O'Reilly coaxes and jostles Obama into submission

The first part of the O'Reilly Obama interview provided me with some respect for Bill I thought he'd never earn. When watching his past "exposes," he never failed to disappoint in that he never quite got to the meat of the issue. I've attributed it to his general lack of sophistication politically--or he's really a great Devil's Advocate.

However last week, he was able to coax the truth out of Obama re: the surge. In so doing, along with the his body language, Obama managed to come off like a little boy trying to persuade his history professor that he really did read the assignment.

As I've watched Obama for the past year or so, I've noticed he is a cauldron of anger...and when it's tapped (when things aren't going well in the campaign), he loses his temper. Moreover,I believe that "temper" they talk about with McCain is pretty measured by now. An older man probably has learned how to direct it. But in Obama? It's not becoming.

I'm not at all sure Obama and, more importantly, his PEOPLE can tolerate the political reality that there are those who disagree with them. Note: the knee jerk press release from them when Mrs. Palin was announced. What did it say? Something about her being a hick? Something about having zero experience? That reveals tremendous arrogance backed by anger.

I shouldn't be so hard on them, I suppose. They never learned to appreciate that opposition is not often seen in the thuggish machine politics of Chicago. Listening to your opposition is a learned trait.

Obama's interview with O'Reilly confirmed to me our little boy is not nearly ready. Not yet. Maybe never. Real men don't treat women the way he does. Neither are the bunch behind him who want a black man elected no matter what it does to our country...how women have been belittled and disenfranchised for the "dream."

We watched how little girls saw Hillary get planted in the back row regardless of those 18 million, just like any good ole boy network; how little boys get to see their daddies mistreat and insult women and have that ideal reinforced; how a professional woman like Michelle Obama was forced by the good ole boys to dumb down her speech; how a group of so called Democrats have pulled off the most undemocratic nomination modern America has ever seen.

Of course, the other big story that has been completely missed by MSM is the fact that a small group of nerds can rearrange the entire Republican introduction strategy based on a lie--Dailykos.com told a whopper, but no one looks at that--they just jump on Palin and the "vetting" process.

Until the real stories, like the ones above are asked about of the candidate, people like O'Reilly simply fill in some blanks. In other words, I don't expect much, unless Obama loses his temper.

Thanks for the read.
