Obama SLAMS FOX NEWS In Bill O'Reilly Interview



This particular exchange between President Obama & O'Reilly occurs at 6:20 and 8:13 of the video.






President Barack Obama took a shot at Fox News in an interview with the network's Bill O’Reilly ahead of the Super Bowl XLVIII matchup between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks. O'Reilly brought up the Benghazi and IRS scandals that have, in many ways, plagued Obama's presidency. The Fox News host accused Obama of distracting from the scandals to protect his image and campaign.


“Your detractors believe that you did not tell the world [Benghazi] was a terror attack because your campaign didn’t want that out,” O’Reilly said. “That’s what they believe.”

“And they believe it because folks like you tell them that,” Obama said. "These kinds of things keep on surfacing in part because you and your TV station will promote them."



Prior to the interview, O’Reilly told Fox’s Megyn Kelly that he was “not nervous.” “He is not a bad guy, I think people misread him,” he said. “However, my interview this time is going to be very precise.”

.....(This interview is nothing more than a 2014 Republican campaign ad.) Obama said, “Understand that by definition, anybody who is attacking our compound is an act of terror.” O’Reilly then tried to play the Susan Rice card, and he claimed that he was just a confused American. Obama accused Republicans of creating a political agenda over protecting Americans. O’Reilly got hammered when he asked if it was a terror attack. O’Reilly used the patented Fox News folks believe line, and the president replied, Folks believe it, because you are telling them that......

O'Reilly accuses Pres. Obama of hiding Benghazi due to election. POTUS: "They believe that because folks like you are telling them that."

President Obama knows how to do shade. He didn't call Fox a news station. Noooo, he called it a "TV station."

O'Reilly doesn't have a thought in his head and should not be given such access.

I can guarantee you some jerk will post on YouTube with the heading "O'Reilly Has Obama For Lunch" and all of the haters will go "Yea baby!".

12. They've always hated him (or any Dem) so I doubt if he loses any sleep tonight.

The body language (that Billo loves to yak about) was hilarious. Billo at the edge of his chair. constantly rudely interrupting and shaking his head no, no, no. Why didn't he just call POTUS a liar and be done with it. I have never seen such disrespect towards a person, much less a president. Obama looked like he knew it was all going to happen-why do the interview in the first place?

9. You'd think after Romney parroted that false talking point (re: Benghazi) in the debates...

And made a fool out of himself, that they'd put it to rest already. Obama flat-out said it was a terror attack, THE VERY NEXT DAY.

But who gives a shit? Why are we parsing words instead of talking about how the GOP *cut funding* to embassy and consulate security in the years leading up to the attack??

Talk about creating a crisis then milking it for all its worth...
