' Republican viewers will be tuned to the network.
Self-deprecatingly calling himself "a pawn," O'Reilly said on Wednesday night's program that the timing of the interview, which will take place Thursday morning, was dictated by the Obama campaign.
Additionally, Obama is scheduled to appear Monday on MSNBC's Countdown, hosted by O'Reilly's archrival, Keith Olbermann.

Reguardless what side you are on, if you are honest you can see that O'Rilley was fair to Obama.
With that said, remember that O'Rilley is a commentator, not a news anchor. Some people are paid to give us there opinions... and some are paid to give us the facts.

Obama is sounding more and more like Bush every time he gets an open mike. Was I the only one who noticed Obama couldn't disagree with one single argument? It's obvious he has great respect for a true leader handling extremely complicated issues, too bad we have so many cool-aide drinking zombies out there in denial. Facts don't lie: over 3,000 days terror-free, a 5-year war with the lowest casualty count (and biggest enemy-to-friendly casualty ratio in history), the lowest unemployment rates in 30 years, the cheapest fuel prices on the planet, and the lowest mortality rate on the planet. Obama is secretly envious, what a shame he has to lie about it to be popular. What a shame he doesn't have the guts to openly share his feelings.

I missed the interview w/Obama last nite. Partly because I was busy but also because I don't like the idea of Obama dictating the timing of it. While the Republicans had their "squads" out during the DNC, they didn't try to pull one like this.
I'm surprised that Bill would play along with Obama & broadcast some of the interview on the night McCain was giving his acceptance speech. Bad form.

The 'No Spin Zone' and 'Fair and Balanced' slogans that Fox News wants to claim are about as funny as the notion that Palin has Foreign Policy experience because Alaska is close to Russia! You can be very gratefull that only LIV'S actually watch your programs!!
