Why O'Reilly will play nice with Obama

[crimsonblue]

Obama met a couple of months ago with Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch to discuss FoxNews coverage of him. Obama was disapponted in the slant against Obama, while Murdoch hated the Dem boycott. Murdoch has grown increasingly upset with his network, and promised fair coverage to Obama. In the meeting, the two foxies expressed concern over Obama's natl security credentials, and Obama went a long way to explain his positions. He left the two impressed. Ailes and Murdoch gave Obama their personal numbers to call if problems arise.

Obama's chat with Billo is a tryout to see if the network can play nice. This is a gutsy and smart move by Barack, because we are going to need to reach across the table to get shit done. We do not need another administration of fervent partisanship. Good luck tonight, Barack!

3. How could Billo not like him? What's not to like, he's adorable..

Do I sound like Mrs. Seinfeld? I have a feeling it will be a very good interview, if it wasn't Obama would have let us know or said something. This is good for Billo too, he can brag now and show up Hannity...

4. There's another reason he'll play nice

Murdoch, Ailes, and the rest can read the polls.

When Obama is in office, they don't want every other network out there to have access, and them to get squeezed out.

Believe me, it'll happen if Billo screws this pooch.

5. If Obama is going to be on O'Reilly

then Palin should be on Countdown.
